and expanded version. I have to do this guy justice back then, his track Gummo was gaining a lot of traction online and I knew he was on the verge of becoming a star, but I never could have predicted how quickly he would get there and how big he had become until now in 2018. Only Takashi has scored collaborations with artists like Killing Beats and Nicki Minaj. Plus, he follows Fifi now that that song is just one of six from his release so far this year that have charted on the Billboard Hot 100.

His older songs have also continued to pile up. he plays with gumbo getting certified platinum on march 5th and then there's his album day 69 which peaked at number four on the billboard 200. the guy has gotten so big so fast that he's even gotten attention from outside of typical hip -space hop joe rogan even talked about the Rainbow King on his podcast he has rainbow hair, yes he has a rainbow grill, he has a rainbow grill, now he's actually had several rainbow grills.

updated

and expanded version now that We've covered a ton of upcoming rappers on this channel, you can definitely check out our rapper and hip hop playlists and I recently covered young bands on Kid Buu. You might want to check them out and always be sure to tell me who's next in the comments.

Next, let's get into this video. Hey, make sure you subscribe and ring the bell. I stand out among kids who can't stand on their own and deal with a lot of cyberbullying. Dealing with a lot of schoolchildren. Takashi 69 was born Daniel Hernandez on May 18, 1999. He was born and raised in the Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. He was raised by both his mother and his father and grew up with his brother. He is of mixed Hispanic descent. My mom is Mexican. She is from. Aklisco Puebla Flores in Mexico and my dad is Puerto Rican Nuevo 69 is a big part of Takashi's brand it's in his name and it's tattooed all over his body over 200 times now according to Takashi the number has something to do with his childhood but it's nice cryptic about what exactly it means, he said 69 is just a lifestyle, you know what I'm saying, it has to do with a lot of things and how I came about, you know what I'm saying, I don't want to get too much into what six nine is , you know what I'm saying now, but I just want people to really like to understand, so I'm going to let them know who I am before

they

know the six nine, you know what I'm saying, since he says. 69 has something to do with how it came about.

My best guess is that he has something to do with surviving difficult circumstances. Now that he was a child, Daniel, he didn't have a television, he often went to bed hungry and his mother could hear his stomach. grumbling and never had money for new clothes, one time his mother gave him a pair of shoes that she had found in the trash and he showed up at school wearing them, one of his classmates recognized them as a pair that They had. discarded now on the bright side daniel was a popular kid in school he was a class clown who was never bullied and had the confidence to always be himself but things changed after tragedy happened when he was only 13 years old .

Daniel's father was murdered. and this was just a few steps from the family home that made me rebellious you know what I'm saying it made me angry I don't want to be a superhero I want to be like I want to be a villain villains never die superheroes Always die now Daniel had some serious problems later Following this event, he began to get into trouble at school and was eventually expelled in the eighth grade, at the same time his mother was having even more trouble paying the bills than before, so Daniel began looking for work. help pay the bills he briefly worked as a busboy but was too weak to carry stacks of dishes and ended up being fired he would continue working traditional jobs but when the bills didn't pay while he and his brother subsidized their income through selling drugs He didn't embark on his new family drug business, well, Daniel began spending more time than ever with his brother.

His brother was in a metal band, which exposed Daniel to the music of the genre now at the time he was listening to heavy metal bands like All That Remains and Parkway Drive, which would become some of his earliest musical influences, Unfortunately, drug dealing was not entirely positive at one point, Daniel, had a job at a warehouse and the store owner caught him selling heroin while working at the store. he pulled a bit of a surprise after he was confronted and opted to beat up the store owner, as a result Willie would be charged with selling narcotics and assault and spent time on the notorious prison island, well, rikers island, yikes !, and it wouldn't be the last time.

I'm not allowed, kid, I'm not going to hang out with kids, you guys, what happened? All of this happened when Daniel was still a minor and, fortunately, it served as the wake-up call he needed. From then on, he decided to continue on the right path. Even though this meant he would only find shelter by crashing on the basement floor, but there was something about Takashi that would help propel him to internet fame. He didn't have the uggs on and I have all this, you know, I mean, I couldn't. afford it i wanted it i couldn't afford it growing up he's so small 69 he never trusted wearing designer clothes instead he developed his own unique style something he would eventually use to gain popularity online takashi claims that from the beginning he had several popular instagram accounts, but his accounts were repeatedly deactivated for inappropriate content, as he said.

I am the king of deleting my Instagram. Those were the days when his deactivated accounts didn't prevent images of him from being republished. Photos of him wearing a t-shirt that says "diner." will gain massive attention online to the point where daniel was basically a living meme with more photos of him wearing outlandish clothing frequently appearing on sites. Read it for a probably world star and now you will wonder why he fortunately used the letters hiv. In no way was he making light of the disease to make money. He had several friends who were HIV positive and he used to do the AIDS blockade every year and continued to use the letters HIV outside of the walk as a way to raise awareness. about the impact of the illness he also has the letters tattooed on his back now around 2012 takashi would start dating his baby mom sarah she was also on instagram under the name zara or oxaris it's okay now that you're getting close to her too could you Well, go and follow her now that she got pregnant just two months before he got out of jail and the two had their daughter in series A, this was around July 2015.

And he went and showed her on Instagram several times in the past, despite being considered a SoundCloud rapper, Takashi, did not play the game on the platform, growing his fan base with YouTube videos, but never actually created his own YouTube account until 2018. Everything I would do at the beginning. days was making his music, making his videos and publishing them through a channel called fck them, a label based in Slovakia where takashi has many followers; in fact, the first time he performed well live was during a tour of Eastern Europe in the spring of 2017 and the performance of the first single was a sold-out show in Prague, who knew that Takashi was only 15 years old when he created his first music video.

