Tracy Awino/Bleacher ReportToday, Pop Smoke’s estate has dropped the official music video for his single “Mood Swings” from Pop’s posthumous debut album, Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon.
The video features fellow New York rapper Lil Tjay, who’s featured on the song, and his girlfriend Lalaas they go through their relationship issues after a fight. The video opens with Lala complaining to her friend in the car about Tjay, who then sends her a text to make everything all better.
“Take me back,” Lala instructs her friend, requesting to go back to his mansion.
This video starring Lil Tjay follows the song’s visualizer, which was released a few weeks ago, starring socialite Jordyn Woods.
With one EP and two platinum plaques for his singles “Leaked” and “Brothers,” Tjay signed with Columbia Records in 2018. He went on a year later to release his now certified-platinum debut album, True 2 Myself, and was inducted into XXL’s Freshman Class of 2020.
Pop Smoke, born Bashar Barakah Jackson, was fatally shot and killed during a home invasion in Los Angeles in February. His final release before his death was his Meet the Woo Vol. 2 mixtape, which was proceeded by his debut album in July.
The 20-year-old rapper was a leading figure in Brooklyn’s drill music scene with breakout singles like “Welcome To The Party” and “Dior,” from his debut Meet the Woo mixtape.
