Shinigami (死神)

Shinigami (死神)

6ix9ine (Ft. Bodega Bamz)

“Shinigami (死神)” is an early 2015 collaboration between a young 6ix9ine and fellow underground New York rapper, Bodega Bamz. It serves as the opening track of Tekashi’s first mixtape, SCUMMY SCUMZ.
According to Ancient Origins, Shinigami (or “Gods of death”) are Japanese supernatural figures that personify death. The term found new popularity thanks to popular anime Death Note, which features Shinigami as recurring characters.


6ix9ine is referring to himself and Bodega Bamz as Shinigami, or bringers of death, as a reference to their readiness to kill.
