Bobby Shmurda at The Cotillion

A multiplatinum hip-hop artist hailing from Brooklyn, New York, Bobby Shmurda first took the music world by storm in 2014 with his breakout single, “Hot Boy.” The song peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earned five-time platinum certification, all while sparking the viral Shmoney Dance that became a cultural phenomenon. The track inspired remixes by hip-hop heavyweights such as French Montana, Chris Brown, Jadakiss, and Yo Gotti. He followed up his massive debut with “Bobby Bitch,” marking his second Billboard Hot 100 entry. Soon after, Bobby released his debut EP, Shmurda She Wrote, and made his nationally televised debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Bobby has recently expanded his global reach with a collaboration alongside Latin giants J. Balvin, Daddy Yankee, and Eladio Carrion on “TATA.” Now fully independent, Bobby dropped two mixtapes in 2022: BodBoy (distributed through 1R.P.M.) and ShmurdaGotCash, a collaboration with artist Lougotcash. These projects highlight Bobby’s versatility and energy while showcasing some of his best work to date. In 2023, Bobby launched the year with the release of his latest single, “Rats.”
