Up-and-coming rapper Bobby Shmurda has pleaded not guilty to gun and narcotics charges in New York.

Shmurda appeared Thursday in court, where a judge ordered him held on $2 million bail.

The 20-year-old Brooklyn-born rapper was arrested Wednesday as part of a roundup of suspects in a series of gang-related shootings and drug trafficking in the city.

He's best known for the hit song "Hot Boy." One of his videos also popularized a dance move called the "Shmoney dance."

His real name is Ackquille Pollard.
