It's been an eventful month for Tekashi 6ix9ine -- in both good and bad ways -- but that hasn't stopped him from continuing to push forward. In June, the rapper made his way to Europe for his "World Domination" tour which seems to have gone well with the exception of his cancelled shows in England. Nonetheless, 6ix9ine's been killing it. The rapper linked up with Berlin-based emcee GRiNGO while he was in Europe and it looks like the two of them have some heat on their hands. Today, they release their new track, "ZKITTLEZ."

GRiNGO and Tekashi 6ix9ine get together for their new track, "ZKITTLEZ." The song was produced by DJ Goldfinger. While Tekashi 6ix9ine handles his verse in English, GRiNGO comes through with a bit of English and German in his verse. However, this might be the best rapping we've heard from 6ix9ine since he came out. On "ZKITTLEZ," Tekashi 6ix9ine audibly raps on the track without yelling but his screams are layered underneath his vocals as a double.

The release of "ZKITTLEZ" follows Tekashi 6ix9ine's "FEFE" with Nicki Minaj. The song is now 6ix9ine's highest charting track on the Billboard Hot 100 as it debuted at number 4. Clearly, 6ix9ine is running with his momentum.

Quotable Lyrics
8 Ball like poolhalls, crack like the pavement
Diesel like the gas station, trap out the basement
Blow in the Pyrex, masks on our faces
Let 'em act sketch but this lead will erase 'em on gang
