6ix9ine

6ix9ine, born Daniel Hernandez on May 8, 1996, is a New York rapper known as much for his rainbow-colored hair, extensive tattoos, and confrontational persona as for his music. He rose to viral fame in 2017 with «GUMMO», a chaotic, high-energy track that became a Billboard Hot 100 hit and set the template for his aggressive, hype-driven style rooted in the New York drill scene.

His 2018 single «FEFE», featuring Nicki Minaj, expanded his reach further, peaking inside the US top 10, and his debut album DUMMY BOY followed later that year. Throughout his career, 6ix9ine's music has been inseparable from his controversies, including legal troubles and gang-related racketeering charges, which have shaped much of his public narrative alongside his chart success.

After cooperating with federal authorities, he returned with singles like «GOOBA» and «TROLLZ», featuring Nicki Minaj, continuing to generate massive streaming numbers despite widespread industry backlash. His career remains one of the most polarizing in modern hip-hop, defined by a mix of viral marketing instincts and persistent legal drama.
