Throwback to June 2022. It’s pretty incredible that two brothers from another mother can make a hot track and video without ever being in the same state, let alone city. Where there is a will, there is a way. Check out this remix of Pop Buchanan’s Dear Addicts that just dropped in honor of Pop’s 10th sobriety anniversary.
About Pop Buchanan
Josephe “Pop” Buchanan is an American artist, author, activist, and podcaster. He is rising in the world of Hip-Hop music and as a public figure like never before. The artist is all about positivity and spreads the message of God, love, and sobriety showcasing some of the most eclectic lyrics ever created. His increasing popularity among great music lovers and podcast listeners worldwide shows that his growing number of friends are welcoming every lyric and podcast he has created.
Supporters know him as Pop Buchanan and his friends know him simply as “Pop”, but very few are aware of the story of his life that he has finally decided to reveal to the public. He was raised in Brooklyn and lost his father, Raymond “Rocky” Buchanan, when he was only 13. This great loss has been the fuel behind Pop’s passion. Moreover, graduated with a bachelor’s in science from The State University of New York (SUNY) at Farmingdale, where he studied Business Technology.
Despite a complex childhood, he was a dedicated student who always had a passion for music and speaking. However, in his late teens, he entered the world of Male Modeling after being discovered. In spite of others trying to contain him in the modeling world, after starring in INOJ’s hit video “Time After Time”, Pop’s love for music continued to grow. But he decided to take a break from both and set his sights on the business world where he became a successful Financial Consultant and Real Estate Investor. However, his lifelong passion has always been music and he quickly returned to what he loves.
Sober is Dope!
The artist battled with alcohol addiction and that addiction turned his life upside down, professionally and personally. However, since 2012, he has gone through a major renaissance and is now helping others by sharing his story of sobriety, health transformation, and survival. Pop is an advocate against addiction, diabetes, and hatred. He took his passion for sobriety, health, and recovery and started the Sober is Dope Podcast, and Sober is Dope Transformation School. POP also created a free E-Book dedicated to personal transformation. This is POP’s way of saying thank you to everyone in the Recovery, Music, and Mental Health community. POP has helped over 15000 people thrive in recovery and has been a leading force in the Addiction and Recovery movement. Pop’s personal motto is, “It’s never too late to be amazing.”
