Bobby Shmurda recently shared insights into the creation of his breakout hit "Hot N****" during an interview with Vlad TV. The Brooklyn rapper recounted spending just $20 for an hour of studio time to record the track, emphasizing the low cost compared to his earnings from hustling in the streets. Initially, Shmurda's focus was more on making money through selling drugs rather than pursuing a music career. However, his friends encouraged him to hit the studio, believing in his talent, which eventually led to the unplanned success of "Hot N****." The track gained rapid popularity, winning over both fans and club crowds, despite not being among Shmurda's favorite songs at the time.
The beat for "Hot N****" was initially used by Lloyd Banks, but Shmurda only heard the instrumental, leading to a unique version that resonated widely and marked his entry into the music industry. Shmurda’s tale serves as a testament to how unexpected opportunities can alter life's trajectory.
