Chicago rapper Polo G is adamant about showing he’s not merely a rapper and is multidimensional in every sense.

As HipHopDX reported, the rapper illustrated his penchant for artist development by recently introducing one of his artists, CNN Mikey, following the 2020 launch of his ODA (Only Dreamers Achieve) record label.

During an interview with Los Angeles radio station Real 92.3, Polo G and his Toledo, Ohio-bred signee unpacked how they came together through an unlikely meeting at an airport.

Based on Polo G’s recollection, he and his younger brother, fellow rapper Trench Baby, were at Los Angeles International Airport when the young artist approached him, according to HipHopDX.

“My lil bro was basically just like, ‘Nah, we ain’t on that right now.’ But I’m like,’ Nah, let me hear him out,'” Polo G said. “I listened to the music; I felt like s**t was hard,” he continued.

On Wednesday, CNN Mikey released his debut single, “For My People,” alongside an accompanying music video.

According to the synopsis, the track “is a glimpse into Mikey’s world growing up in South Toledo navigating poverty, his environment and the consistent fears that came with both his parents fighting their respective battles with drug addiction.”
