Pop Smoke's impact on hip-hop is extraordinary given his career lasted barely a year. He pioneered the Brooklyn drill sound, blending UK drill with New York street rap. His posthumous album Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon debuted at number one and set a record for the most simultaneous Hot 100 entries by a deceased solo artist, with all 19 tracks charting. He won six Billboard Music Awards in a single night, a testament to his posthumous dominance. The New York City Council declared July 20, 2021, as Pop Smoke Day in the city.
