Travis Scott and Pop Smoke are no strangers to collaboration, considering the two linked up for “GATTI” off that JACKBOYS compilation. Following the tragic death of the buzzing Brooklyn rapper in the Hollywood Hills this morning, Scott took to social media to remember Pop and posted a preview of an unreleased record from him. Live for Instagram stories, La Flame was bumping the track while cruising the streets and reminiscing on his friend.

He wasn’t the only one to pay homage, though. Drake posted on IG as well, giving an inspirational message following the sad news today.
Smoke’s best friend Mike Dee who grew up with also posted on social media, saying that the rumors going around about him setting him up (Dee was seen on social media flashing cash in the driveway of the house Pop got killed at hours before the shooting) were false and that he doesn’t have to explain anything to anyone. That was his dawg, regardless.
Suspects for the murder are still at large and the Los Angeles Police Department are still looking for leads. According to reports, Pop posted his address on Instagram earlier this week, which could have tipped off robbers looking for a quick come up. Surveillance footage also shows intruders getting into the house minutes after doors were dead bolted. According to police, the alarm was not turned on, which made it easy for the robbers to get inside.
