Vado And Young Dro, "Polo"
I’ve been paying attention to the Harlem rapper Vado lately. He’s a protege of Dipset’s gifted and flamboyant and ridiculous Cam’ron, and he’s delivered some good verses this year. His name is also very close to that of the Cincinnati Reds’ first baseman Joey Votto, who will likely win the National League’s MVP award. So I often find myself saying his name in my head the way he does-”Vaahdo”-when I’m watching baseball. This is a new song from his debut album, which comes out in two weeks. It features the Atlanta rapper Young Dro, who could have made an appearance in Lisa Birnbach’s new book. Dro’s upcoming album is called P.O.L.O.: Players Only Live Once. Pretty cool. But not nearly as cool as the name of Vado’s album, Slime Flu.
All this said, if these new guys think they wear more Polo than anyone else, they’re wrong. It’s a well established fact, and has been since 1998, that no one but no one wears more Polo shit than Trick Daddy.
