New York rap heavyweight Lil Tjay knows the importance of keeping Pop Smoke’s legacy alive. The hip-hop star comes through with a big salute to the late musician with a birthday salute to what would have been the fellow Big Apple native’s 24th birthday.

Tjay hits up his Instagram page to pay proper respect to Pop. Swiping is definitely an ode.
