Steven Victor speaks after fans criticized Pop Smoke’s new album “Faith”.

Pop Smoke’s posthumous second album arrived on Friday, though some people weren’t too keen on the outcome. On the one hand, the power of the stars who supported the project, like Kanye West and Dua Lipa, did not appease the Pop fan base as a few of the tracks were leaked and then reworked for the album.

A few people have expressed their problems with the project, such as 808Melo, Pop’s childhood friend Mike Dee, as well as Rowdy Rebel. The “Re-Route” rapper specifically felt a type of way about the release of “Top Shotta” which initially starred Eli Fross and had an entirely different beat. Rowdy spoke out against industry policy for removing Fross from the song, especially since it could have been a huge breaking moment for him.

The Pop Smoke team were also bombarded with criticism of the project from fans. Steven Victor took to Twitter where he addressed the controversy surrounding two songs, specifically “Top Shotta” and “Manslaughter” ft. Rick Ross and The-Dream. The first, unfortunately, could not be cleared in time, according to Victor. Although he did mention that a deluxe edition of the album was coming out soon.

“You all need to cool down the original Shotta’s best beat wasn’t erasable… couldn’t find Louie Rankin’s realm,” Victor tweeted. “Working on the deluxe with Rico & obasi, let us know what you want to hear.”

In a subsequent tweet, he addressed the single “Manslaughter” which he said was originally scheduled to appear on Shoot For The Stars Aim For The Moon.

“OG Manslaughter was a song called Tricky Dick by Train Thieves.
