The Shmoney Dance. Everyone has heard of it, everyone has seen it, everyone knows it. Brooklyn native Ackquille Jean Pollard has stormed the Internet with his single "Hot N---a" and is now looking to show he is the real deal with a five-track, debut EP: Shmurda She Wrote.
The EP, which premiered on mtv.com, comes out as "Hot N---a" is only getting bigger every day. It has peaked so far at No. 8 on the Billboard Top 100 charts and has had an even bigger impact on pop culture. Everyone from athletes to musicians to celebrities have all been doing the Shmoney Dance. He has turned that Internet buzz into something legitimate, getting signed to Epic Records and nods from big-name rappers like Drake and Jay-Z.
The EP, to be released Nov. 10, can now be streamed, is five songs long and includes the infamous "Hot N---a" and the now-Billboard-Top-100 track "Bobby B---h," as well as three new ones: "World Wide N---a", "Live Life" and "Wipe the Case Away." The three new tunes have features from Ty Real and Rowdy Rebel.
The question will be if this EP will validate Bobby Shmurda as an artist and prove to the rap community that he is for real. It is probably too soon to make such a judgment, but with more material, we are able to get a clearer picture of how Bobby Smurda works as a rapper.
With the resources of Epic Records behind him, he will be able to link up with excellent producers and A&Rs to help him craft the best songs possible. We probably will not be seeing any more shaky, home-video-style music videos. It is a new era for Bobby Shmurda, now let's see how he steps into the role as a signed label artist.
