I think that people down the line will appreciate this project. We judge the last generation-the Jay Zs and the Nases and all that-we judge them for the work they did twenty years prior. People are so quick to judge the now instead of waiting years. You can hear the potential, and he's already a star. It's lyrical content in "Hot Nigga," more than a lot of cats down south-not knocking down south. I know New York is known for lyrics and all that, but I think the kid is unique in his own way. My goal is to make a modern day classic for New York. I got heavy 808s like that south, but I keep the east coast feel to my joints.Ī lot of people are waiting to hear what Bobby and GS9 are going to do next. As a producer, I had the south and the east influences. But right after that you had Lil Jon and the Crunk phase and all that. We was coming up, you had State Property doing that thing, Hov doing his thing, in Philly that was our movement. Let's keep it all the way 100, times has changed. When we was coming up together we had southern influences too. I think Bobby does have some down south influences, but it don't sound like nothing out of the south or of Chicago in general. It doesn’t sound like Young Chop or Chicago. It's just even crazier that it ended up being a beat that Lloyd Banks used, because it really does sounds like New York. He didn't have to shout out “New York” or “Brooklyn” once on the track, he just spit a hot ass verse that sounds like what guys where he’s from sound like.
When I first saw Bobby, the first thing I thought was he was Meek for Brooklyn. This New York rap conversation going on for so long. Something fresh or like what DMX did with Ruff Ryders. I think I've talked to Sha Money about three times since then, getting everything together and really making a move on the record, bringing him a sound that New York never had. That's why it's on iTunes and stuff like that. So there’s still no paperwork on that beat? Bobby bought the beat. All these rumors like "yo, Banks need publishing for that," no, that's not true.

I had put it on my mixtape called Crack Music 6. Two years later, the kid Bobby downloads a beat off the mixtape. He did "Jackpot" and I guess he didn't use it. I sent him like four or five beats and he was like "Yo, I'm gonna rock with that joint." That was that. He dropped the mixtape a couple of weeks later and it didn't go on that. Maybe he didn't like it or maybe he wasn't rocking with it at the time. Did you originally give it to Banks? Shout out to Banks, he's a cool dude. So many people didn't even know that was a Lloyd Banks beat. He was like "yo man I need some shit, the whole GS9 been fans." I was like "Yo, Banks never bought the record, so you can rock out with it." I think he's like 19, and from the streets and he's trying to come up, so whatever I could do to help the kid out. I went back and really listened to it and then I seen the video and I was like, "he might be onto something." I reached out to him and he was hype. This is dope, this is big on the internet. I kept hearing people telling me about it.
When did you first hear it? It's crazy right? I heard the record last month. You’ve been around for years, but “Hot Nigga” came out of nowhere. I'm working on the Bobby Shmurda album, we already locked it in.
What’s up man, what are you up to? I'm just working, working, working like crazy, man. We hit up Jahlil to find out just how Bobby ended up with his beat, and what they were working on next. Five-million views later, Bobby's caught a deal with Epic Records and a French Montana remix, with him and his GS9 cohorts just a week removed from catching bodies.

zip of Jahlil instrumentals, and he and his GS9 crew took New York by storm with "Hot Nigga," an inescapable, hook-less barrage of bars and bulletholes rapped over " Jackpot," an overlooked Lloyd Banks loosie from 2012. But this summer, a curious beatjack may have made for his biggest moment yet: Brooklyn spitter Bobby Shmurda got his hands on a stray. Philadelphia's Jahlil Beats spent years pumping out tracks for Meek Mill, culminating in crossover hits like "I'ma Boss" and "Burn." He's since clocked in tracks for massive names like Jay-Z, Chris Brown and Lil Wayne, as well as linking with Roc Nation management alongside white-hot producers like DJ Mustard.
