Brooklyn rapper Bobby Shmurda is best known for the 2014 hit “Hot N***a” and the legal troubles that sidelined him just as he was blowing up.
• Shmurda got his start creating remixes. His first was a homemade 2004 update of Crime Mob’s crunk classic “Knuck If You Buck.”
• Shmurda shook the rap world with his 2014 single “Hot N***a.” The song went viral thanks to a music video featuring Shmurda’s patented “Shmoney Dance.” Before long, superstars like Beyoncé, JAY-Z, and Drake were seen copying Shmurda’s moves.
• The success of “Hot N***a” earned Shmurda a deal with Epic Records. With the label’s backing, the single peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 1 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
• Shmurda’s career was derailed in October 2016, when he was sentenced to seven years in prison after pleading guilty to weapons and conspiracy charges.
• While behind bars, Shmurda recorded a verse—via the prison telephone—for Brooklyn rapper 6ix9ine’s 2018 single “Stoopid.”
