Polo G has premiered the powerful music video for his new single “Barely Holdin’ On” via Columbia Records. The multi-platinum Chicago native once again teams up with “RAPSTAR” music video director ARRAD for the emotional new video. The stories shown in the music video were hand-picked by Polo featuring real life people with real life struggles, as it was important for Polo to cast these individuals rather than actors to share the very real challenges they face on a day to day basis and how they overcome them.
“Barely Holdin’ On” is the lead single from Polo’s highly anticipated new album HOOD POET to be released September 15th via Columbia Records, watch the cinematic album announcement HERE. Polo worked alongside producer Southside on HOOD POET for what is Polo’s most personal project yet. With the acronym: He Overcame Obstacles During Pain Or Emotional Trauma, the album reflects everything Polo has been through grappling with the effects of mental health and trauma while doing everything he can to break the cycle and work through the complexities of healing.
HOOD POET is out September 15 and is available for pre-order NOW.
