If you're in the mood for a night of hard-hitting HipHop hits, then mark May 2 on your calendar. Firebrand American rapper 6ix9ine announced he will perform a single show in Israel this spring.
The show is set to be held at Rishon Lezion's Live Park Amphitheater, with ticket prices starting at NIS 300 ($85).
The rapper, also known as Tekashi and born Daniel Hernandez, hails from Brooklyn and first emerged in 2017 with hit single "Gummo," which has amassed over 800 million views on YouTube. His collaboration with Nicki Minaj on the song "Fefe," has surpassed a billion views on the video sharing platform.
He had taken a hiatus from after being convinced on racketeering charges and sentenced to two years in prison. He was denounced by some in the Hip Hop community over "snitching," after Hernandez he had helped prosecutors send several of his former gang associates in the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods to prison.
Tekashi's debut album Day69 made it to the top of the billboard charts and so did his follow-up album Dummy Boy, but it's his live performances that produce incredible energy, and his upcoming Israel show will be no exception.
His unique, aggressive and explosive style is combined with a public persona that is characterized by his distinctive rainbow-colored hair, extensive tattoos and publicized celebrity feuds. Whether you're long time fans or just hearing about him for the first time and your curiosity is piqued, this is a show you don't want to miss.
The evening will also guest star Israeli rappers Peled, Shahar Soul, Eden Derso and others.
