Listen To Pop Smoke’s New Posthumous Single ‘AP’

A new song from late rapper Pop Smoke has been released.

“AP,” which appears in the upcoming film BOOGIE, dropped on Friday (February 26). As fans know, the film also stars Pop, who makes his posthumous acting debut in the movie.

Last month, Focus Features released the coming-of-age film's first full-length trailer, which finds Pop playing Monk, the basketball rival of the main character Alfred “Boogie” Chin, played by newcomer Taylor Takahashi.

BOOGIE was filmed prior to the late rapper’s death in February 2020. Months after his passing, BOOGIE director Eddie Huang (author of Fresh Off the Boat) spoke about working with Pop on the film.

“A lot of actors just don’t have the depth of emotion and experiences, but because of what Pop’s gone through, he has a tremendous well to draw from," he told The New York Times in June 2020. “He gave me a thousand percent. They were tough 16-hour days, overnights, and he shot five overnights in a row. Kids were coming on the bridge to watch us shoot the scenes. We would play Pop’s record. All our actors, the extras, the kids on the bridge watching us shoot scenes, everyone was doing the Woo dance. It was pretty special.”

Along with Taylor and Pop Smoke, BOOGIE stars Taylour Paige, Pamelyn Chee, Mike Moh, Jorge Lendeborg Jr., Alexa Mareka, and Perry Yung.

The film will be released on March 5th.
