Romeo & Juliet. The Starry Night. The Creation of Adam. The Picture of Dorian Grey. The Mona Lisa. The Scream. The Godfather. Twin Peaks. And now, DAY69.
Over thousands of years humanity has produced some astonishing works of art, and yet Michelangelo, Shakespeare, Picasso, and David Lynch can only merely cower before the might and genius of Daniel Hernandez, also known as 6ix9ine.
On February 23rd in 2018, 6ix9ine blew the rap world away with his instant classic debut mixtape, "DAY69". Featuring ingenious cover art featuring Hernandez depicted as a cartoon character in the style of the Cartoon Network series "Adventure Time", the album completely demolished all of the competition and proved that 6ix9ine is not just another pretty face, but a soulful, clever and contemplative young man trying to find his place in the world and trying to find himself as a true and vulnerable artist in a world that no longer values genuine triumph.
After a touching introduction by fellow Nobel laureate Michael K. Williams, Hernandez launches into a brutal assault on the opening track "BILLY", taking a powerful and staunch stand against all the thoughtless gang violence being committed in today's society. His observations ring hauntingly true, and provide a brilliant intro to the harsh political commentary and gorgeous lyricism that would become the hallmark of this iconic album.
On "GUMMO", Hernandez once again dives into the world of Bloods and Crips, of crack dealers and authorities taking advantage of poor communities, of crying mothers and children being murdered in the streets. Like John Lennon before him, he plants his feet firmly in the ground to condemn violence in all forms, pleading with his former gang brothers to stop fighting and to "put down the sticky, blicky".

"RONDO" focuses entirely on the kinds of sexual activity that often happen in the ghettos like the the one Hernandez grew up in. Featuring a smooth, sensual hook from an emotionally raw Tory Lanez (with some assistance from the evasive and electric Young Thug), the track tells a devastating story about a drug-addled but kind prostitute named Rondo, who slowly loses touch with reality as she tragically descends into a maddening world of addiction.
Borrowing from the classic internet term "kek", Hernandez, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie and Fetty Wap come in hard with the fourth track, "KEKE". As they slyly bob and flow to the beat, bouncing off each other like young schoolboys freestyling on the playground, they take clever aim at the current state of police brutality and the military-industrial complex in American society, exposing it for the utterly corrupt and oppressive system it really is.
Named after the amount of friends he's lost to the scourge of modern suicide among young people, Hernandez takes a step back on "93" to contemplate the very nature of humanity and of depression, wondering whether or not all the hardships in life are really worth it while reminiscing about the loved ones he's lost. It is on this track where Hernandez really begins to expose his emotional core as a romantic and a thinker, one who doesn't just stare at the injustices of the world we live in and mentally discard them, but one who looks at the problems around him and wonders how he can try, in his own way, to solve them.
With "DOOWEE", Hernandez sets his sights on fellow SoundCloud rapper and MacArthur Genius Lil Pump, brilliantly mocking the stupidity and simplicity of his extraordinarily repetitive lyrics with an earworm repetition of his own, mindlessly crowing "Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah" over and over again as he absolutely decimates his rival and former friend.
