Born in 1999 and raised in the rough Cabrini-Green neighborhood of northern Chicago, Polo G was rapping by the time he was a teenager. His earliest songs appeared online in 2017, but it wasn't until his breakout single "Finer Things" that the rapper began to really take off. The motivational song was written when Polo was incarcerated, and once he was free, he recorded it and made an accompanying video, which immediately caught the attention of millions. Things moved quickly from there, as a record contract with Columbia Records soon followed and more singles were released to similar excitement.

Die a Legend, his debut full-length album, arrived on Columbia Records. The album was well-received both critically and commercially, cracking the charts and collecting glowing press. His second studio album The Goat arrived in May 2020, peaking at number two on the Billboard charts. The record included guest spots from rappers like Lil Baby, Stunna 4 Vegas, and Juice WRLD. His music videos have consistently racked up tens of millions of views.
