Hennessy Artistry featuring Young 6ixx, DJ Yasmin, LapSap & VJ Spacebar
As party animals and the photo evidence attest, Hennessy Artistry featuring Starz Angels and Caprice, which took place on 23 April, was a smashing success. Barely two months later, and the organisers are at it again—there’s no rest for the wicked and isn’t that awesome?
Check out the headliner: a young rapper who goes by the name of Young 6ixx. Young 6ixx (real name Danny Johnson) will defy your perception of young rappers. He relates in an interview that growing up in the West Coast of the States was a lot like what you see on TV and movies. Gangs ruled the streets and violence was rampant but he adds, “there are kids who don’t go down that route, and those are the guys I’m trying to represent [with my music].”
His dad was part of a gang, and 6ixx himself spent years in the Armed Forces; so you won’t find references of drive-by shootings or any ass-kicking in his songs. But rest assured, the love for the ladies still remains—just check out the video to his song “Devil In A Dress”! Based in Germany, 6ixx admits that his relocation has to do with differentiating himself from the typical rapper. His appearance for Hennessy Artistry marks his first in our fair nation—although, we were amused to discover on his MySpace that we were named Maylaysia and Kula Lumpar! Spellcheck maladies aside, we’re still pretty excited to catch what this self-admitted shy guy has to offer.
Not forgetting, there’s Jakarta’s gorgeous DJ Yasmin behind the decks, offering some eye and ear candy. Armed with electro, progressive, tribal and tech-house tunes, Yasmin is dance royalty in Indonesia and has spun at top clubs like Embrio Jakarta, X1 Bogor, Embassy and Amare Bandung. And we have got to be there for our local boys don’t we? LapSap will bring their indie/electro to the fore and visuals by VJ Spacebar will make everything look even better. Admission is by invitation only, so get yours at www.hennessyartistry.com.my.