It was called Six Nine, but unfortunately it was removed from YouTube. In fact, the first videos were all deleted. So apparently he's also the king of deleting YouTube videos of him, as well as the older music video of him that appears to still be available on the Fck Them channel. Well, it appears to be Scum Life which was released in July 2015. That video would not be seen. Massive numbers immediately, but it has since racked up 3.9 million views, so why the scumbag life? Well, scum is another part of takashi's personal brand. Scum means society can't understand me and is a testament to who he believes are his bigots. young social marginalized people who too often are misunderstood by those around them, now children who like him have strong personal identities and do not conform.

Takashi greatly values ​​this, as he excelled in his personal style and would eventually lead to him becoming a good record label. artist, well he started rapping for fun, to be honest with you, takashi said he didn't really want to be a rapper or whatever, i just started making music because everyone was like, "you look crazy, cool." 69 would garner more attention throughout 2016 with tracks like Yokai and Helsing Station. In January 2017 he collaborated with Jake Stash and Zen Black to create Exodia for all of these songs. Well, takashi, he put a lot of effort into making his videos as cool as possible.

Now, when it comes to making music videos, he says that he believes he is the best at what he does and this despite the fact that he also says that he is not really a fan of his own music, while his videos began to attract attention, Takashi also began to pick up a fair amount of hate, he managed to turn these negatives into positives and not only points out his enemies as people who are helping to get his name out there, but he also managed to make friends with beef, apparently during a fight while Trippy was reading, he intervened with a public comment in support of the guy Takashi was attacking.

As soon as takashi saw this he told trippy that he liked his music, now trippy responded in kind saying that he likes what takashi was doing and that very soon the pair would collaborate and their first collaboration would be a music video that would raise Takashi's profile, like never before, pools 1469 appeared on YouTube in April 2017 and since then the music video has received almost 20 million views across YouTube. Now takashi would soon also achieve a collaboration with

famous

decks of the songs xena0.5 and trippy. and takashi will would go on to collaborate on another hit song including owie you know aoi is us i don't know but soon there will be trouble in paradise the biggest scandal in takashi's career so far would start with artist zilla .

Kami, a former associate of Tekashi, according to Takashi, in the past helped take care of Zillow during the summer of 2016, giving him money for food and a place to sleep and, according to Treyway Takashi's manager, the fight started because of an incident during a video. shoot and also a dispute over the use of some beats, but in August 2017 Will Zilla told a very different story according to Zilla Takashi was arrested for statutory rape after sleeping with a 13-year-old girl. Zillow claims he then bonded Cashio to jail. for a whopping 20 thousand dollars that Takashi never returned as evidence of his alleged crimes, while Zilla and other Tekashi detractors began circulating this image and it apparently shows Takashi well with an underage girl.

There is also this image, a screenshot that supposedly shows the charges against him. and the fact that he pleaded guilty it should be taken into account that danielle hernandez is a fairly common name and it is not clear that this rap sheet is actually about takashi plus zillikami. You haven't produced a receipt showing that you actually posted bail for him. Now Tagashi also tried to confront Zilla about the accusations outside a tattoo parlor, but Zilla, well, he refused to come out, I don't know, look, however, he also posted a strange video in which he referred to himself as a happy rapist, yes, after this scandal broke. he decided to distance himself fromalleged rapist now speaking in vile words, sorry brose 1400 doesn't promote pedophiles now, while takashi would deny the accusations, trippy didn't believe it and the artist would continue to exchange blows for years. your entire career doesn't touch a 13 year old you are a pedophile the flesh would even turn violent with trippy being attacked in a nyc hotel lobby after posting a photo of six nine holding hands with another man , now Takashi took to Instagram practically confirming that he was one. of his affiliates said: I don't know what's going on, but I feel really bad about it, your chin is bruised, you just can't be out here calling people gay, bro, you should put some ice on it because it's bruised, I feel bad . bro he also ended the video saying i just want you to be my friend again man 2018 is the year the gangster despite fighting with the guy who helped project him into the spotlight well takashi moved on and left drop the song gummo on October 8, 2017.

In less than a month the track would accumulate more than 15.6 million views, became certified platinum by the riaa and reached number 12 on the billboard hot 100. In fact, my 14 year old nephew is obsessed, he plays this all the time and now Takashi was very proud of the song, calling it the second most popular song in New York, that's right, there was a song, well, he thought it was better, okay, no I'm going to downplay cardi b like this, cardi b got the most popular album right now, six and nine would be released under the singles cuda and kiki, both. certified gold and would be included on his first official mixtape Day 69, which was released in February 2018.

Now the project would be certified gold and peak at number four on the Billboard 200. It would also include tracks like gummo gotti rondo and billy and more Hits would follow with Tati and Skittles as his career reached new heights behind the scenes Takashi continued to have numerous fights He was in and out of court for his sexual misconduct charges He acquired new beasts with Chicago's top artist Keef and Little Reese Then , in July of 2018, well,

they

kidnapped him, they also beat him up and robbed him of over 750,000 worth of custom jewelry, also thirty-five thousand dollars in cash, it happened so fast like, oh, all I saw was the gun in my face and that's it. this was me when i woke up i was in the backseat of a car at the time he was kidnapped i had just finished recording a new music video with nicki minaj and murder beats this would be for his platinum single fifi and this was his the most sign high on the charts so far, peaking at number three on the US rap charts, US rap charts and hip-hop charts and on the hot 100, that's three in the Three, as for the rest of the story, well, I guess we'll just have to wait and see, or you.

I can see it on their Instagram every day, it's a show and I'm sure in the future we will do it after they are famous and then we will talk about more problems and more success and probably tattoo removal.
