Polo G – THE GOAT

Review

Polo G’s sophomore album "The Goat", released on May 15, 2020, by Columbia Records, immediately set the streets and the charts on fire. This album, a blend of heart, raw emotion, and sharp lyricism, features a roster of heavy-hitters like Juice WRLD, Lil Baby, and BJ the Chicago Kid, making this no ordinary lineup. With beats crafted by high-caliber producers like Mustard and Mike Will Made It, Polo gears up and rolls deep with every track. The storytelling here is introspective, a look through the prism of Polo’s life and struggles, swinging between vulnerability and victory.

Leading the charge prior to the album's release, Polo G dropped singles that really set the tone; "Heartless" with Mustard vibes hard on loyalty and street cred, while "Go Stupid" became a hype anthem alongside Stunna 4 Vegas and NLE Choppa. This project wasn't just sitting pretty on streaming platforms; it made some serious noise, hitting number one on the Apple Music album charts and snagging a double Platinum certification from the RIAA. Critics caught the wave too, with praises highlighting Polo’s adaptability and lyrical prowess. The album title’s nod to Capricorns like Polo himself speaks to those same traits—ambitious, persistent, destined to climb. "The Goat" isn’t just a name; it's a statement. Polo G’s laying his claim, and the streets are all ears. - Jayden
