Pollo Papi steps into his R&B bag with his new single, Holdin’ On. He delivers soulful, southern vocals paired with the smooth lyrical delivery fans have grown to know and love. Holdin’ On tells the relatable story of two lovers existing in a world where real love is becoming more and more scarce. A question of enduring to build something everlasting, or drifting towards something fleeting. Narrated by a former player with a desire to build something real, this track is a testament to Pollo Papi’s pen and the depths of his ability to express himself. (Prod. by DJ Chopp-A-Lot)

Pollo Papi let’s the sauce overflow in Tha Phonk, a southern fried and Ball and G inspired jam sharing his experiences in the chicken business. The style might be free, but the sauce and the seasoning is sold separately. Turn the bass up, let the seat back, and bend a corner to some classic Pollo Papi vibes. May Tha Phonk be with you.

One of Pollo Papi’s earliest works. Nino Lavert takes us back in time to his initial journey self-recording over Simmy Auto production. We arrive in 2020 as Pollo Papi is just beginning the process of creating the songs and tracklist that would become his debut project, Thank Twice. This track shows just how much of a perfect match Pollo and SimmyAuto are as their works comes together effortlessly creating what feels like southern Jazz. Nino Lavert set the tone for the remaining Thank Twice tracks, as he gained his bearings in his makeshift home studio. Enjoy the raw vibes. May the Phonk be with you.

Pollo Papi returns with his first penstrumental drop in years. Ask him why..  “Because I felt like it.” An answer delivered with a casual shrug. “I just had fun with this one.” He usually comes with his own scheme, but the humor in and idgaf is apparent with this one. After weeks away from the crib, road runnin, Pollo is back feelin motivated. *Meep Meep mf.
