The Chicago Bulls are winning these days and so is homegrown rap heavyweight Polo G. The hip-hop star channels his inner Michael Jackson with his new “Bad Man (Smooth Criminal)” single and music video.

Polo G pays respect to Michael Jackson with ‘Bad Man’

G goes all the way back to the late 80’s with his “Smooth Criminal”-sampled banger. The song and music video takes elements from the late pop icon’s classic and turns it into a gritty smash.

Multi-platinum hitmaker Polo G has released his highly anticipated new single “Bad Man (Smooth Criminal)” today via Columbia Records. The track is a modern take on the Michael Jackson classic hit. The Arrad-directed music video follows Polo through a series of high stakes hands in a casino battle royale.

Polo made sure to issue a statement to the family, friends and fans around the world of Michael Jackson and his estate.

We are truly grateful for all your support in the release of this song and music and video. MJ is loved all around the world. We used this opportunity to represent this song for the future. We thank you sincerely and we hope we have contributed our small part to the everlasting memory and legend of the greatest entertainer of all time. THANK YOU. - POLO G
