The New York-born MC also tapped Angel Dior, one of the hottest artists out of the DR right now.

6ix9ine is traveling a lot these days as he's shooting for a lot of new music videos and material. Of course, many see this as a way to sidestep his recent gym beatdown and return to the public eye in a less embarrassing way. Regardless of those assumptions, the New York MC will likely see plenty of success for his new material, especially as it switches up what he's usually known for. This time, he popped out at the Dominican Republic drawing a huge crowd in the neighborhood. It seems like his song is a commercial blend of pop and Latin-inspired sounds like reggaetón.

Whether you like his new output or not, it's clear that 6ix9ine is really trying to appeal to another market entirely. Still, his previous collaborations with Anuel AA (which haven't aged all that well considering their beef) also hinted towards other sounds that weren't aggressive trap bangers. As such, maybe he just wants to develop other parts of his career further. Despite detractors, it doesn't hurt that said market grows every day, from what it seems.

Meanwhile, 6ix9ine also tapped one of the hottest artists from the Dominican Republic of the moment. In a social media clip, the rainbow-haired artist gives a massive chain to Angel Dior, a rising dembow artist known for his incredibly fast flows, nasal inflections, and often comical bars. With these new connections in the DR and other countries in the Caribbean, it seems he's really trying to tap into his Latino roots. For those who are unaware, Daniel Hernandez is of Puerto Rican and Mexican descent. Whether it's for the clicks or out of genuine interest, the 26-year-old might be a major player in the Latin space in some time.

Regardless, the "FEFE" artist is also trying to stay varied in his explorations. For example, he recently previewed a new video filmed in Uganda that also goes along these genre-blurring lines. With that in mind, maybe the resurgence of 6ix9ine in the music world will look much different than his come-up, which will start a heated conversation of its own.
