His real name was Jahsen Dwayne Ricardo Onfroy.
Xxx was raised by his grandmother at the age of six; he had almost killed a man because he abused his mom.
His carreer began on Twitter and Sound Cloud (he had about 300k followers).
He lived his life breaking the law, and this behavior gave him an unmistakable air of authenticity.
In 2014 he published his first video but received only negative comments, he didn't give up and began to publish many songs, until in 2015 he published Look At Me and he got a great success.
His music style is a mixture of hip pop and emo.
But on 18 june 2018, at the exit of a bike shop, he got hit by gunshots of weapon fire, he moved to the hospital and a few hours later they announced his death.
We have decided to tell his story because in recent times all media have talked a lot about his death and we have been really impressed about his life's story beacuse it is very difficult an troubled, his story fully represents what rap is and many stories of famous rappers resemble his story, which we would also like to try.

6ix9ine

The 4 strangers

Daniel Hernandez was born on May 8, 1996 in Brooklyn. He is an american rapper and he is professionally known as 6ix9ine or Tekashi69. He is known for his power screaming technique in some of his songs.
6ix9ine became famous thanks to his debut single "GUMMO" in 2017. His first album was Day69 and he entered in the Top Ten for his first time with his song "FEFE" featured with Nicki Minaj. 6ix9ine was born to a Mexican mother and a Puerto Rican father and raised by both until the age of 13 and then he grew up alongside his brother.
When 6ix9ine was young he had various jobs and sold marijuana to help his family financially. He had trouble with the law, for example he was accused of a sexual contact with a 13-years-old girl. In our opinion 6ix9ine is a strange person but at the same time he has made a career and has become very famous.
His first apparition in Italy was at Number1's club and we went to see him and we liked it so much. We appreciate that he does a lot of donations to help poor people. We have chosen him because of those things and his popularity. His appearence is unconventional, he has tattoos of the number 69 in different parts of his body and has a tattoo of an evil clown and a spiderweb on his face. He bought a mouth guard composed by diamonds. He spends a lot of money for jewerly and diamonds watches and he likes showing he has a lot of money. His behaviour is very strange because sometimes he makes music videos without his clothes on and sometimes his dances are ridiculous but the most strange thing of him is that he has a multicolour haircut.
Our favourite song is "FEFE" because of the music sound and because this is a collaboration with Nicki Minaj. We waited him at Number1 Club and it was awesome. We were in the queue for 2 hours because a huge crowd was there. After that concert the club was shut down to the public because that night some security laws were violated. In our opinion 6ix9ine will become more famous than now and one of the best singers in the 21th century.

Sweet stars

After a stressful and hot school day, I missed the bus to go home. Waiting for the next one, I saw an Indian friend passing by, she saw me and came to greet me. I was so hungry that I asked her if she knew any good restaurant to have lunch. On the way she told me that her dream was to take me to India: an imaginary trip to a foreign country! That's what she did... ! She took me to a magical Indian restaurant to taste some special dishes. When we arrived there, I thought we were in another world: it was all decorated with flowers on the walls. At the entrance of the restaurant, a waiter dressed in a white tunic welcomed us and kindly brought us to our table. There was a very good smell!
