We received the tragic news of underground rapper and Soundcloud legend's 6 Dogs passing today. The rapper died from an apparent suicide at the age of 21, leaving fans and peers heartbroken over the news. He was coming up as a prominent force in the emo-rap scene and worked with the likes of Lil Skies and Cole Bennett. After blowing up in 2016, singles like "Faygo Dreams" and "Flossing" became anthems among his fanbase which was only growing with each release.
