Rapper PopSmoke was special, and the world was just beginning to realize it
And Pop Smoke happened to pair his voice with a growing strain of hip-hop that complemented everything about his approach. A Brooklyn-based variation on Chicago drill music, which also contains pieces of U.K. rap and grime, informed the sound of bothprojects, with crater-deep bass, airless percussion and production details that swirl around chaotically before locking into place.
Just 14 months after laying down his first song, Pop Smoke was bringing Brooklyn drill to mainstream hip-hop listeners, and working with the genre’s elite. his collaboration with Travis Scott , became Pop Smoke’s first Hot 100 entry, with the album topping the Billboard 200 chart. The menacing Quavo team-up “Shake the Room” sounded like it could bring the rapper to an even wider audience as the centerpiece of. A tour was scheduled to kick off on March 2, with multiple dates sold out. Pop Smoke was primed to be one of the breakout hip-hop artists of 2020, making the reality of his death even more sick and senseless.
With the shooting death of Nipsey Hussle less than a year ago -- and the passings of Juice WRLD, Mac Miller, XXXTentacion and Jimmy Wopo all in the past two years -- the hip-hop world has experienced untimely ends far too often. At just 20 years old, Pop Smoke had established himself as a special talent, and the greater music community was just beginning to see that talent unlocked. Heartbreakingly, he is now part of that gone-too-soon list.
