Tekashi 6ix9ine is currently sitting behind bars, awaiting trial for his racketeering and firearms charges. He's not here to promote the album, but the fact that he's currently jailed might play a factor in the commercial success of DUMMY BOY. Although he never earned his rightfully earned number one album, the rapper's still doing numbers on the chart. DUMMY BOY showcased the various styles of 6ix9ine: his aggressive rapping style, his autotune-laden radio hits, and of course, his Latin pop sounds. The rapper collaborated with Anuel AA on two songs -- the previously released "BEBE" and "MALA." The latter of which serves as Tekashi 6ix9ine's latest single to enter the Hot Latin Songs chart.
