Polo G has spent the past few months dropping several music videos for his new project. Earlier this month, he and fellow Chi-Town rapper G Herbo teamed up in the music video for "Gangsta Graduation," which shows what happens when young boys are influenced by gun violence. After sharing visuals for "Move Wrong," "Shoot It Off," and "Quality Over Quantity," Polo G closed out his album rollout with the video for "Chances."

Polo G's "Gangsta Graduation" appears on iHeartRadio's Rap Rising playlist. The weekly round-up of fresh music also includes contributions from YoungBoy Never Broke Again, YFN Lucci and more.
