Bobby Shmurda, whose real name is Ackquille Jean Pollard, first catapulted to fame with his hit single "Hot N*gga" in 2014. The song's viral success, particularly its music video featuring the Shmoney Dance, marked a watershed moment in the rap scene, making Shmurda an overnight sensation. Born on August 4, 1994, in Miami, Florida, but raised in Brooklyn, New York, Shmurda's music is deeply rooted in the gritty realities of street life, reflecting his own experiences and the vibrant, if challenging, energy of East Flatbush, where he grew up. His sound, a mix of aggressive beats and sharp, detail-rich storytelling, pulls from both Southern trap and New York drill, positioning him as a bridge between diverse hip-hop traditions.

Despite a promising career outset, Bobby Shmurda's trajectory took a drastic turn in December 2014 when he was arrested on a variety of charges, including conspiracy to commit murder, which significantly stalled his music career. After serving about six years, he was released from prison in February 2021, eagerly welcomed back into the music world by fans and fellow artists alike. Shmurda's post-prison releases such as "POURIN SHOTS", "International Drill", and "SHMURDAGOTCASH" show his relentless spirit and undiminished talent, hinting at a matured sound while still staying true to the energetic, hard-hitting style that first brought him to public attention. Through his music, Bobby Shmurda continues to navigate his journey of redemption and renaissance, eagerly embracing his second chance in the rap game.
