In the absence of knowing next Wednesday the final sentence in the trial of Six Nine (who has been imprisoned since November 2018), this 2019 has been an excellent year in terms of reproductions of his songs on Spotify. It is curious to say the least that, despite the prison (and despite the "snitch" accusations that, in theory, were going to cause the destruction of 6ix 9ine's career), the rapper has managed to be on top of Spotify's most listened to artists in 2019 along with other big names such as the sadly deceased Lil Peep, XXXTentacion, Juice Wrld, as well as (with a difference), Drake, Post Malone and Eminem. Yes: 6IX9INE numbers on Spotify number in the millions and millions.
DJ Akademiks, who was his friend and main spokesperson in media and social networks, has published the full statistics of the reproductions of Six Nine on Spotify during this 2019. This is very interesting news in the 6ix9ine world because access to this data is very restricted. We are talking about the section Spotify for Artists, available only for the exclusive use of the rapper and his trusted people. Given how close DJ Akademiks has always been to Six Nine, it's understandable that he (or someone close to him) gave him access to this private stats section to make one thing clear: 6ix9ine isn't even jailed:
Spotify's 6IX9INE Statistics in 2019
As we can see in this very interesting summary of the year 2019 of SixNine, Being in prison has not been a reason for the reproductions of 6IX9INE to have been reduced in the least. In summary, this is the table:
- More than a billion streamed songs from 6ix9ine in 2019
- More than 45 million hours played
- Almost 61 million users have listened to 6Ix9ine's music in 2019
- The rapper has been present in accounts of 79 countries
If Tekashi 69 can put up these stratospheric numbers while in prison, what won't he be able to do? in case the judge pays attention to the request of the Prosecutor's Office and applies a reduction in prison sentence to Six Nine? We will be very attentive to all the news. The horizon is full of interesting news for the young Daniel Hernández.
Who is the friend of 6ix9ine DJ AKADEMIKS?
DJ Akademiks is a unique guy. Like so many others, he started from his room with a YouTube channel. On this channel he dedicated himself to commenting (without showing his face) news from the world of XXXTentacion, Lil Peep, Drake and, of course, Six Nine. draw the attention of a large communication group: Complex.
Until a few months ago, the well-known friend of Six Nine was (and still is) an active informer on all the news related to the world of American hip hop and, especially, with news related to 6ix9ine. In addition to his incessant activity in Instagram, DJ Akademiks stands out for his participation in the Complex YouTube channel in the program Everyday Struggle (very well known following the termination of rapper Joe Budden last year). Now, DJ Akademiks is also known for his unusual facet as a rapper under the pseudonym Lil Ak.
Lil Ak is not Six Nine
Fortunately or unfortunately, it seems that Akademiks is not doing very well musically. His unstoppable rise in popularity on the networks due to his facet as a communicator (and a trusted friend of Six Nine) has not helped him earn the respect he believes he deserves. DJ Akademiks has been called a "fake" and a "clown" as soon as Lil Ak has stepped on the microphone.
All the videos that he has published so far on YouTube (with songs that follow the basic premises of current American trap) are full of comments such as: «You are a fraud who hides behind the excuse that you do all this joking and joking: Deep down, you want to be a rapper like SixNine, but you don't dare admit it." Here is an example of Lil Ak's music.
In the humble opinion of this website, we infinitely appreciate the informative work that DJ Akademiks does around the world of rap. As for his musical side, for now we are not interested: he should show us something new and, for now, their music reeks of cheap copy of Six Nine, Migos & Co.. Without a doubt, the mark of influence that 6ix9ine is leaving on hip hop culture is great and will be long remembered.
Remember: Next Wednesday, December 18, we will know the final sentence of 6ix9ine and we will know how many years in prison his sentence will be. If he is finally convicted. With this boy it has already been shown that anything is possible. His life far exceeds the norms of fiction.
