The first song from the forthcoming project, \u201cMake It Rain,\u201d links the late rapper with jailed GS9 rapper Rowdy Rebel. Posthumous releases often bring diminishing returns, but here Pop Smoke retains the intensity that made him great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What really separated Pop Smoke from other local drill rappers is that thundering voice; its thick husk still feels coarse, severe, and unavoidable. The pounding Yamaica production quakes beneath him, as all the most menacing drill beats do, but his rhymes cut through commotion. He raps like he\u2019s unstoppable, and he sounds like it too. \u201cLook, ain\u2019t no apology\/These n*s doubted me\/I keep a pole tucked\/Run up, catch a cold cut\/Put his head on his shoulder,\u201d he growls. \u201cDior\u201d is fit for protest because it is animated by exultation even under the threat of violence, and \u201cMake It Rain\u201d is similarly exhilarating. Pop Smoke\u2019s best songs are supercharged, and the defiant, uncaged Rowdy verse only furthers this sensation. In the throes of his unrelenting rabble-rouser raps, Pop Smoke\u2019s power seems eternal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dior god does it again.
