Rap star A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie is appointing himself more than your favorite Big Apple rapper. This past weekend, he went to social media to crown himself the King of New York and said he would have shared the title with Pop. Heading into Monday, A Boogie took to Instagram to let followers know if Pop Smoke was still alive he’d also have the crown. Boogs also used the opportunity to plug Smoke’s new Shoot for the Stars Aim for the Moon deluxe album.
Wait, There’s More
A deluxe version of Pop’s posthumous album Shoot For The Stars Aim For The Moon dropped on Monday. The must-hear release features 15 new tracks.
The new deluxe edition features the song “Paranoia;” it features Gunna and Young Thug, but not Pusha-T.

Other contributors include Burna Boy, Jamie Foxx, Fivio Foreign, Davido, PnB Rock, Queen Naija, BloodPop, and A Boogie Wit da Hoodie. (Pitchfork)
