He still shrieks - there are some Busta Rhymes-isms on “Waka,” and “Tati” is full of clipped threats - but his penchant for pandemonium is largely expressed in his preference for peculiar and irregular sounds: the pealing siren on “Stoopid,” or the quasi-steel drum on “Kika.” (The producers are an eclectic bunch, including Murda Beatz, Scott Storch and Take A Daytrip.)Ħix9ine also appears to understand that a little 6ix9ine goes a long way often he sounds like an accent piece on his own album. If sing-rapping in Spanish is expedient - as on “Bebe” and “Mala,” a pair of duets with Anuel AA - then he’ll do that, too.
If whisper rapping with Nicki Minaj will grab people’s attention, as he does on “Fefe,” then he’ll do that. If heavily AutoTuned vocals are what the moment requires, as on “Tic Toc” and “Feefa,” then he’ll do that. That makes the energetic but scattered “Dummy Boy” far less rowdy than his first full-length release, “Day69,” which was filled with short, punchy scraps of songs that defied many rap conventions. (It leaked online a couple of days prior.) It feels less like a blueprint for 6ix9ine’s future in music and more like a retrospective of an especially bizarre time in hip-hop.Ħix9ine’s second full-length album is “Dummy Boy.” Credit.
6ix9ine fefe cover art trial#
(6ix9ine, 22, pleaded not guilty on Monday.) His trial is scheduled to begin in September 2019 he remains in custody today.Īmid this chaos, his second album, “Dummy Boy,” was officially released Tuesday. And earlier this month he was arrested on federal racketeering and weapons charges, among others.
And as much as he is an actor, he is facing real-world consequences for real-world actions: He pleaded guilty to a 2015 charge of use of a child in a sexual performance, for which he recently received four years probation. Instead, he emphasizes texture and intensity - typically, he’s screaming in a static-y rasp, an approach that suggests abandon, and potential mayhem just around the corner.īut as much as he is a musician, he is an actor, with a carefully cultivated online personality designed for maximum shock. He is a snoozy lyricist, almost wholly uninterested in narrative, complexity or even the basic tenets of rhyme. An opportunist who parlayed a sort of social-media telegenic glow into a music career, a curio who embraced a quixotic anti-style and became a regular fixture on the Billboard charts, 6ix9ine has become one of the emblematic rappers of the SoundCloud generation, even if rapping itself isn’t of much interest to him.
