Pop Smoke’s New Song ‘AP’ Released Ahead of Posthumous Film Debut
A new track from the late Brooklyn rapper Pop Smoke, titled AP, just dropped ahead of his posthumous film debut in Eddie Huang’s Boogie.
The track is featured in the Eddie Huang-directed film, Boogie, and it will appear on the upcoming soundtrack.
Boogie also marks Pop Smoke’s posthumous acting debut. He portrays Monk, one of the basketball rivals of the titular character who aspires to play in the NBA in the coming-of-age film. Boogie arrives in theatres on March 5th.
The lyric video for AP showcases footage from the movie featuring the rapper as well as behind-the-scenes photos. “AP, Spicy/I bust a check in my Nikes,” Pop Smoke raps on the hook. “Am I a killa? Might be/Two-tone, icy.”
Pop Smoke’s posthumous debut album, 2020’s Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon; got the Number One spot on Rolling Stone‘s Top 200 Albums chart. It was one of the biggest albums last year.
Pop Smoke’s posthumous album came out that summer, followed by a deluxe edition; which features Young Thug, Gunna, Burna Boy, Jamie Foxx, and more.
Boogie was filmed prior to Pop Smoke’s death in February 2020. The 20-year-old was shot and killed in a home invasion while staying at a rental in Los Angeles. The LAPD has since charged four suspects with his murder.
The final week of Black History Month has been full of gifts, like New York rapper Bobby Shmurda coming home this week after serving over six years in prison.
