Pop Smoke‘s family and his brother, Obasi Jackson, have officially announced the upcoming launch of Pop’s Place, a brand-new coffee shop. Arriving over six years after the Brooklyn rapper’s tragic passing in Los Angeles, the new business venture serves as a permanent homage to his enduring musical and cultural legacy.

Situated in the heart of the Canarsie section of Brooklyn, New York — the very neighborhood that raised the late artist and heavily influenced his distinct sound — Pop’s Place aims to be a cornerstone for the local community.

The establishment of Pop’s Place not only solidifies the rapper’s towering impact on his hometown but also creates a physical gathering space for fans and loved ones to celebrate his memory.
