Bobby Shmurda Vinyl Records
A pioneer of Brooklyn drill, rapper Bobby Shmurda became a viral sensation with his 2014 single "Hot N*gga." Both the song and its accompanying dance moves caught on at an astronomical rate, with Shmurda's East Coast adaptation of the powerful drill style coming out of Chicago creating a template that would become the standard for many artists that followed. His quick success happened alongside legal troubles, and after a series of arrests, charges, and court hearings, Shmurda ultimately did time on Rikers Island before being moved to another prison following his involvement in a scuffle with other inmates. He was released from prison in 2021, and made "No Time for Sleep (freestyle)" his first new song after incarceration, a few months later.
