Music has different forms and one of them is rap. The rap is made up of rhyming and street vernaculars, mostly over an instrumental background track. Many rappers prefer baggy t-shirts, baggy jeans, a hat and/or bandana, lots of jewelry, big sunglasses, jackets, and of course shoes as their default costume. A few have created their own style, like 6ix9ine, whose unconventional look is one of the selling points.
6ix9ine Biography,
Records indicate that 6ix9ine, also known as Tekashi69 was born on May 8, 1996 as Daniel Hernandez in Bushwick, Brooklyn, New York. Her father was from Puerto Rico and her mother from Atlixco in Mexico. He was raised with his brother (and only sibling) by both parents until his father was murdered in 2009. This was a game changer for the family and Daniel had to step in by working multiple jobs and even selling cannabis for to survive. He was expelled from school in 8th grade and never returned.
In 2014, he started his rap career by making and releasing several songs. His rapping was aggressive and he used anime as the visual for his videos. These brought attention to his path, but not enough to make it a success. 6ix9ine is also known as the rapper with his multicolored hair and golden grills. The Slovak music label, FCK THEM, is responsible for the release of most of his early songs.
His rap name is 6ix9ine, a clear deviation from his birth name, Daniel.

The rapper has 14.6 million followers on Instagram and over 4.8 million subscribers on his YouTube channel. As good as it sounds, the truth is that it hasn’t always been so popular.
Fame came for Tekashi69 in 2017 when a July photo he posted on Instagram became a website. In this photo, he wore rainbow hair, his grid and 69 tattooed on several parts of his body. He became even more famous when his first commercial single titled Gummo hit the airwaves in November 2017.

In July, he featured Nicki Minaj and Murda Beatz in his song, Fefe which went on to number four and then number three on the Hot 100. His next song is due out later in October, as indicated by a video he posted but deleted on Instagram. He went on a 13-city European World Domination tour from June 15 to July 6.
