"'Shoot It Off' doesn't attempt to reinvent Polo G's formula - and that may be its strength. The track opens with an eerie, slightly triumphant trap instrumental that sets the tone for his narrative-driven bars. His delivery is sharp and measured, the cadence quintessentially Chicago, and his rhyme schemes weave together stories of survival, close calls, and the daily realities of life in his city."
"Polo G has always been at his best when he allows listeners to sit with his perspective, and 'Shoot It Off' continues that tradition. His bars carry the kind of weight that comes from experience, with lines about dodging cases and overcoming setbacks landing harder in the context of his recent history. His flow alternates between tight, deliberate phrasing and moments where he lets syllables stretch, riding the beat's tension with ease."
Polo G spent recent years navigating legal challenges that slowed his momentum, and 2025 marks a quieter but meaningful period of rebuilding. 'Shoot It Off' serves as a statement of resilience rooted in street experience, carrying his signature narrative-driven trap sound. The instrumental opens with eerie, slightly triumphant melodies over a skeletal trap framework that allows focused, measured delivery. His cadence remains quintessentially Chicago, with rhyme schemes about survival, close calls, court dates, and overcoming setbacks. The production's menace-and-resolve duality mirrors a readiness to prove himself, making the music feel lived-in rather than performative.
