8takkemdown_556 is a rising artist who turned personal tragedy into powerful music. After losing his cousin to cancer in 2022, he chose to take a different path in life — one that led him straight into the studio and onto the mic.
His debut single “Kick Bakk” on YouTube marked the start of a journey fueled by emotion, ambition, and raw talent. Soon after, he dropped his first full-length album “8 vs Key” across all major platforms — a statement of intent that he’s here to stay.

8 shows his versatility by effortlessly switching between drill anthems and slow melodies, proving that no matter the tempo, he can punch the beat with precision and feeling. His music video “Not Gone Lie” on YouTube is already making noise, while tracks like “Under the Lights” continue to showcase his evolving sound and storytelling ability.
And he’s not slowing down. This week, he’s releasing “Free Osmab”, followed closely by three more singles — “3AM,” “My Self,” and “I’m Rollen.” With two more albums planned this month, 8takkemdown_556 is showing work ethic, vision, and hunger unmatched in many new artists.
From loss came purpose. From the pain came power. And from the streets to the studio, 8takkemdown_556 is here to let the world know he’s not backing down.
