On his official full-length debut,
Dummy Boy, New York rapper
6ix9ine delivers an energized and aggressive set packed with verbal threats and intense production to get his hollow points across. In the process, he also manages to pull a team of high-profile guests into his orbit, including
Lil Baby,
Tory Lanez,
A Boogie wit da Hoodie,
Gunna, and even
Nicki Minaj and
Kanye West, who both appear on "Mama," one of the album's standouts. Elsewhere, rowdy cuts like "Stoopid," "Tati," and "Wondo" inject
Dummy Boy with mosh-worthy vitriol, while lighter, island-inspired breaks with
Anuel AA ("Bebe" and "Mala") offer respite. ~ Neil Z. Yeung
