This is the deluxe edition of Polo G’s trilogy-completing album, Hall of Fame. The first mention of it was in an early June 2021 Complex Interview, two days before the release of Hall of Fame, with talk around the tracks featured on it happening off-script.
Polo officially confirmed it with a July 2nd Instagram post, reacting to Hall of Fame’s gold certification:
The Big Leagues🙇🏾Deluxe Otw🔥#HallofFame2.0
While originally teased to drop in October, Polo finally confirmed the release date on social media to be December 3, 2021, as well as announcing the release of “Bad Man (Smooth Criminal)”.
Yes, Apple Music features animated artwork for this release.
It’s definitely a deluxe but I’m treating it like a separate project. It’s just me getting back to my root fanbase, the music that really got me here, you know. Not really trying to be as diverse I was with the initial project, just putting out some music I know my fans gon' enjoy.
