New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Today, Pop Smoke's label, Victor Victor Worldwide shares a music video for his hit "Mood Swings." Featuring Lil Tjay, "
Mood Swings" is one of the standout tracks from Pop's posthumous debut album, Shoot For The Stars Aim For The Moon and has become a massive standalone success in its own right garnering over 126M Global Streams, over 1.7M TikTok videos and recently hitting #17 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart as well. The newly released video for "
Mood Swings" arrives as the track continues to rapidly rise through the charts, stars Dylan and Dakota Gonzalez and Jordyn Woods and is a pitch perfect homage to the legendary hip hop music videos of the late 90's and early 2000's.
The deluxe version of Pop Smoke's posthumous debut album, Shoot For The Stars Aim For The Moon, was released earlier this summer via Victor Victor Worldwide (VVW)/Republic Records/Universal
Music to celebrate what would have been the late artist's 21st birthday. The deluxe album includes 14 new songs with features from Jamie Foxx, Young Thug, Gunna, Burna Boy, A
Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Davido,
Fivio Foreign and more.
Shoot For The Stars Aim For The Moon's deluxe version comes on the heels of Pop Smoke's Complex cover story where his collaborators came together to tell the story of how Shoot For The Stars Aim For The Moon was made. The deluxe version also arrives after the album topped the Billboard 200 Chart and after "
For The Night" debuted inside the top ten of the Hot 100 chart, the first
Pop Smoke song to do so. The album also topped the charts in Australia, Austria, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, and Switzerland and became the highest charting debut rap album from an international artist in the UK following 50 Cent's Get Rich or Die Tryin' released in 2003.
The album finds Pop's voice in concert with collaborators both old and new. Staying true to his intention to use his debut album to show the breadth of his artistry, fans will discover a
Pop Smoke that they had yet to see -- one that is singing, stepping outside of the Brooklyn drill sound that he helped bring to a global level and more, while also reuniting with familiar names like 808Melo, CashMoneyAP and Yamaica. It's an album that only begins to scratch the surface of a talent who had so much more to show the world.
The release follows breakout mixtapes Meet the Woo and Meet the Woo 2. Before his untimely passing,
Pop Smoke was on his way to becoming a mainstream hip-hop giant. Rolling Stone acknowledged that "his transformation from a relatively unknown artist to next-up took place in the span of just a few month." His presence caused a renewed energy in the birthplace of hip-hop, with Complex noting that he brought "a sense of excitement to New York rap that had been absent for years." The Brooklyn upstart was finishing his debut album at the time of his passing and his circle of closest collaborators have completed the album in order to release it this summer as
Pop Smoke had planned.
