Akademiks started up a relationship with 6ix9ine well before he was rap's most notorious nark, yet it wasn't precisely deliberate. It was 2017 and 6ix9ine had recently dropped his breakout single "GUMMO." With his rainbow-shaded hair and troublemaker tasteful, 6ix9ine was piling up the YouTube sees — and Akademiks was focusing.
That relationship began when I was paying attention to his music," Akademiks tells HipHopDX in a new telephone interview. "Never met him yet, however I'm knocking to the melody 'GUMMO.' I'm like, 'Goodness, this is fire.' I was only a general fan. Furthermore, I set up on my story and expressed something like, 'Yo, this will be perhaps the greatest tune since Bobby Shmurda's 'Hot N-gga.'
"I got connected with by some arbitrary individual. It was a person with a penguin as a logo. I'm serious as a heart attack. A penguin was the main picture on his page, however he was confirmed. I got out, 'Whatever the hell is this?' It was like the illuminati connecting. He was like, 'Yo, I'm happy you like 6ix9ine. He's endorsed to us. We ought to talk at a certain point.'"
Akademiks was co-facilitating Everyday Struggle at that point and had flown out to Long Beach for work. Once more, a similar man connected and needed to meet face to face at Delilah's in Los Angeles. Fairly distrustful, Akademiks chose to take the gathering at any rate.
"Individuals think since they hear my name a ton that I'm continuously doing industry stuff, however I truly carry on with an exceptionally customary life," he says. "I don't spend time with industry individuals since I never truly persuaded a chance to be helped by them to get into where I'm at. So I'm not the individual who's like, 'Presently, I'm here. Allow me just to hang out at your gatherings and party with ya'll.' I would truly prefer not to associate with you. I like to live exceptionally segregated."
Strolling into the eatery with his company, Akademiks saw maker Steve Stoute, Hot 97 radio personality Ebro Darden, a few industry leaders and, obviously, the man he should meet.
"The person was like, 'Yo, I'll get you and your group a lot of beverages,'" he makes sense of. "Presently you certainly stood out. What's more, he was like, 'I'm happy you like the 6ix9ine record.' I'm like, 'For what reason isn't this popping off as of now?' So he lets me know a lot of issues with it. According to he, 'Yo, I believe that you should help me. I believe you should offer me guidance on the best way to manage this on a PR side." And I said, 'Indeed's, several issues with him.' And at that point, 6ix9ine, there was a weighty cloud about like his kid sexual offense, that case.
"I shared with the person, 'All things considered, I will simply tell the truth. I don't have any idea why this melody isn't out formally. That is one issue. However, number two, you can't actually post him via online entertainment. I posted him one time since he looks crazy and crap like that. I posted him and Instagram erased it and it was erased due to mass announcing. Individuals can't stand him.'"
Uncertain of what to do straightaway, Akademiks recommended he ought to plan a meeting for 6ix9ine with an end goal to refine him. He additionally advised him to fix the issues with the melody. After fourteen days, Akademiks was back in New York when he got a call from the one who tells him, "Yo, we accepted your recommendation. Yo, you're astounding." The main issue was they could't find anybody able to talk with 6ix9ine, so Akademiks wound up doing it without anyone else's help — in spite of his hesitations about it.
Meeting 6ix9ine interestingly, Akademiks was astonished by his unassuming attitude and ended up doing various meetings that day.
"Truly, why the companionship even began was on the grounds that we completed three meetings that day," he says. "Furthermore, we did the first since I needed to say, 'Yo, simply talk. Simply tell your side and tell your reality.' And he talked. His director ran on a while later and said, 'I could do without that.' They believed him should be somewhat more prearranged. They simply needed essentially something not credible."
