6ix9ine hinted at retiring from rap earlier this week on Instagram, saying he's "accomplished everything i dreamed of in five months," and then wiped his Instagram account clean. However, amid the controversial rapper's current court issues, he returned Tuesday (April 10) with his newest single "Gotti" to hold fans over until he makes his official return.
On "Gotti," 6ix9ine soars over colorful, shimmering synths and trades in his usual raucous flow for a more melodic sound as he raps about grinding so his family and friends can live comfortably now that he's attained so much success. "I pray to God that my n---as gon' eat/ I pray to God that my family gon' see/ Prayin' that the lord take a chance with me/ Wouldn't come when I was up."
