Watch Pop Smoke’s first posthumous video, directed by Virgil Abloh

The visuals for Shake The Room, featuring Quavo, see the rappers driving around Paris

The first posthumous video from Pop Smoke was released today (March 29), providing visuals for “Shake The Room”, a track featuring Quavo from the Pop Smoke’s second mixtape, Meet the Woo 2.

Directed by Virgil Abloh, the video is described as “barely a video shoot”, mostly featuring candid footage of the rappers driving around Paris during fashion week.

Pop Smoke’s life was tragically cut short on February 19, 2020, when he was shot and killed during a home invasion in Los Angeles. “Pop Smoke’s impact will live on thru the art he left us,” Virgil Abloh writes in an Instagram post accompanying the new video.

“In this case it was the night after the Louis show while we had the cameras rolling inside & outside a typical French restaurant in my neighborhood.”
