In the 19^th edition of Bangerz N Bopz (2025), we break down “Buttcheeks” performed by 6 Dogs.

“Eyes wide open / Drowning, I’m choking / Worry ‘bout a butt cheek / Bitch, you can miss me.” Sadly, 6 Dogs (Ronald Chase Amick) died at just 21 years old in 2021. His major-label debut single, “Buttcheeks”, released in 2018, showcases his immense potential.  At the time, the Atlanta rapper was still a teenager. The interestingly titled “Buttcheeks” was written by Amick, benny blanco, Cashmere Cat, and Romy (Romy Madley Croft). Blanco and Cashmere Cat produced it.

“Buttcheeks” commences with enigmatic instrumental sounds.  As the song develops, it adds marvelous drum programming.  The beat is ‘non troppo’ but provides a terrific anchor. 6 Dogs delivers clear, easygoing melodic vocals in the chorus. Notably, Amick sounds as if he ‘floats’ as he raps, embracing cloud rap to the nth degree. The first verse is simple, mellow, melodic, and features few words. One of the cool references is to the short-lived television show Freaks and Geeks: “Monte Carlo creaking / Loud pack reeking / Yeah, I feel like I’m Bill, whoa / ‘Cause they way that I’m geeking.” Woo! The second verse is patterned similarly to the first. “Teardrops on a keyboard / Non-stop to the top floor,” he raps, adding, “Crocodile drop top / Wipe your eyes, yeah, you’ll see more.” The bridge features some cool vocal effects and some of the most intriguing lyrics: “‘Cause I think it was laced /… Fuck, it was laced / Hit the ground with my face / At least it’s Persian”).  On “Buttcheeks”, 6 Dogs perfectly captures his emotions and highness.  Furthermore, he gets a killer Cole Bennett-directed music video, intact with, you guessed it, butt cheeks.  They are censored, though.  R.I.P. Ronald.
