Several of the beats are fun, and the guest verses provide a much needed spark of life. If your first language is, say, Russian or Chinese, then you might enjoy the musicality of some of 6ix9ine’s verses even though they blur together. Unfortunately, Dummy Boy is not improved with a knowledge of English, and indeed that might be an obstacle to enjoying the album.
On his official full-length debut, Dummy Boy, troubled New York rapper 6ix9ine delivers much of the same exaggerated and empty content that assisted his speedy but controversial rise in the late 2010s.
Even listeners who blithely tune out 6ix9ine’s extra-musical controversies may find Dummy Boy rough-going.
Dummy Boy has a handful of highlights, but 6ix9ine barely shows up for many of the tracks, leaving them to be made or broken by the features.

6ix9ine slaps us in the face with one of the most creatively uninspired, low effort and broken album experiences of the year. Sounding like a watered down version of the already painful “Day69”, it contains just the right mix of awkward performances, mind numbing lyrics and shitty instrumentals to make anyone wonder how the fuck this guy has any following at all.
