50 Cent Celebrates Pop Smoke’s BET Hip-Hop Award Win: “For His Mom”

When he undertook the large task of executive producing Pop Smoke’s posthumous album Shoot For The Stars, Aim For The Moon, which was also the rapper’s debut studio album, 50 Cent promised the late star that he would make the album so good that it would win awards

“He told his mom, he wanted to take her to a award show. So i’m gonna make sure his album gets her there,” said Fif about Pop Smoke in March. 

Last night, the prophecy was fulfilled and Pop won the award for Best New Hip Hop Artist, beating Jack Harlow, Flo Milli, Mulatto, NLE Choppa, and Rod Wave.

The award was much-deserved and, considering his album is among the top-selling projects of the entire year, it was somewhat of a no brainer. 

50 Cent has officially chimed in on the big win, saying: “Ok, he got one, for his mom. @roddyricch thank you for helping me with this. She want to Woo.”

Unfortunately, because of the pandemic, Pop’s mother was not there to accept the award. The hosts of the show accepted it on Pop’s behalf.

During the show, Quavo performed a tribute set to the late rapper, rapping a live rendition of “Aim For The Moon”, for which the official music video released this week.

Rest in peace to Pop Smoke.

“Support” is a meditation on what it feels like to work tirelessly for something you want, but not have the support you need to fully achieve it.

The song is not only about disappointment, but also a rallying cry of resilience in the face of adversity.

NNORDY steps into jazz fusion with latest release “Wrong Turn”

NNORDY

 

NNORDY’s latest release, “Wrong Turn” is a fully live jazz fusion album that showcases the limitless possibilities of instrumental storytelling with the remarkable chemistry between guitar, keyboards, bass, and drums. The song has no words but is an excellent story told through musicianship and sets the stage for listeners to embark on a rich jazz experience.

“Wrong Turn” shows the strength of live performance from the get-go. Each instrument feels alive and in conversation with the others, a dynamic dialogue that develops organically over the course of the piece. Without vocal guidance, each musical phrase is left to speak for itself, giving the listener the freedom to interpret the track in their own way.

The guitar and keyboards often lead, crafting complex melodic lines and textures that give the music direction and atmosphere. Meanwhile, the bass and drums lay down a solid rhythmic base, creating movement and momentum while still leaving a lot of room for exploration. NNORDY creates a track that both dedicated jazz fans and listeners looking for something adventurous and fresh will enjoy. “Wrong Turn” shows that instrumental music can be as expressive and compelling as vocal music.
