Polo G makes his Tonight Show debut with the song “Martin & Gina” from his second studio album The GOAT, performing the song with a live band and a spring in his step. While the song is a departure from the Chicago rapper’s usual solemn fare, he keeps the same energy, rapping with a simple stage setup as the lighting effects around him accentuate the smooth single’s romantic overtures.
Polo released the video for “Martin & Gina” a little over a month ago, tapping into the inspiration for the song’s title to reimagine fan-favorite scenes from the sitcom Martin. The move proved to be a smart one, showing that the 21 year old can switch lanes from the darker subject matter he usually explores and show off his sense of humor and charm. “Martin & Gina” has since been certified Gold by RIAA, peaking at no. 61 on the Hot 100 chart.
Since debuting with Die A Legend in 2019, Polo G’s profile has risen considerably, landing him a spot on the 2020 XXL Freshman class, as well as making him a hot feature artist, with appearances on songs from Lil Durk (“3 Headed Goat“), Murda Beatz (“Doors Unlocked“), Calboy (“Fake Love”), and Juice WRLD (“Hate The Other Side”).
