Following billions of streams, countless multi-platinum hits, and several RIAA-certified Gold and Platinum albums, Lil Tjay is stepping into a new stage of his career as an independent artist. The “Pop Out” rapper just released “Way Out The Hood II” with friend and longtime collaborator Polo G. The new single is a follow-up to Tjay’s “Way Out The Hood” released in October with a new verse from Polo G and comes with an official music video.
The longtime friends have collaborated many times from 2019’s 8x Platinum collaboration “Pop Out” from Polo G’s Die A Legend project and 2021’s “Suicide” on Polo G’s Hall of Fame 2 album to 2021’s “Headshot” with Fivio Foreign on Tjay’s Destined 2 Win album, and more recently, 2023’s “Beat The Odds Pt 2” on Tjay’s album 222.
In October, Tjay brought out Polo G in front of 20,000 fans at his sold-out show at London’s The O2 Arena to kick off his 8-date ‘The Past 2 Present Tour’ in Europe, which took place on the fifth anniversary of his double platinum debut studio album, True 2 Myself, and continued to Amsterdam, Oslo, and Helsinki before taking over Brussels, Paris, Munich, and ending in Berlin.
Lil Tjay
Before becoming an internet sensation with streams in the multi-millions, Lil Tjay was just a kid from the Bronx with humble beginnings. His story is one of resilience and transformation. Growing up in an NYC neighborhood rife with gang culture, Lil Tjay faced a year of incarceration at a young age. However, upon his release, he channeled his energy into his musical aspirations, finding solace and purpose in the recording studio.
Lil Tjay burst onto the rap scene with a unique blend of swagger and lyrical prowess, quickly capturing the attention of millions. His debut album, “True 2 Myself,” features platinum-certified hits like “F.N.,” “Brothers,” “Leaked,” “Hold On,” “Ruthless,” “One Take,” and “GOAT.” His collaboration with 6LACK, “Calling My Phone,” debuted at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking his highest chart debut and career peak.
With over 15 billion global streams and accolades such as being featured in XXL’s Freshman Class of 2020 and Billboard’s 21 Under 21, Lil Tjay’s influence continues to grow.

This track is part of his previous album, “222,” which highlights his artistic evolution since his platinum-certified 2021 release, “Destined 2 Win.”
“222” not only pushed the boundaries of his musical vulnerability and skill but also resonated deeply with audiences globally. The album’s success was followed by his highly-anticipated “The Good Life Tour” in 2024, featuring special guests Kalan.FrFr and Dina Ayada.
