That's wild, RIP. He was basically poised to bring UK drill sound over to the States.

This is fucking tragic. Dude was only 20, apparently they got his address from a Friend who posted a pic of them in front of the house and didn't blur it out. It's either a setup or just not taking the dangers of Social media seriously.

Crazy. I've been listening to his music a lot lately and felt like he'd be 2020's version of DaBaby, a rapper with street cred that had catchy mainstream hooks. So much potential lost 😟

Nah. Unfortunately there's a long line of

1)Out of town rappers getting robbed because they are seen as easy marks (probably have jewelry, laptops to record)

2)People who monitor social media JUST to rob folks. There was a theft ring bust in Miami this week that was part the movie Hustlers, part what this seems like.

Miami crime ring suspects stalked rich victims to steal millions in jewelry, authorities say

Authorities in South Florida have uncovered an organized crime ring in which nearly a dozen suspects stalked rich residents, to steal jewelry.

"Garcia also allegedly monitored Chapman's home in Davie, as well as his wife's Instagram account, to conduct a burglary while they weren't home, WPLG reported. That burglary never took place, but the suspects allegedly involved are still charged with conspiring to break into Chapman's home."

TMZ update and said it might of been a targeted hit

's death wasn't a robbery gone wrong ... it was a targeted hit ... and that conclusion is supported by surveillance video.

People who have seen the surveillance footage from outside the Hollywood Hills home where Pop was killed Wednesday morning tell us ... you see 4 men approach the home at around 4:30 AM and sneak around back.

A couple minutes pass before 3 of the 4 walk back up the side of the home to the front. The 4th apparently walked in the backdoor but no camera was trained on it. The next time you see the man, he exits through the front door of the house.

As we reported, multiple shots were fired inside the home and they only struck Pop Smoke, who was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.

At first, it seemed like it might have been a robbery because the rapper posted a photo earlier in the day of a bunch of gifts ... one of which had his home address emblazoned on it. He also posted another pic hours before the shooting of himself and a friend in a car .. the friend is holding an enormous amount of cash.

But, here's the thing. The folks who have seen the surveillance video tell us the person inside the house -- presumably the shooter -- did not carry anything out. Given that he shot someone, it's doubtful he would take the time to stuff items in his pocket.

Pop Smoke Murder Appeared to be Target Hit, Not Robbery
