6

Released on June 6, 2023, '6' represents a pivotal moment in BabyTron's prolific career, arriving as his second full-length project of that year. While he initially gained notoriety as a pioneer of 'scam rap' and a member of the ShittyBoyz, this album finds him refining his craft within the broader Detroit rap renaissance. The project is notable for its increased focus on traditional song structures, including the rare inclusion of melodic hooks, which contrasts with his earlier reputation for rambling, hook-less verses. Produced with the signature bouncy and edgy aesthetic of Detroit's top beatmakers, the album features technical showcases like '100 Bars' and 'Eobard Thawne.' It solidified his position as a comic foil to the city's more serious street rappers, using deadpan humor and adolescent stoner TV references to cloak his genuine lyrical dexterity.
