On Something – Eli & Bobby Shmurda

Shmurda’s Struggle to Recapture Glory: “On Something” Fizzles Out

Remember the Bobby Shmurda hype train? Back in the mid-2010s, it felt like everyone was riding it, captivated by tracks like “Hot N****” and “Bobby B****.” The Brooklyn rapper had undeniable charisma, but it all screeched to a halt with his lengthy prison sentence.

Shmurda’s return in 2021 was a cause for celebration. Since then, the now 29-year-old has dropped two albums and a string of singles. His latest feature, “On Something,” with newcomer Eli, only amplifies this.

“On Something” is a collaboration that launch, both artists leaving listeners and fans, eager for a return to form, and Shmurda recapturing the magic that made him a star.
