Before long, Tekashi's antics and affiliations caught up with him, leading to a major police investigation that tore apart his team and saw him squarely behind bars, facing a life in prison. A thrilling true crime narrative set in the contemporary hip-hop world, Dummy Boy draws on dozens of exclusive interviews with collaborators, associates, and witnesses, to provide a detailed account of the most beguiling and intriguing story in modern music. More than a biography, Dummy Boy is an American crime story, a critical examination of internet trolling in the Trump era, and an exploration of the long-running connection between rap, gangs, and police in New York City.

He is the author of the book 'Complex Presents Dummy Boy: Tekashi 6ix9ine and the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods', which is his first book. Shawn joins the show to discuss the new book and his career.

Il a abandonné le Lo-Fi floridien ghetto pour de la pop décevante façon Tomorrowland. À la différence de sa précédente mixtape façon « American Pie », l’ado star n’a même plus l’air de s’amuser dans son album « Harverd Dropout ». Difficile à croire qu’il a passé un an et demi sur ces titres édulcorés aux refrains certes addictifs mais qui ont l’air d’avoir été bouclés entre deux dates dans un tour bus.Aussi importante que son album, sa com à base de mèmes de Merkel, de stories Instagram cartoonesques et de clips pyrotechniques se rapproche davantage d’une fausse télé réalité.

Your name is one of the most important things you will ever have in your life. Potential allies, enemies, employers, and loves interests glean from it a glimpse into your upbringing, culture, and status in society. A name passed down from an influential and wealthy grandfather can open doors without you ever having to lift a finger to turn the knob, while a quote unquote “ethnic” name that originates from a culture of lower standing in the hierarchy of the class, or caste system of society, can close those doors just as quickly. In the world of Hip-Hop, we choose our names carefully, piecing them together from names we acquired from our neighborhoods, attributes that we embody or aspire to become, and role models, whether fictional or nonfictional, that have some quality that appeals to us. Throughout the conversations that we’ve had with various artists in the Hip-Hop world, we’ve gotten to hear the fascinating origin stories of their names. On this episode, we take a look back though our conversations with Stone Mecca, Shawn Setaro, Born King, Joker The Bailbondsman, Cole James Cash, and Gemstones about how they got their names, but before that we have a clip of Channel 10 Podcast co host Singodsuperior explaining his name, a name which I’m sure many of you have probably wondered about.
