Polo G has stated that his upcoming album will be titled Hood Poet and will be released on August 9. He made the revelation in an Instagram post on Tuesday. “The wait is finally over,” he said in the caption. He’ll be sharing the second single from the tracklist, “We Uh Shoot.” with Lil Durk on Friday, ahead of the release date.
It is one of numerous collaborations with prominent musicians to arrive on the project. Polo will also collaborate with Future, GloRilla, 42 Dugg, Offset, the Kid LAROI, Lil Durk, G Herbo, Hunxho, and Fridayy. He referred to them as his “co-stars” in the album announcement.
While plenty of fans in the comments section of Polo’s announcement were excited about the project, others did have concerns. “We all know you gonna delay again bro donβt lie,” one top response reads. Another user asks: “Bro how is there no tjay?” Some fans theorized that will be coming on a deluxe version of the album.
Polo’s upcoming project will be his first full-length studio effort since the release of Hall of Fame in 2021. That album opened at number one on the Billboard 200, collecting 143,000 album-equivalent units in its first week. It also produced his first number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100, “Rapstar.”

Polo has been teasing the release of Hood Poet since 2022 when he teamed up with YouTuber Kai Cenat for an announcement trailer. He dropped the first single, “Distraction,” in June of that year. He ended up in legal trouble in August of 2023, leading to a significant delay. Be on the lookout for further updates on Polo G on HotNewHipHop.
