About
Also known as: Ackquille Jean Pollard, Bobby Schmurda
Bobby Shmurda turned a goofy little dance into a global moment. His 2014 single "Hot Nigga" went viral on YouTube, climbed to number six on the Billboard Hot 100 and went platinum. The "Shmoney dance" from the video became a meme, popping up in countless Vines and getting copied by Beyoncé and Jay Z on tour and by Drake at the ESPYs. Rappers like Juicy J, French Montana, Lil' Kim and T.I. all freestyled over the beat, and the official remix pulled in Fabolous, Chris Brown, Jadakiss and Busta Rhymes. He's counted, alongside Rowdy Rebel, as a pioneer of Brooklyn drill. After the hit he signed with Epic Records and put out the EP Shmurda She Wrote in 2014, with "Bobby Bitch" as another standout. A planned debut album never arrived, and he later phoned in his verses from prison for 6ix9ine's "Stoopid", which reached number 25 on the Hot 100. Since his release he has played Rolling Loud in Miami, dropped the freestyle "No Time for Sleep", and parted ways with Epic.
