French Montana’s newly released song “Double G” features a verse from late rapper Pop Smoke in this bass-heavy hard-hitter.
Montana stated in an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music’s New Music Daily, that he was conflicted initially as to whether or not he should release the Pop Smoke accompanied track following the rapper’s death earlier this year.
He had this to say on the show: “A lot of people don’t realize how close me and Pop Smoke was,” Montana said. “We was friends outside the music and we had a lot of music together that we was planning on putting out, and I’m just so sad we didn’t get a chance to do that.”
Montana stated that there are a lot more completed songs that the two of them recorded together. “Once we met, we just became real close, and studio time, studio after studio, we just built that bond, and we came out with, almost like a project together; that’s how many songs we had,” Montana added, “I was even contemplating not putting it out, but he deserves more than that from his fans, from New York and for the people, just to see the positive side and how much talent this kid had and how our vibration was with each other.”
