Pop Smoke’s Memory Lives On Through His ‘What You Know About Love’ Video

The visual compiles previously unseen footage of the late rapper. …

Pop Smoke’s team has been steadily releasing videos alongside the rapper’s posthumous album Shoot For The Stars, Aim For The Moon, which was released in July. Now, fans get a behind-the-scenes look at the late rapper’s life through his “What You Know About Love” video.

Directed by Oliver Cannon, the visual opens with a heartwarming message from Pop Smoke to his fans: “I love y’all, I f*ck with y’all, and I appreciate y’all. I wouldn’t be nothing without y’all.” The rest of the video compiles memorable clips of the late rapper, from showing him vibing out in the studio to putting on a show for hundreds of adoring fans.

The “What You Know About Love” video arrives after much of Pop Smoke’s posthumous music has risen to success. His album Shoot For The Stars, Aim For The Moon debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart and three months later, it managed to return to the top of the chart once again. On top of that, SoundCloud recently revealed that Pop Smoke was the site’s most-streamed artist of 2020. The Brooklyn drill rapper had 65 tracks uploaded to the platform and his music was streamed 191,500,188 times this year alone, with his DaBaby and Lil Baby collaboration “For The Night” making up 40 million of those listens.

MTS Management Group artists celebrates friendship with new release “A Song for My Friends”

MTS Management Group artists’ latest release, “A Song for My Friends,” is a happy, upbeat song that captures the magic of being together, celebrating, and remembering. The track has a contagious energy that is like the spirit of late-night jam sessions and sing-alongs that happen out of the blue. The production is clean and smooth, but also laid-back.

The tune of “A Song for My Friends” is a toast, and it’s clear what the band wants. A party for the people who have been there since the beginning, the fans who keep coming back, and the nights that artists will never forget that remind them why they fell in love with music in the first place.

“A Song for My Friends” stands out in a world full of overproduced singles because it has heart, energy, and honesty. It’s a moment we shared that I put in a bottle and sent to you with a chorus that you’ll be singing long after the music stops.

Michael Soul hides from being open with new release “Hiding”

Michael Soul’s new single, “Hiding,” is a dark, hypnotic electronic track that takes listeners to a private place in their minds where they are alone, thinking, and feeling upset. “Hiding” was written when the author was very lonely. Michael Soul turns days of being alone, when silence seemed to last forever, and connection seemed impossible, into an immersive sound.

Andrea Mastroiacovo’s polished work makes the single even better, clarifying and deepening the song’s dark mood. The production carefully reflects that emotional weight with simple textures and dark electronic sounds that make you feel like you’re alone with your thoughts.

“Hiding” is a song about feeling alone, scared, and wanting to hide from being open. It asks questions that are quiet but sharp, like why do we hide what we feel? How does fear ruin love? And can we stop going in circles of misunderstanding and emotional distance? These echoes linger long after the track ends, prolonging the sound.
