Polo G’s sophomore album THE GOAT has released today, the 21-year-old Chicago rapper has sampled Tupac’s 1998 hit “Changes,” on the album closer “Wishing for a Hero” featuring BJ the Chicago Kid.

The piano-driven sample has Polo G reflecting on overcoming his own struggles, “I’m from where we unheard and we can’t speak / We go to school, they try to tell us what we can’t be,” he raps. “Profit with a billion-dollar mind like I’m JAY-Z / They killed Martin for dreamin’ and now I can’t sleep.”

The song switches up midway through as BJ delivers a powerful vocal performance with a choir and ending with Polo’s younger sister proclaiming his GOAT status. “You finally made it big brother, you’re the GOAT,” she says.

The 16-track album features appearances from Lil Baby, NLE Choppa, Stunna 4 Vegas, Mustard, and the late Juice WRLD. The GOAT, is available on all streaming platforms
