Polo G has dropped off his latest full-length project, The GOAT. Clocking in at just over 45 minutes, the Chicago rapper’s newest album features guest verses from some of the biggest names in hip-hop, including Mustard on “Heartless,” the late Juice WRLD on “Flex” and Lil Baby on “Be Something.”

Billed as the follow-up to 2019’s Die A Legend, The GOAT hears Polo G’s versatility as a melodic rapper. If his first album, which peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard 200, served as an introduction, its heir is a reflection of the rapper’s success and just how far he’s willing to go. His lyrical material is evident from the get-go, with opener “Don’t Believe The Hype” explaining the nitty-gritty of having a music career. Despite the hardships, however, he chooses to celebrate life and the legacy he continues to build, not only for himself but also for his family.

Stream Polo G’s The GOAT on Spotify.

In other music news, Pop Smoke’s posthumous album is scheduled for a June 2020 release.
