Early Life and Education 

Polo G was born and raised in Marshall Field Garden Apartments on the northern side of Chicago. His parents, Stacia Mac and Taurus Bartlett, raised him with three other children: an older sister, a younger sister, and a younger brother named Taurean. 

Taurus, aka Polo G’s childhood, was deeply shaped by the tough environment that Chicago had to offer. His mother, Stacia, played a much larger role than his father, as she managed properties and later even went on to manage his music career.

In terms of his education, he attended Wendell Phillips Academy High School in Chicago, and as a student, he alternated between his love for music and playing sports, something he quite enjoyed. He had a knack for boxing, basketball, and rapping and his middle school years were spent with him writing rhymes and lyrics in his notebook whilst he spent lunch hours doing freestyle. 

After completing school, Taurus was accepted into Lincoln University to study broadcasting, but he decided to drop out of college completely because he wanted to dedicate himself wholly to recording songs. So he never enrolled to college, and instead hustled his way to his career.

Career

Early struggles have heavily defined Polo G’s career, but he broke out with an emotionally resonant style that set him apart in hip hop.

During his teenage years, when he should have been in college, he struggled with depression after a personal tragedy, and this pain was conveyed in his song lyrics. However, he turned to ecstasy and Xanax pills to cope with the pain, which led to his being arrested for car theft and other reasons.

After having served time in jail in 2018 when he was 19, he had an epiphany and this was his turning point. Days after being released, he recorded a remix and followed it with “Finer Things”. This led to his subsequent success on SoundCloud and YouTube, and this led him towards bigger projects.

 His breakout single “Pop Out” featuring Lil Tjay became a fan favorite and reached number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100. 

He went on to release albums like “The Goat” in 2020 and “Hall of Fame” in 2021, both of which featured in the top 2 on the Billboard list. 

His singles also reached number one on the list, especially “Rapster”, “Flex”, and several more.

Throughout his career, he showcased a relentless drive to give a voice to trauma, resilience, and aspiration, thus creating his place as one of the most influential artists of his generation.
