    Sounding more like its European/British predecessor (danceable, quasi-electronic) than its more guttural Midwestern/Chicago cousin (as first made famous by Chief Keef), Pop Smoke’s raw growling was jarring and hard against these bouncy beats but surprisingly, it’s also wildly effective. In typical drill fashion, Pop Smoke does best when he’s paired with UK producers.

    Though the tone of Pop Smoke's voice is already enough to set him apart from other artists coming out of New York, there's energy felt in his music that keeps you engaged. We'll have Meet the Woo 2 to remember that energy forever.

    Meet the Woo 2, provides more gritty drill music you can clench your jaw to. It all sort of sounds like “Party,” but it gets over on sheer maximalism like its predecessor did, with just enough deft touches to keep things exciting.

    As for meaningful depth to his bars, humorous “press rewind” punchlines or emotionally resonant stories, I regretfully must honestly say he didn’t grab me in any of these categories. As a lyricist he was “just there” — not terrible, not brilliant, just okay. Does he show future potential on “Meet the Woo Vol. 2“? Yes. Absolutely.

    ‘Meet The Woo 2’ does feature some slightly lacklustre – take the disappointing ‘Foreigner’, featuring fellow New York rapper A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie. A Boogie’s sloppy delivery might have been scraped entirely from the mixtape. Yet Pop Smoke’s latest is one for the mosh-pitting party goers. He definitely proves that – in his own words – “you can’t say pop and forget the smoke”.

    Pop Smoke was such an amazing artist, and this album proves the potential he had.

    This may be the worst album I have ever heard. Legitimately awful all around.

    Pop Smoke is possibly one of the worst rappers to come out in the last 5 years. His voice is grating and obnoxious, his flow and beatPop Smoke is possibly one of the worst rappers to come out in the last 5 years. His voice is grating and obnoxious, his flow and beat selection is almost the same on the whole project, and he's basically doing a bad job of ripping off UK Grime and Drill. His lack of sonic diversity and versatility is reminiscent of DaBaby, minus the charisma and most of the technical rap skill.… Expand
