You went from Epic, now you have your own situation with GS9 Records. I got a weed business jumping off with the EP. Right now, I’m currently trying to build a security company. I think I would never have security if I never went to jail. And lucky that I had certain people with me to restrain me to do whatever that I could have lost my life at certain points. All types of situations outside of clubs and shit. I had some situations that I thank God never came up that guns was pulled. If I didn’t go to jail, I probably would have killed somebody or did some crazy shit and been locked up for life. How much do you feel your prison stay set you back? So, it’s about telling the young boys out here, life is ready to live. Seventeen years of wildin’, in and out of jails, since I was 10 or 11. I been selling crack, in and out of jail since. Shit, I ain’t been to school since I was in fifth grade. So, I can’t sit here and say I relate to them and see how they changing this and that. I don’t know no other rapper or no other artist that been through the shit I been through. ’Cause I can’t say I can relate to everybody.
Who has been one of the biggest influences on your change? Or what is something you decided to do yourself? Those type of narratives I feel like need to be taken more serious. I’m trying to push girls on the young boys, not guns. As long as you push a positive narrative. You just gotta know what’s real and what ain’t. Before, controlled everything with music. Obviously, it wasn’t as big when you went in, but it’s a huge marketing tool now. Now, I’m ready to jump into endorsements, releasing music and all of that. So, me now setting that up is a beautiful thing. That was one of my plans I was fighting for. So, this will be the first time I will be receiving a check for my music through my whole years. Today is the first day I receive my independent check. What was the biggest change that occurred in the six years you were locked up? I don’t let them niggas take my happiness. I just don’t let them niggas take my soul. You ain’t gon’ see too many niggas that will shoot you and smile. I’m a nigga that you don’t see every day. It ain’t really hit me ’til like the second, third year.ĭid you make an effort to change your image when you got out?

It went right back to the basics when I got to jail. So, I wasn’t really too attached like that. Sitting down for six years, shit, I was only in the industry for five months. XXL: How difficult was it going from being one of the hottest new rappers in 2014 to having to sit down for over six years?īobby Shmurda: Shit, man. In late July, XXL spoke with Bobby Shmurda and discussed how his prison bid changed him, the pros and cons of going independent, his debut album and more. The platinum single “Bobby B*tch” followed that October and the EP Shmurda She Wrote hit the streets that November. He signed a deal with Epic Records that July and officially released “Hot N*gga” the following week, which peaked at No. It was the brazen lyrics, iconic hat flip and infectious Shmoney dance, which even Beyoncé couldn’t help but imitate.
