Speaker 1: smiled at everyone and killed the show. It's just his
Speaker 1: energy was so infectious that as soon as you were
Speaker 1: around him, you wanted to know more about him and
Speaker 1: made you want to be around him. He just had
Speaker 1: that real special quality about him. When he showed up
Speaker 1: to do my radio show. You know, he showed up
Speaker 1: with flowers and cookies and played me new music and
Speaker 1: was jumping on the table like you couldn't have helped
Speaker 1: but to want more Pop Smoke. And I think we

Speaker 1: had the opportunity to spend a little time with him
Speaker 1: and interview him, and I'm certain that his energy will
Speaker 1: live on forever. Stick windham Gard DJ self. I first
Speaker 1: got wind of Pop Smoke through some Brooklyn DJ's that's
Speaker 1: cool with me, and it was like, Yo, I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: welcome to the party. This is that joint. And I
Speaker 1: had a chance to talk to Pop Smoke early in
Speaker 1: his career. It was just amazing how the work ethic

Speaker 1: happy and excited to you know, start rapping, and he
Speaker 1: was super excited to speak to me like it's oh,
