This week brings some music that the people have been waiting for: a second posthumous release from a beloved Brooklyn drill rapper, a new project from a Louisiana rap veteran and a collaborative effort created by two California natives, one of which is a 2021
The saying goes, "You cannot say Pop and forget the Smoke," and this week, a second posthumous album from the undeniable talent with the signature raspy voice is being delivered by his team.
Faith, Pop Smoke's sophomore LP, which is also the second coming since his tragic murder on Feb. 19, 2020, has arrived. The fully loaded project has star-studded features including Kanye West, Pusha T, Rick Ross, The-Dream, 42 Dugg, 21 Savage, Takeoff, Future, Chris Brown, Dua Lipa, Pharrell, Quavo, Kid Cudi, Kodak Black and more. Fellow Brooklynites Bizzy Banks and Rah Swish as well as The Bronx's own Lil Tjay also appear. Although Pop Smoke has been gone in the physical for nearly a year-and-a-half, his memory lives on through his music.
