As Polo G prepares to release Hood Poet, his first new album since 2021, the Chicago hip-hop artist takes one last look in the rearview with its first single, “Sorrys & Ferraris.” While he reflects on when he “used to chase a bag on that curb,” he celebrates the fact that his “life is like a party now.”
In the song, Polo G shouts out Eminem with the following lines: “Gangster, I’m the synonym, pistol spit like Eminem, I be with some steppers, yeah, if I don’t step, I’m sendin’ them.”
Although Hood Poet was initially scheduled for a September release last year, Polo held off on dropping the album. “I’mma be postponing my album drop ’til further notice,” he explained in a message to fans on social media. “Just getting back on track from a minor setback… it’ll be worth the wait. I promise.”
Polo G and Eminem have previously collaborated on gold certified single “Last One Standing,” the official theme song to the 2021 Columbia Pictures movie, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, by Skylar Grey, which also features Mozzy. It debuted at number 78 on the US Billboard Hot 100, making it Skylar Grey’s first entry on the chart as a lead artist and Mozzy’s first overall entry on the chart.
“Last One Standing,” a song by Skylar Grey, featuring Polo G, Mozzy, and Eminem is now certified Gold by RIAA in the United States, meaning the single has now sold more than 500,000 units in the country.
The DJ Frank E and Danny Majic produced song was made for the 2021 movie Venom: Let There Be Carnage. The song was released on September 30, 2021, the day before the release of the film. The track debuted at No. 78 on the US Billboard Hot 100 charts, making it Skylar Grey’s first entry on the chart as a lead artist and Mozzy’s first overall entry on the chart.
Skylar Grey celebrated her achievement on Twitter. “This is a first for me! Through all my years in this game and all the gold and platinum records I’ve been a part of, this is the first time MY NAME’S AT THE TOP,” she writes. “And did this s–t as an INDIE artist! Thank you to Mozzy, Polo G and Eminem.”
Then she continues: “Thanks to the FANS for streaming sharing downloading listening!!!!! Could not have achieved this without each and every one of you…. So grateful so blessed.”

Couple of years ago, Skylar Grey talked about how the song came together: “The hook of ‘Last One Standing’ I had like five years. When I write a lot of songs sometimes they don’t find a home and they just sit in a Dropbox folder for years. This is one of those situations but it was just a hook and a track and when we find out Sony Pictures wanted to use it for Venom we decided to put some rappers on it. Polo G and Mozzy where first rappers we got on it. And I have a history of working with Eminem. He did the first Venom movie titled song. So I was like it would make sense to have him on this too because it would pay homage to the original so I hit him up and he agreed to get on it so here we are.”
“I used to say ‘oh I do not get star-struck’ but I was just traying to be too cool. I still get star-struck working with Eminem. I listened to him since I was a kid and I can not believe he has been so supportive. We have done over a dozen songs together and whether he knows it or not he is like my mentor but it is just weird and yeah I am still star-struck by that.” – says Skylar.
During the recent interview with Numéro Netherlands, Skylar revealed that she is re-recorded greatest hits album will probably include Last One Standing, among other big hits like “Love The Way You Lie” and “I Need A Doctor.”
This might be the first RIAA certification for Grey as a lead singer but she has numerous platinum certifications, including double platinum “I Need A Doctor” with Eminem and Dr. Dre and platinum “Glorious” with Macklemore.

I f**k with Eminem.” said Foolio, who is referred as one of the most disrespectful rappers today in hip hop because of his notorious beefs with Kodak Black and NBA Youngboy.
Elsewhere in the interview, Jacksonville rapper talked about some of the trauma in his life coming up while trying to rap. He talks about how he was shot while getting off the bus because he was beefing with someone else who was killed the same day.
