From the young stars to the Old-Timers, the Pop Smoke Day Basketball Tournament brought generations together on one court! 🏀💫

The competition was real, but the day was bigger than basketball. It was about community, mentorship, fellowship and giving everyone a place to play, connect and represent the Floss.

Thank you to Head Coach Craig Craig Taylor and Assistant Coach Vilmar Vilmar ModelMar for leading our players, and a special shoutout to Obasi FR33 M👁ND (333) and DJ AK Dj AK for keeping the tournament moving and the energy high!

On this day in 2019, Meet the Woo V1 arrived and the sound of Brooklyn changed forever.

With just 11 tracks, Pop introduced the world to a voice, a presence, and an energy that couldn’t be ignored. What started as a debut mixtape became the foundation of a movement, launching classics like Welcome to the Party, Dior, and PTSD while helping bring Brooklyn drill to the global stage. It became Pop’s first entry on the Billboard 200 and continues to inspire fans around the world years later.

For us, this project is more than music. It’s a reminder of a young man from Canarsie who believed there was no limit to where a dream could take you.

Long Live Pop. 🕊️💫
