With cosigns from everyone such as Lil Yachty and Vince Staples, along with appearances on Complex, WIRED, and the No Jumper Podcast, it’s clear that Teejayx6’s time is now. And the scary part? He’s just getting better and better.

Before he was a rapper, Teejayx6 was a scammer. In elementary school (first grade is when he credits his first scam), he floated towards money like a cartoon dog, precariously moving in the direction of a fresh steak’s scent. He began rapping a couple of years ago and initially didn’t get much traction. It was because he hadn’t yet figured out how to separate himself, with his early rhymes being about drug-dealing. So, studying the game, and then reinventing himself, he turned to what he really knew about: making money quickly in creative ways. Also read as scamming. Listen to “Invest.” Or even “Crypto.” Teejayx6’s style is consistently heavy and hot to handle. He brings freestyled punchlines that always fit together cohesively, dropping gems about using protection while having sex or even the kind of dinosaurs that his grandfather shot at during World War 2. There’s an unpredictable element to his rhymes that make you tune in, even if he isn’t spitting about something illegal. He understands how to captivate with his unique inflections and pronunciations that have catapulted his songs from tens of thousands of views on YouTube to hundreds of thousands – some, even millions.
On YouTube he’s a star; his music video for “Website Scamming” has 1.3 million views in three months and “Profiles” has 1.1 million in near the same time frame. He recently released “BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD” with frequent collaborator Kasher Quon and that has 291,000 views. Their earlier collaboration, “ Dynamic Duo,” which played a huge part in Teejayx6’s catapult to fame, sits at 2 million views in five months. To be a completely independent artist like this who’s done video breakdowns with Genius and frequently connects with fans on viral Instagram Live videos, it’s groundbreaking to see. There’s no gimmicks, no manufactured beef, or anything silly when it comes to Teejayx6. Fans truly love him.
Teejayx6 is at the entry point to a vast career in the rap game that’s going to change the way that people view not only Detroit, but rap music itself. As he continues to grow and carve his own unique lane in the industry, he’s going to continue keeping fans’ minds blown with his individualistic style and implementation. And while you’re distracted, he’ll help himself to your wallet.
