Another posthumous Pop Smoke album is coming out

One year after the release of ‘Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon’, Pop Smoke’s posthumous debut, his team have announced a second album set for release on July 16.

In a new trailer, unreleased footage of the late rapper is shown, as he speaks about his career:

“I always knew I was gonna be something good. I feel like it's coming back to New York. "When you keep winning, they can't stop you. The fake can never succeed at nothing. When you know what you want, don't let anybody get in between you and your creation. I ain't trying to just be cool, we gotta make history."
