For the Love of New York

Polo G & Nicki Minaj

“For the Love of New York” finds Polo G teaming up with Trinidadian rapper Nicki Minaj to appear as the eighteenth track off Polo’s third studio album, Hall Of Fame. The song mainly encompasses dancehall and reggae feels while both artists rap about their crumbling relationships.

The first sighting of this song to confirm its presence was on June 3, when Polo G revealed his album’s tracklist via Twitter. Later the same day, the two artists were seen reciprocating love to each other and praising the song’s qualities just a couple hours after the formal announcement.

Though, despite the title of the song, Polo G is in fact not from New York, and instead hails from Chicago; however Nicki Minaj was raised and based in New York. As a result, this song is most likely a tribute and anthem to New York and ties into Nicki’s roots.
