Last year, the untimely death of Pop Smoke was commemorated with the release of his posthumous album, Shoot For The Stars, Aim For The Moon. The album became an immediate commercial success, spawning several hit singles that remain in rotation today. However, fans have continuously inquired whether we'd be getting another posthumous album anytime soon.
