Pop Smoke’s Posthumous Album Delayed Until July

Originally set for release this week, the posthumous Pop smoke album has been pushed back until July.

The highly-anticipated album has been teased over the last couple of months by rapper and executive producer of the project, 50 Cent, and stated that it would drop 12th June.

Unfortunately, Universal executive, Steven Victor, shared a post on Instagram confirming that the project will be delayed due to recent events and out of respect for the current movement.

However, the first single from the project “Make it Rain” will be released on Friday and the album is now set for release 3rd July.
