Pop Smoke’s debut studio album ‘Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon’ was posthumously released in July 2020 and featured the likes of Quavo, DaBaby and Future.
A new video has been shared for Pop Smoke‘s track ‘What You Know Bout Love’, taken from his debut studio album Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon.
The Oliver Cannon-directed visual features never-before-seen footage of the late Brooklyn rap star, who was killed back in February at the age of 20.
The American drill artist was shot during a home invasion at his house in Hollywood Hills.
The ‘What You Know Bout Love’ video features footage of Pop Smoke recording the track itself, as well as video of him out and about in London and around the world while on tour.
It opens with a video of Smoke giving thanks to his fans and talking about how much he appreciates them, and clips from his and his fans’ TikTok accounts are weaved into the music video. An important message from the artist closes out the visual: “I don’t know who needs to hear this bro, but don’t let nobody ever tell you you can’t do nothing…Whatever you wanna do, just fucking do it. Don’t look back.”
