Polo G is doubling down on that raw Chicago pulse with HOOD POET: Black Heart Edition, his deluxe expansion dropping December 19 via Columbia Records, and Crash The Party hits like a full clip unloaded at the wrong gathering—brothers locked in, no room for hesitation.
This cut, track four on the 22-song sprawl, is Polo channeling that Chicago drill DNA with Southside and Smatt Sertified on the boards: menacing 808s that rumble like lowriders on Lake Shore, hi-hats slicing through foghorn synths for a sound that’s equal parts menace and melancholy. It’s trap poetry at its gut-punch peak—Polo’s melodic flows weaving over booming production that nods to his Die a Legend roots but hits harder, more haunted.
Thematically, it’s a street elegy: crashing parties with hunnid shots as armor against the void, flirting with death’s angel while swerving I8s through rainy regrets. Lines like “Funeral lines for beautiful lives” and “Before they outline me in chalk, rather get caught with this 9” unpack the grind’s toll—loyalty to fallen soldiers, snake-in-the-grass paranoia, and that unbreakable brother code amid robberies and revenge. It’s Polo’s creative north star: turning hood scars into scripture, no cap, just catharsis that lingers like ambulance sirens.
As the Black Heart upgrade to his August 2024 Hood Poet, this 22-track beast stretches the original’s poet-in-the-trenches concept into something darker, more unfiltered—a diary of the block’s highs, homicides, and what-ifs. It kicks off with “Pain Killerz,” slides through collabs like G Herbo on “Gangsta Graduation” and the late King Von’s ghostly bars on “95 Bulls,” then digs into solo cuts such as “Lost My Friend” and “Spiritual War” before closing on “Rent Due.” VonOff1700 pops up too, keeping that O’Block echo alive. The whole thing feels like Polo reclaiming the narrative, adding unreleased gems that flesh out the hood’s heartbeat without softening the edges. His Insta teasers last week already had the comments flooding with black hearts, everyone bracing for the emotional gut punches.
Polo’s been in rebuild mode since Hall of Fame 2.0, channeling personal hits—like losing close ones and navigating fame’s pitfalls—into this poetic grit that set Hood Poet apart. The original dropped fire but left room to breathe; Black Heart Edition seals it as his most lived-in work yet, trading some early polish for bars that bleed authenticity. At 26, he’s not just the voice of the voiceless anymore—he’s the one scripting the survival guide.

Lyrics of Crash The Party by Polo G
[Intro]
Hunnid Shots When We Came To Crash The Party
Tell Them Guys We Don’t Care ’bout Nobody
Hunnid Rounds, Yeah, We Came To Catch A Body
Uh, Uh, No, We Don’t Care ’bout Nobody (Mafia)
In This World Alone, In This [?]
Hunnid Shots When We Came To Crash The Party (Uh, Uh, Uh, Uh, Uh)
Tell Them Guys We Don’t Care ’bout Nobody (Uh, Uh, Uh, Uh, Uh)
Hunnid Rounds, Yeah, We Came To Catch A Body
In This World Alone, In This [?] (808 Mafia)
[Verse 1]
Uh, Told Me You Left And I Was Hopin’ That They Ain’t Confirm It
Ambulance Ride, That Expression On Your Face Was Concernin’
With The Angel Of Death And Fate, I’m Flirtin’
Lessons You Can’t Escape From Learnin’
It’s My Story, Won’t Let You Stop This Page From Turnin’
Rainy Days In My I8, I Was Swervin’
When It Come To Bread, We Break The Bank And Burn It
But For This Heartache, You Can’t Just Pay A Surgeon, Uh
Funeral Lines For Beautiful Lives
This When You Realize It’s Set In Stone, Ain’t No Gettin’ Revived
Remember The Times His Homie Gone, It Killed Him Inside
Uh, We Grippin’ Chrome ’cause We Livin’ In Crime
Drug Deals And Robberies, That’s What Was Stuck On My Mind
’cause ‘fore I Hopped Up Off The Porch, That’s What I Saw Through Them Blinds
Before They Outline Me In Chalk, Rather Get Caught With This 9
I Hang With Snakes, If He A Rat, Then I Can’t Talk To His Kind, Nah
[Chorus]
Hunnid Shots When We Came To Crash The Party (Crash The Party)
Tell Them Guys We Don’t Care ’bout Nobody (Uh, No, No, No, Nobody)
Hunnid Rounds, Yeah, We Came To Catch A Body
In This World Alone, In This [?] (Uh, Uh, Uh, Uh)
Uh, Uh, Uh
Uh, Uh, Uh, Uh, Uh
[Verse 2]
Soldier Artist, Standin’ Tall ’til I’m The Only One Left
If I Die A Real Nigga, That’s One Promise I Kept
All That Fake Love Come When They Announcin’ Your Death
Whatever Mines Is My Brother’s, On My Couch Where You Slept
Locked In With Gang Members, So About You, We Step
I Done Really Felt Some Pain, This Ain’t For Clout What I Rap
Pull Up With Some Demons, Switches Squeezin’, Thirties Splash There
Ttg 4L, This What I’m Screamin’ With My Last Breath
Off The Curb, I Was Stuntin’, I Done Learned A Lot From Hustlin’
Close That Backdoor At Your Function, He Get Burned From Glocks With Buttons
Was Knee-deep In Them Trenches, They Be Cappin’ Like I Wasn’t
But Since You Think It’s Cap, I Hit The ‘raq, Let’s Get It Bustin’, Uh
[Chorus]
Hunnid Shots When We Came To Crash The Party
Tell Them Guys We Don’t Care ’bout Nobody
Hunnid Rounds, Yeah, We Came To Catch A Body
All My Brothers Shoot, We Gon’ Knock ’em Off (In This World Alone, In This [?])
Hunnid Shots When We Came To Crash The Party (Crash The Party)
Tell Them Guys We Don’t Care ’bout Nobody (Uh, No, No, No, Nobody)
Hunnid Rounds, Yeah, We Came To Catch A Body
All My Brothers Shoot, We Gon’ Knock ’em Off
In This World Alone, In This [?] (Uh, Uh, Uh, Uh)
Uh, Uh, Uh
Uh, Uh, Uh, Uh, Uh
