Heyy yall Ace back with another one. Today I have Mississippi's own with me. I am excited to hear his story. Yall know the deal I got the drink and ice. Yall bring me the smokes.
Okay let's get to it. Tell the people who are you and where you from.
My name is Polo Baybee aka the Mississippi King of Twerk music & I’m from Jackson, Mississippi born & raised.
Thanks for sitting with us today, Polo Baybee. How did you get into the music scene?
Well, my mama said when I was a baby & wouldn’t stop crying, she put some headphones on my ear to stop me from crying so that was the start, but far as career wise, I got into it back in church at 9 years old, started rapping at 12 years old, & fully became Polo Baybee when I was 16 years old.
Wow, damn near all ya life. Would you make this a career?
Most definitely! Already have! Been at it for 8 years now.
What made you take it seriously?
What made me start taking music seriously was being told I wouldn’t make it back in middle & high school. I was always the underdog & thats ok because, I believed in me & knew I could make it.
If it’s one thing you could change in this industry, what would it be?
One thing I would change in the industry is the diversity meaning showing people that its ok to rap bout other things then just your “opps” “selling drugs” etc . Basically, bring back the fun in the industry after all that's how it started. Everybody wannabe these hardbody rappers that they forget about rappers like Kid n Play, Run DMC etc. who was having fun & making fun music.
Finally, someone said it. I believe it the same thing. Music is supposed to be fun now everybody so serious and always beefing. People like us can bring it back though. How is the music scene in Jackson, MS? Anything different compared to other places you’ve been or seen?
It could be better honestly… it’s all about popularity you know? The city has it's pick & chooses of who they want to push & be the face of the city or the one to “kick the door down” when we can all do it together.
Most definitely, as each city deals with that I believe. Who is your top artist right now?
I have 5, 1. Erica Banks 2. Beatking 3. Yatta Bandz 4. Bigg Bagg Queezy & 5. K Shiday
Okayyy, Erica Banks huh? I think you're the first person so tell me that honestly. Dope! Do you feel like music has changed your life? If so, how?
Music has changed my life in a lot of ways I never imagined back when I first started. Everybody knows me & music. I have met different big artists such as Bigg Bagg Queezy, Asian Doll, Finesse2Tymes & Beatking. Just last year, I had not 1 but 2 songs on Starz hit show P-Valley Season 2 episode 203 features my song FIUS featuring Djangobxtch one of the hardest female artists from my city & episode 208 features my viral single called Workout featuring another female artist from my city name Koko Kali, and just recently, my song from 2018 called Watch Me Do It got picked to be an upcoming movie coming to HBO called Fractured. I went from having shows with 10-20 people coming out to anytime I'm on a flyer its packed out. It's just a blessing to be doing all this & not even signed yet.
Wow that was your song on P-Valley? I love me some P-Valley! That's dope OhEmGeeeeee! So, tell me what do you do outside of the music scene?
Outside of music, I cook from time to time & work with the hottest twerk team in my city called PR DOUBLE T founded by my bro Steveo, my sis Miya & my bro Murk. PR Double T is a twerk team branched off of Murk’s OnlyThePacc which have now took over the city.
What would you tell your younger self?
Continue to pray & believe in yourself everything will pay off in the long run.
What's something people don’t know about you.
I am a big Batman & Dragon Ball Z fan.
You dropping anything soon?
Yes, I got a few upcoming projects & visuals on the way. Stay tuned for my upcoming single titled Holy Moly produced by my dawg DJ808Flav, my visual to my single Up Down featuring g OCB Steveo produced by my guy 1ne Way & more before the year is out!
