Aside from revealing a now-scrapped Virgil Abloh-designed cover for Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon, Steven Victor of the Victor Victor label recently shared the tracklist for Pop Smoke‘s upcoming posthumous album.
Comprised of 19-tracks in total, the project from the late rapper features 18 unreleased cuts with “Dior” serving as the final bonus addition to the list. Although Pop Smoke’s time in the industry was short, the rapper was able to work a number of notable artists. Standout features on Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon come from Future, DaBaby, Lil Baby, Quavo, Swae Lee, Roddy Ricch, 50 Cent, Tyga and Karol G. Victor also noted that vocals from Lil Tjay have just come in and are awaiting clearance to make its way on the album.

On Friday, the late rapper’s estate will release his posthumous debut Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon. Before its release, the star-studded tracklist has been revealed.
In addition to “Make It Rain” with Rowdy Rebel, the 19-track set includes appearances from Quavo, Lil Baby, DaBaby, Swae Lee, Future, Polo G, Tyga, Karol G, and King Combs. 50 Cent and Roddy Ricch guest on “The Woo,” for which they recently shot a video.
50 also serves as the album’s co-executive producer. “He would take the records that he really liked, R&B records, rewrite the lyrics, and then use that as a template for how he’s actually singing it, but he would do it with Auto-Tune,” 50 told The New York Times of Pop Smoke’s process.
Along with the tracklist, Pop’s manager Steven Victor revealed the cover art designed by Virgil Abloh. After being poorly received by fans, they decided to scrap it and come up with a new design. “It is our obligation to bring his vision to life he wanted Virgil to lead creative, we fulfilled his wishes however, unfortunately, he’s not here to give his final approval his fans, are,” said Victor. “You know why you love pop your voices are loud and clear he loved his fans and listened to his fans pop and we at Victor Victor heard you loud and clear.”
The album follows Pop’s EP Meet the Woo 2, which was released in early February. Less than two weeks later, he was shot and killed in a home invasion in Hollywood at the age of 20.

This Friday, fans will finally be able to listen to Pop Smoke's debut album, Shoot For The Stars, Aim For The Moon. Over the past few months, there have been rumblings about the project with Steven Victor as well as 50 Cent sharing updates. Earlier today, his manager Steven Victor shared the official cover art designed by Virgil Abloh with a heartfelt message about Pop Smoke.
Shortly after, Steven Victor shared a link for fans to discover the album's tracklist. Taking to his Instagram Story, he shared a post from a Pop Smoke fan page that directed fans www.shootforthestars.app where fans point their phone cameras to the sky where individual track names are revealed. Of course, the world of Twitter got a hold of the tracklist in some sort of variation and shared it with the timeline.
The project is stacked with nine songs and major guest features like 50 Cent, Roddy Ricch, Lil Baby, DaBaby, and Quavo, who appears three times. There's also a track with Karol G and Swae Lee. "West Coast Shit" ft. Tyga and Quavo is presumably the song Tyga teased on Instagram over the weekend.
The project includes "Make It Rain" with Rowdy Rebel but fans quickly pointed out that "Dior" serves as a bonus track on the project. Check out the link above for the official tracklist.
