Bobby Shmurda prefers a Pop Smoke verse over Jay Z
Bobby Shmurda took a break from dancing and sat down with DJ Akademiks on his “Off the Record” podcast. The “Shmoney” artist was asked a question about who he would prefer a feature from before Pop Smoke and Jay Z. “The song is a smash. Whole New York City will love it. Your nephews would love it, going crazy all day. The hood would go crazy for it. Or, it’s a song from Pop Smoke. Or, Hov” asked Akademiks.
Before Akademiks could finish his question, Shmurda quick interrupted by saying “Pop Smoke.” The Brooklyn rapper then did a rendition of Pop Smoke’s voice and what he would sound like on the song. “Forreal?” asked Akademiks in belief. Shmurda continued to imitate Pop Smoke’s voice.
Shmurda’s latest project, They Don’t Know is now available. The project was teased through a title track bearing the same name as the album. Shmurda teased the release on Instagram. “4/29 it’s littttttttttt F*** all y’all n***** independent [gorilla] on the loose nah I been dying for y’all to get this work, let’s talk facts no.”
Shmurda responded to some fans who wondered whether the album should be pushed back. He claimed that he is getting blackballed by some labels. “@_frank_mathews_ and all my fans,” Bobby wrote in response to the comment. “Nah F*** that I got major Lables jumping me Blackballing me and shittttt and I’m from the hood young and rich black as shittt and don’t give a about both and they Scare of me and I love that ishhh.
