A few weeks before he died, DMX appeared on NORE’s Drink Champs podcast and talked about the outlandish list of guests he had lined up to appear on his new album: Bono, Usher, Alicia Keys, Lil Wayne, on and on. He wasn’t lying. On Friday, less than two months after DMX’s death, his final album Exodus made its way into the world. Only one of the collaborators who DMX named isn’t on the LP: Pop Smoke, the ascendant Brooklyn drill star who was murdered a year before DMX died. DMX never met Pop Smoke; the guest verse was something that his people had arranged with Pop Smoke’s estate. A posthumous Pop Smoke verse was supposed to appear on DMX’s track “Money Money Money,” but on the final version of the album, we get young Memphis star Moneybagg Yo instead. That Pop Smoke verse ended up appearing someplace else, so Swizz Beatz had to find a replacement.
