Bobby Shmurda      

Rapper from Brooklyn Signed to Epic Records

Ackquille Pollard, known by his stage name Bobby Shmurda, is an American rapper from Brooklyn, signed to Epic Records. He is best known for his song "Hot N****," a song that debuted the "Shmoney dance," which went viral after the release of the music video. The song peaked at No. 21 on the Digital Rap Songs chart and peaked at No. 18 on the Billboard Hot 100, with the song being remixed and performed by numerous other artists including Lil Kim, French Montana, Juicy J and Gunplay.

Shmurda began rapping at the age of 10. The first song he remixed was Crime Mob’s "Knuck If You Buck" in 2004, but did not receive any notable attention until 2014 with the release of the song "Hot N****." The song features the beat from the Lloyd Banks' song "Jackpot."

Shmurda gained notoriety from the video where he performs the "Shmoney dance," choreography that he made in the summer of 2013. The song became popular among Vine users and soon lead to the "Shmoney dance" meme, which has since been performed by Beyoncé on her On the Run Tour with Jay-Z as well being used by Drake while hosting the 2014 ESPY Awards.

Freestyles of the song by various rappers have since been released, including by Juicy J, French Montana, Lil Kim, Gunplay and T.I. The song peaked at No. 21 on the Billboard Rap Digital chart with a remix of the song featuring Chris Brown, Jadakiss and Busta Rhymes planned for release in 2014.

On August 29, 2014, Shmurda released a reggae remix featuring Junior Reid, Mavado, Popcaan and Jah X. On September 5, 2014, another remix of "Hot Nigga" notably featuring Chris Brown, Fabolous, Jadakiss and Busta Rhymes was released. Shmurda's debut album with Epic Records is scheduled for release in 2014. The album is said to be produced by Jahlil Beats.
