WH6TEB6YFRMTHE6 & RIICCH ARE BUILDING A NEW WAVE OFF A MEGAMAN SAMPLE

Toronto does not need another copy paste record.

WH6TEB6YFRMTHE6 and Riicch know that. That is why their upcoming track “DT Crush” is not just another street anthem. It is built on a Megaman sample, produced by Nerfjayy, blending raw rap energy with a video game classic blending hip-hop and nostalgia. They are not stopping at just the record. They are building their own lane!

The vision is simple but strategic. Combine music with video game and anime samples and turn it into a recognizable sound. Something that hits the streets but also taps into the culture that raised this generation. Gaming. Anime. Internet era nostalgia. Instead of chasing whatever sound is trending in the city, they are stitching two worlds together. Creating their own sound.

The production leans into that Megaman energy. Dark, Fast, & slightly chaotic. It feels like a boss battle soundtrack but with Toronto grit layered on top. Riicch floats with confidence while WH6TEB6YFRMTHE6 brings that masked intensity that already has people paying attention.

What makes this different is the intent. They are not sampling for shock value. They are not trying to go viral off nostalgia bait. The goal is consistency. Build a catalog around this hybrid sound. Make it recognizable. Make it theirs.

If they execute properly, this could become more than a one off record. It could become a subculture inside the city. Artists have borrowed from rage beats, from drill, from jersey. But a structured video game and anime sample lane coming out of Toronto? That is largely untouched territory. And they are doubling down visually.

The “DT Crush” video is already in the works. If the visuals match the concept, expect heavy references, coded aesthetics, and world building instead of a basic performance clip. That is the part most artists miss. Sound alone does not build a movement. Aesthetic does.

Toronto has always thrived when artists create worlds, not just songs.

The bigger question is this. Can they turn this into a repeatable formula and make people associate that sound with their names instantly?

Because if they can, they are not just dropping a record. They are planting the flag for a new wave.
