The death of Pop Smoke is among the many tragedies of 2020. He was only beginning to bubble and was shot dead just days after the release of his debut album. He was leading the Brooklyn drill wave to international grounds, though his peers and comrades have carried his legacy. Among them is Rah Swish, a fellow Brooklyn native who was close with Pop Smoke. Earlier this year, he dropped off the single, "Woo Forever" in homage to Pop and now, it's finally hit streaming services.
"Music has always been a powerful tool for our people, dating back to the negro spirituals, to get over a lost loved one," he wrote on a note on IG. "Friday, 'Woo Forever' will be released on all platforms, as it has been in the system schedule for a while, not sure if it helps, maybe it will for one person, and if it does, then I am glad. It will be Woo forever, as it is more important that WE as Black people will be here forever."

Quotable Lyrics
Look, look, lost Pop and the pain hurt (
Tryna stay focused, I drink on this liquor and take Percs
Two steppin', I hit it first, we don't do seconds
