New Pop Smoke mural goes viral for being unrecognizable

People from all over are paying respects to fallen music stars through various ways. One of the most popular forms is through paintings and murals. The latest mural art is dedicated to rapper Pop Smoke and is going viral for its unusual appearance. Images of the new mural surfaced online last week, with fans quickly sharing their disappointment with the final result.

Pop Smoke continues to leave his mark on music and the entertainment culture. Although a short run in music, his Brooklyn drill sound raised the bar for rap and hip-hop. Signing with Victor Victor Worldwide and Republic Records in 2019, his first and second mixtapes hit billboard status. The single “Dior” sold over 3 million copies, followed by a 3x platinum certification. Other singles like “For The Night” and “The Woo” also reached platinum status.

Pop Smoke lost his life in a tragic incident of gun violence in 2020. Earlier this month a man pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter for his passing. Despite his absence, his impact on hip-hop and music is undeniable. Although the location of the mural is unclear, fans didn’t hesitate to voice their disappointment.
