Child Versions Of Pop Smoke & Quavo Star In “Aim For The Moon”
Pop Smoke’s posthumous debut album Shoot For The Stars, Aim For The Moon has been one of the best-selling albums of the year, returning to #1 on the Billboard 200 three months after its release. Though Pop may no longer be with us, his fans have been celebrating the late Brooklyn artist through his music all year, looking forward to every single thing that his estate drops.
Two weeks ago, Steven Victor and Pop’s team released the video for “Diana” with King Combs and Calboy. Today, they’re coming through with yet another music video, releasing “Aim For The Moon” with Quavo.
The song is a favorite from the album, kicking things off following the introduction and getting us ready for a masterpiece of an album. For the video, a child actor portrays Pop Smoke, wearing his signature shades, a blue durag, and more. The little boy lives inside a gigantic mansion, being served a silver platter of hamburgers, obviously packaged with a blue wrap. The child version of Quavo, also wearing his iced-out frames, joins him at the estate, pulling up in a “WOOOOO” license plated-Rolls Royce. The two enjoy the day, counting money and going for a joyride together.
Watch the new music video above for “Aim For The Moon”. Rest in peace to Pop Smoke.

E.G. Phillips unveils where silence speaks the loudest on new release “Empathy for the Night Fly”
The mood of E.G. PHILLIPS’s “Empathy for the Night Fly” is instantly cinematic, dark, introspective, and frozen in time. The track sounds like a scene from a late-night club where everything slows down just enough for feelings to come out. The arrangement is jazz-like in that it lets each part breathe. The arpeggiating Rhodes piano comes and goes, giving the impression that the music is thinking, as if it’s moving.
The song is really about recognition, which is when you hear something in someone else’s voice that reminds you of your own experience. It’s subtle, almost fragile, but it has a big effect on people. That emotional connection is what holds the piece together.
That choice seems deliberate, even defiant. It asks the listener to pay attention differently, not just passively. Every break is a part of the story. E.G. Phillips doesn’t just make the mood; he keeps it going. In that space, “Empathy for the Night Fly” becomes a quiet, powerful look at memory, connection, and shared feelings.

Firecamino maintains folk storytelling with new release “Juan The Baptist”
“Juan the Baptist” is a stunning single by Firecamino, blending vivid storytelling with charming melody. The laid-back indie song with folk and country influences sounds like an ancient story told around a campfire after a long night.
The song’s central character is a misguided hero, vulnerable and human. Firecamino emphasizes imperfection over perfection, creating a relatable protagonist. That storytelling gives the song a cinematic, intimate feel.
“Juan the Baptist” handles several musical influences well. Folk-inspired writing and country textures add emotion and familiarity. Meanwhile, the cool indie vibe smooths the edges and lets the track flow naturally without being dramatic.
