Brooklyn drill rapper Pop Smoke picked up on the momentum of his 2019 debut Meet the Woo with second mixtape Meet the Woo, Vol. 2 just a few months later. The project is defined by Smoke's puffed-up confidence and deep, husky vocals that teeter between sinister charisma and all-out menace. Production is handled by Yoz Beatz, 808Melo, and several others, and the instrumentals match Smoke's dark-edged persona with room-shaking bass that leaves just enough room for moody samples. Lil Tjay shows up on both the lurching and trappy ode to wealth "War" and "Mannequin," and other guests include Quavo, Fivio Foreign, and A Boogie Wit da Hoodie on the grimy album standout "Foreigner." When Pop Smoke goes it alone, his no-holds-barred style feels relentless and unstoppable. "Dior" is Smoke at the height of his powers, throwing bars effortlessly and riding an explosive beat typical to the blunt, aggressive feel that flows through the entire mixtape. This unrelentingly raw energy is what makes Meet the Woo, Vol. 2 some of Pop Smoke's best material. Every song walks a razor-thin line between fun and danger, thick with the same tension that fills the room right before a fight breaks out. Pop Smoke keeps this tension hanging for the entire duration of the tape, creating something that's exhilaratingly bleak and always ready to explode. ~ Fred Thomas, Rovi
