Pop smoke;
Bashar Barakah Jackson, popularly known as Pop smoke is an American rapper and songwriter. I never really knew about him until this year and I was not even aware that he had passed away!
One of his songs was used as a popular theme song on Tik tok, which was Door. Dior slapped different and I really liked his voice on the song so I spoke to a friend of mine about him and he introduced me to him, sent me two of his songs that I fell in love with. He has a unique voice, which makes his songs or rather sound different from others, though he still has a trap vibe but his voice is quite distinctive on a song, just like Quavo.
So I did some research on him and got more information on him, he was signed under Victor Victor worldwide and Republic Records. The American rapper was born on July 20 1999 and he died February 19th 2020, he died at a really young age. Pop smoke broke into limelight with the lead single on his debut mixtape, welcome to the party in 2019, on which he featured Nicki Minaj and skepta.
Pop smoke was shot twice during an home invasion by 4 robbers in his home in Hollywood gills California. The album he recorded before his early demise is scheduled to drop in the 3rd of July 2020 titled, shoot for the stars, aim for the moon. He has just two mixtapes to his name, meet the woo which was released in 2019 and meet the woo 2 which was released in 2020.
If you’ve not heard of pop smoke, I recommend you listen to Gatti on which he featured jackboys and Travis Scott and shake the room on which he featured Quavo.
