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.
JAHLIL BEATS INSTRUMENTAL CRACK
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.
JAHLIL BEATS INSTRUMENTAL ZIP
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.
