Jahlil likens Bobby Shmurda’s everyman energy on the track to Eazy-E’s. Bobby and Rowdy Rebel listened to all my instrumental tapes, and that’s how they turned the beat into “Hot N*gga.” “I took the beat and put it out on my own instrumental mixtape. “Banks is one of the most underrated rappers ever and I loved what he did to my beat, but it didn’t end up on his mixtape,” Jahlil said. But The Hunger For More MC clearly saw the song as a throwaway, leaving it off his mixtape V.6: The Gift. “Jackpot” is built around chest-thumping bravado (“A threesome ain’t shit / I need a couple of those”) and Banks’ usual avalanche of punchlines. Having previously produced for Queens superstar 50 Cent and his street soldier Tony Yayo, Jahlil instead passed the beat over to another G-Unit member, Lloyd Banks, who released it as “ Jackpot” directly onto his Twitter in February 2012. Not special enough for Meek though, who wasn’t interested (“He thought it sounded too much like ‘Burn’”). I brought all of these different effects together in Fruity Loops and made the “Hot N*gga” beat in like 15 minutes, tops. “You have the hiss of a vinyl needle, that lower brass which really snaps, the kick drum.

Jahlil, who cut his first demo at just 2-years-old thanks to his dad being a studio engineer, says studying computer science at college helped him understand how to effortlessly combine different sound effects in the studio. The sound of the crow was because I loved those gothic horror movies, but it was also to symbolize that death is always stalking Black people in America.
“Although I had one foot in the door, I still had the other foot a lot closer to the street because that’s where all my friends were still at,” Jahlil said.“ the music captured that raw energy. It’s what the repeat button was designed for. Yet thanks to Jahlil’s thumping beat and a then 19-year-old Bobby’s infectious rookie energy, “Hot N*gga” is that rare rap song that makes you feel like a $1 million every time you listen to it. The idea that a hook-less rap song about being surrounded by nine-millimetre handguns, flipping g-packs, and being fellated until you’ve passed out, could fire up both rugrats and pensioners seems farcical. It’s a song that brings people together, you know? It just uplifts the people.” “I’ve been to two or three weddings where they’ve played it, too, and grandmas were losing their shit on the dance floor. “They were going crazy,” says the producer behind the 2014 hit song. Yet producer Jahlil Beats (real name Orlando Tucker) tells me Bobby Shmurda’s immortal hood anthem “Hot N*gga” got the kids at his niece’s fifth birthday party so hyped that the DJ was forced to run the song back three times. You might expect a song by Barney the dinosaur to get the most love at a small child’s birthday party - not a gutter rap cut.
Listen to Lloyd Bank’s “Jackpot” and watch Bobby Shmurda’s interview below.In the latest installment of Behind The Beat, Thomas Hobbs spoke with Jahlil Beats about how he and Bobby Shmurda made the immortal hood anthem “Hot N*gga.” It’s kids over there having the same type of problems we having over here.” When asked about his music being compared to Chicago’s Drill Music, Bobby responded, “They gonna say that cause we both young, and we doing – I’m not gonna say the same thing, but kinda like the same thing. While Shmurda showed love to some of NYC’s Hip Hop legends, the Brooklyn native has received some blowback from listeners and other rappers for what they feel is his sound too closely resembling styles from other regions.
Shmurda also talked about a few of his personal favorite rappers, and the 20-year-old performer named Jay Z and Jadakiss as the best lyricists. The beat that eventually became “Hot N***a” was also the beat for Bank’s “Jackpot.” That version was released in 2012. Jahlil called me and told me he never bought the beat and I snatched it up,” said Shmurda. During an interview with Jenny Boom Boom, Shmurda revealed the track’s producer, Jahlil Beats, told him Banks never purchased the track. (AllHipHop News) Epic Records artist Bobby Shmurda cleared up rumors surrounding the beat for his buzzing street single “Hot N***a” originally belonging to Lloyd Banks.
