DESCRIPTION:
2x12" Hip Hop LP - On his official full-length debut, Dummy Boy, troubled New York rapper 6ix9ine delivers much of the same exaggerated and empty content that assisted his speedy but controversial rise in the late 2010s. Issued while the divisive figure was imprisoned for a number of offenses, Dummy Boy mirrors its creator in its overly energized, cartoonishly aggressive, and ultimately soulless presentation. Growling and yelling, 6ix9ine spends much of Dummy Boy making threats and puffing his chest, employing explosive gun blasts and intense production to get his hollow points across. In the process, he also manages to pull a decent bunch of high-profile guests into his problematic orbit, including Lil Baby, Tory Lanez,
A Boogie wit da Hoodie, Gunna, and even Nicki Minaj and Kanye West, who both double-down on their already critically maligned years by contributing a pair of collaborations each. One of those, "Mama," is one of the album's standouts, mostly for its union of three of 2018's most headline-grabbing hip-hop stars. Elsewhere, rowdy cuts like "Stoopid," "Tati," and "Wondo" inject Dummy Boy with mosh-worthy vitriol, while lighter, island-inspired breaks with Anuel AA ("Bebe" and "Mala") offer respite from the overwhelming obnoxiousness found elsewhere on the album. Dummy Boy is unlikely to disappoint 6ix9ine fans, but for everyone else, there's little to back up the hype and controversy associated with the self-professed "King of New York."

Daniel Hernandez (born May 8, 1996) and professionally known as 6ix9ine, Tekashi69, or Tekashi 6ix9ine, is an American rapper. He emerged in the late 2010s with an aggressive vocal style and a highly visible public persona, characterized by distinctive rainbow-colored hair, extensive tattoos, frequent use of social media, and involvement in public controversies and feuds.
Hernandez first gained attention in 2017 through a guest appearance on Trippie Redd’s single "Poles 1469". Later that year, he released his debut single "Gummo", which became a sleeper hit and peaked at number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song preceded his debut mixtape "Day69" (2018), which was supported by the singles "Kooda", "Keke" (with Fetty Wap and A Boogie wit da Hoodie), and "Gotti", all of which entered the Billboard Hot 100. His debut studio album, "Dummy Boy" (2018), was led by the single "Fefe" (featuring Nicki Minaj and Murda Beatz), which peaked at number three on the chart. Despite generally negative critical reception, the album reached number two on the Billboard 200 and was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.
In 2015, Hernandez pleaded guilty to a felony count involving the use of a child in a sexual performance and was sentenced to four years of probation and 1,000 hours of community service. In 2018, he was arrested alongside his manager Kifano “Shotti” Jordan and several members of the Nine Trey Gangsters faction of the United Blood Nation street gang on racketeering and related felony charges. After cooperating with federal authorities and testifying against members of the gang, Hernandez was sentenced to two years in prison in December 2019. He was placed on home confinement in April 2020 and released in August of that year.
Following his release, Hernandez achieved short-term commercial success with the singles "Gooba" and "Trollz" (with Nicki Minaj), which peaked at numbers three and one on the Billboard Hot 100, respectively. His second studio album, "TattleTales" (2020), debuted at number four on the Billboard 200. His third album, "Leyenda Viva" (2023), marked his first reggaeton-focused project and did not achieve significant chart success. Hernandez’s cooperation with law enforcement led to widespread criticism and ostracism within the hip-hop community, significantly affecting his public image and standing within the genre.
