Almost two years ago, Polo G released his second album The GOAT, and it was a project that helped boost him towards the star title he claims today. The full-length effort was highlighted by songs like “Martin & Gina,” “21,” and “33” with fellow Chicagoan Juice WRLD. However, Polo G nearly didn’t make it to the album’s spring 2020 release. According to a post he shared on Instagram, he nearly overdosed prior to shooting the music video for “Heartless” which was released with Mustard in 2019.

“Back story Fa Dat video I was Fresh out the hospital bed From almost overdosing Onnem pills,” he wrote to his followers in a post on his Instagram Story. Thankfully he was able to make a quick recovery and head back to work. “I pop right back out & Shoot Dat Video now dat Bitch Platinum w 100ms By it,” he added. This is not the first time that Polo has admitted to struggling with drugs. Back in December, he recalled a near-death experience where he almost overdosed on 17 pills.

“When I woke up, I was in the hospital,” he said according to Complex. “And my pops was just explaining to me like, ‘Yeah, man, they said you would had been here any second, even a minute later, you wouldn’t have made it. You probably could’ve passed.’” He added that he had no recollection of the incident. “They was just walking me through everything that happened that day, because I really didn’t remember at all,” he said. “I think it was like 17 pills I had took in one day, about 15 Xanax and two [Ecstasy] pills.”

Fivio Foreign and Quavo In The Studio Working On New Music

Fivio Foreign has arguably one of the hardest working rappers of all 2022. He’s collaborated with Kanye West on Donda 2. Fivio dropped New York’s new city anthem, drill style with “City Of Gods,” featuring Ye and Alicia Keys. He’s now working on his album B.I.B.L.E.

In the midst of finishing up B.I.B.L.E, Fivio snagged a verse from Polo G. The Brookyln rapper praised the Chicago rapper on his rap skills. He took it to his Instagram story to share it.

It’s clear that Fivio likes working with Cap A Lot. The two has teamed up numerous times before. They have the 2020 track “Bop It.” In 2021 they did “Clueless,” and also that year they did “Head shot” with Lil TJay.

Fivio’s album is expected to drop on March 25 and he has already declared it as the “biggest album in the world.”

Nearly six months after he released his third album Hall Of Fame, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard albums charts, Polo G returned with more music for fans to enjoy with Hall Of Fame 2.0. The project is a deluxe reissue of his third album which presents 14 additional songs and features from NLE Choppa, Lil Baby, Moneybagg Yo, Lil Tjay, and YungLiv. In a continued effort to promote the project, Polo G returns with a new video for “Don’t Play.”

The visual sees Polo G paired with Lil Baby, who also has a verse on the song, as the two rappers show that they’re strictly about their business. Their militant approach to life has earned them the many things they show off in the video: jewelry, luxury cars, and a crew that’s ready to support them at any moment. “Don’t Play” joins a number of tracks from Hall Of Fame 2.0 that have received the visual treatment. They include “Fortnight,” “Young N Dumb,” “Unapologetic,” Heatin Up,” and “Start Up Again.”

Polo G And Moneybagg Yo Host A Neon Twerk-Off In Their Frenetic ‘Start Up Again’ Video

by

Polo G’s Hall Of Fame is nearly nine months in the rearview, but that hasn’t stopped the Chicago product from continuing to release new content in support of the album. The latest is the video for the Moneybagg Yo collaboration “Start Up Again,” which finds the two rappers posted up in a gentlemen’s club hosting an NSFW twerk-off under the black lights as they throw cash and boast their prowess in both reciting their raps and getting derrieres to clap.

Polo’s nonstop support of his 2021 album has included videos for “Unapologetic,” “Heating Up,” “Fortnight,” and “Young N Dumb,” which all appeared on the updated deluxe edition of the album, Hall Of Fame 2.0. Polo’s relentless promotion paid off early as the original version debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, becoming his first album to do so. The deluxe edition, which was released in October, featured 14 new songs, including collaborations with Lil Baby, Lil Tjay, and NLE Choppa.

Meanwhile, Moneybagg Yo had a similarly successful 2021, dropping his own No.1 album, A Gangsta’s Pain. Moneybagg’s chart-topper was so successful that it actually returned to the top spot, producing a hit record with “Wockesha” and earning him a spot on Kanye’s upcoming Donda 2.

Polo G And Yungliv Take It From The Barbershop To The Streets In The ‘Heating Up’ Video

by

In December, Polo G dropped Hall Of Fame 2.o, the deluxe edition of his Billboard chart-topping album Hall Of Fame. Adding 14 new tracks to the Chicago rapper’s 2021 output, Hall Of Fame 2.0 features new cuts with Lil Baby, Moneybagg Yo, Yungliv, NLE Choppa, and Lil Tjay. While the release was definitely strategic in some regards, this was by no means cutting room floor material and these collaborations especially meant something more to the rapper.

On “Heating Up,” Polo G links up for the first time with Yungliv, the emerging rapper from West Philadelphia that is signed to Polo’s Capalot Records label, marking their first collaboration with each other. In a new video for the track, the pair are joined by a whole crew of friends, flexing their muscle in a barbershop, a bodega and then in the streets as guns, racks, and drinks abound. “Sundown ’til the sunup, pick a gun up, who you ridin’ with? / You would think the block a barbershop the way we linin’ sh*t,” Polo raps. It’s a fierce call out from one crew to anyone within an earshot.
