“Young Man” by Tony Polanco, released on National Suicide Awareness Day, stands as a powerful ballad aimed at addressing the emotional turmoil many men face but often keep hidden. This track dives into the depths of pain, uncertainty, and the pressure to appear strong, drawing listeners into a world where vulnerability is not just an option—it’s a necessity. Blending the melodic introspection of Bone Thugs with the raw honesty of Rod Wave, Polanco’s lyrics connect with the listener on a deeper level, bringing to light the conversations that often go unsaid.

Hailing from South Central Los Angeles and Panama City, Panama, Tony Polanco is an artist who pulls from his diverse upbringing to create music that resonates across borders. His sound weaves elements of hip-hop and neo-soul, with echoes of legends like Nipsey Hussle and Bizzy Bone. With performances that span from Miami to Madrid, and even Riker’s Island Juvenile Detention, Polanco’s music is a testament to his reach and impact. “Young Man” adds another layer to his evolving catalog—one that’s as much about healing as it is about reflection.
