Daniel Hernandez, professionally known as Teka$hi69 or Tekashi69, is a Mexican-American rapper and meme who is based in Brooklyn. He has collaborated extensively with Trippie Redd, Famous Dex, Bodega Bamz, and DALYB. Teka$hi originally hails from Bushwick and is of both Mexican and Puerto Rican descent. His mother is from Mexico and his father is Puerto Rican. Growing up, he listened to heavy metal bands such as All That Remains and Parkway Drive. He stopped going to school in 8th grade when he got expelled. When he was 13, his father was murdered. After his father died, he got a job as a busboy to help his mother out. He also had multiple hustles including working at a bodega and selling weed just to make it by. Teka$hi69 started rapping after he was encouraged by several of his peers. That year, he collaborated with Bodega Bamz who said of him:
"My n—- is insane. He’s like a mixture of Danny Brown and Odd Future. His s— is crazy. I think because of the shock value that he brings, he’s gonna be one of those artists that you wont be able to turn the TV off to." Teka$hi69 does not have an official SoundCloud or YouTube account and has been releasing videos exclusively through the Slovakian label F*ckthem. In the spring of 2017, he went on his first tour through Europe. Hernandez tries to have a unique aesthetic and attempts to have different themes in his music videos including Street Fighter and Grand Theft Auto (game). Hernandez is slated to release a mixtape in late 2017. Teka$hi69 went to jail for selling heroin outside a store and then beating up the owner of the store, he has several priors before that. He was working in the bodega and selling heroin at the same time. He was a minor at the time and went to jail for a few months. After getting out of jail, he kept out of trouble and focused more on his music career.
