If you haven't done the #ShmoneyDance this morning, you're about to. Brooklyn-bred rapper Bobby Shmurda has just signed to Epic Records, helmed by L.A. Reid.

"Deal is done bobby_shmurda #EPIC no one does the underdogs better then me. Brooklyn this 1 is for you!" tweeted the label's EVP of A&R, Sha Money XL, early Friday morning, along with an Instagram video of Shmurda shmoney dancing on a conference table at the Epic offices.

Sha Money has helped to shape the career of 50 Cent, he signed 2 Chainz to Def Jam, and executive produced Big K.R.I.T.'s Live From the Underground. He's also produced records like 50's "Beg for Mercy."

Bobby has built an impressive Internet buzz already, at one point reaching the top of Billboard's Twitter chart, the Trending 140, with his song "Hot N---a," and has already translated his hype to real life stamps from the likes of Drake, who shmoney danced at the ESPYs; Beyoncé, who shmoney danced during an On the Run set; Jay Z, who gave him a lyrical shout out in concert; and Raekwon, Meek Mill and Fabolous, who have all brought him out at various shows.

"Robin Hood done did it again. @BobbyShmurdaGS9 congrats my G," Sha added via Twitter.

I'm sound like I'm hating but dude has no lyrics...no star quality (watching that interview)...just that dance...hopefully they can develop him into a decent artist idk tho...I was reading ice T book something interesting he said was you couldn't even think about getting signed until you earned your stripes doing shows and A & R's seen you in that element...now it's the reverse...dudes throw a video on youtube...if it gets hits they become "stars" w/o having dropped any albums/doing shows etc

future music class...might even make a thread in the business forum

This is damn fascinating how a star was basically CREATED by using social media...

soundcloud, youtube, vine, twitter and then BOOM

internationally famous with a deal with a MAJOR label...

funny thing the ORIGINAL song isn't even his!!!

He definitely gives the same energy as chief keef he's very young 20 years old he's super turnt up it makes more sense to go independent hopefully he can turn this into something bigger he's definitely more focused than chief keef that right there is a plus in itself.

chief keef had a bigger movement tho and an in-house producer which helped create "their sound"...he had more pieces to work w/ and a bigger following than this kid imo

yeah I caught that.

but that is a product of the environment his father locked up his kid joins a gang

you can't kick the truth the young black youth from prison

and all his friends are in the streets getting turned up.

He said it all when he said his FAVORITE rapper is Lil Boosie.

The sad part is he is obviously NOT dumb learning fast has some talent charming funny kid he aint saying sh*t on the mic but that genre of rap is hot right now.

I hope he succeeds.

But I completely understand your point and it really turned me off too but...

lets hope he smartens up
