Prison's been tough for Bobby Shmurda, who was recently placed in protective custody and shipped upstate after dodging a knife attack.

He isn't letting that get him down.

In fact, he sounded pretty upbeat on a recent call with Meek Mill and Trav, which Trav posted to his Instagram page.

"I'm getting big, I'm writing everyday," Bobby says when Trav asks him what'd doing.

What do you think? Is Bobby going to be a force when he gets out in about four years.
