The Brooklyn rapper, who was murdered during a home invasion in February, is having his debut album release posthumously with the help of 50 Cent.
The rapper's manager Steven Victor posted artwork on Instagram Thursday along with the news that the project's release date is set for June 12.
Pop Smoke only stepped onto the scene last year, capturing the hearts of New Yorkers with his innovative Brooklyn drill track "Welcome to the Party," which got an official remix featuring Nicki Minaj., the latter of which was released the same month Pop Smoke was murdered during a home invasion in Los Angeles. He was only 20 years old when he died.
Prior to today's announcement regarding the release date for the as-yet-untitled debut album, Victor and Pop Smoke's family issued a statement: "The public show of support and grief, by everyone touched by Pop during his lifetime, has provided some semblance of comfort during these difficult times for his family, friends, and colleagues.
