Meet the Woo

Meet the Woo is Pop Smoke's 2019 debut mixtape that introduced his deep, gravelly voice over a hybrid of UK drill and East Coast hip hop production. The sound is built on sliding 808 bass, rattling hi-hats, sparse ominous synths and syncopated percussion, pairing aggressive gangsta rap lyrical themes with a hypnotic, nightclub-ready energy. Tracks such as "Welcome to the Party" became breakout moments that showcased his ad-lib driven delivery and helped define a Brooklyn drill sound.
