Pop Smoke’s self-titled album was released last night, his second posthumous project following Shoot For The Stars, Aim For The Moon. Like its predecessor, Pop Smoke is replete with guest appearances, perhaps through necessity given the limited supply of material from the late superstar. And while some collaborations might feel disingenuous to some, it also highlights how universally respected Pop truly was.

“Mr. Jones,” not to be confused with the Counting Crows classic of the same name, features a guest appearance from Future, who also contributed to Shoot For The Stars. This time, the pair take to a hypnotic instrumental cooked up by JW Lucas, CashMoneyAP, Foreign Teck & LosTheProducer. The mysterious beat adds an alluring layer of mystique; not menacing, but vaguely melancholic. Both rappers know exactly how to plan their approach, with Pop and Future alike delivering laid-back but fluid reflections on high-life hedonism. 

Despite being relatively low-key, “Mr. Jones” is an easy standout for those looking to kick back and catch a vibe. Pop Smoke and Future sound like kindred spirits on wax, sharing interests as well as cadential similarities, and it’s too bad they’re not able to further explore original material. Celebrate the late Pop Smoke by giving “Mr. Jones” a spin.

QUOTABLE LYRICS

Smokin’ out a pound, drink out the bottle
Mermaid, pussy taste like some water
Jimmy Choos shoes, Manolo Blahniks
Copped the new jewels just for the fun of it

Pop Smoke’s second posthumous album has officially arrived, titled Faith. The album gives an in-depth look into Pop’s superstar-making process near the end of his life. Making his tragic demise no secret to the listener, Faith serves as a memorial project to Pop, filling in the blank spots he left behind on his demos with features from some of the music industry’s biggest names, including Kanye West and Pusha-T.

The album is sequenced very well, allowing each song to flow into the next almost seamlessly. By the time Kanye West begins blurting out random words at the beginning of “Tell The Vision,” the legendary musician introduces a raucous vibe before it slows down with Angie Martinez remembering the late Brooklyn drill star. Pop spits his catchy hook and verse before Pusha-T comes in, prematurely handing AOTY honors to Tyler, The Creator before claiming that Pop Smoke is about to swoop up that title posthumously. He also says that after Faith, he’s about to drop his own album, so we can all be on the lookout for a Pusha-T album in the coming weeks.

As bittersweet as it is to listen to new Pop Smoke music, his team did a great job in putting together this body of work. Check out Faith here and listen to “Tell The Vision” below.

Quotable Lyrics:

Look, Tyler got the album of the year, for now
But Pop about to drop, I see the platinum in the clouds
Now Push about to drop, so real trappers stick around
The crown is only for the king, they tryna place it on a clown

Fresh on the heels of her XXL Freshman cypher with Pooh Shiesty, Flo Milli, and 42 Dugg, Rubi Rose returns with a new single. Two weeks ago, Rose delivered her shake-it-fast single “Twork,” and she’s followed that up with her Friday (July 16) release, “Poke.” The rapper switched up her style for the cover art as she debuted a 1980s Punk Rock-inspired look complete with hot-pink-tipped liberty spikes, and after previewing the track over on Instagram, she added in the caption that she was applying pressure.

“Keeping my foot on y’all’s necks,” she wrote before urging her followers to stream her latest single. It’s unclear if we’ll soon be receiving a new project from Rose, but this current stream of releases may just be support for her XXL Freshman class inclusion. Stream “Poke” and let us know what you think of Rubi Rose’s latest.

Quotable Lyrics

Fake hoes stay mad at this (B*tch)
Throw it back, can’t handle it (Ooh)
Your n*gga can’t manage this (F*ck him)
Cute face on a savage b*tch (Savage)
I can’t do average sh*t (Uh-uh)
New Millie, pad the wrist (Ice)
New Porsche go fast as sh*t (Skrrt)
Got checks, ain’t cash thеm sh*ts (Damn)

We’ll soon receive a new album from Trippie Redd and he’s back with another single that is slated to appear on the record. Since 2017, we’ve received a project from Trippie Redd every year, if not more: A Love Letter to You,  Life’s A Trip, A Love Letter To You 4, and Pegasus. We’ll soon receive Trip At Knight, and following his Playboi Carti-assisted single “Miss The Rage” that Trippie shared back in May, the Ohio rapper returns with “Holy Smokes” featuring Lil Uzi Vert.

Trippie hasn’t been silent regarding his admiration of Uzi, and in February when he sat down with Flaunt magazine, he spoke about being inspired by his friend. “I look at him as one of the OG young guys, I really admire what he does for the culture,” said Trippie. “I really pay attention to what he does.”

“Holy Smokes” has a Pop-inspired appeal that may transcend fanbases, so stream the single and let us know what you think.

Throwin’ money up like I’m nauseous
Baby girl, I’m exhausted
Baby, be cautious
Know the streets be talkin’
Every day walk with a check and I’m motherf*ckin’ talkin’
Every day making money every way, hang with them bosses
