*6PC MCNUGGET - EP* is the third project and EP by music duo Gang Shloink. It was released on the 10th of June 2021 under Snoot Records. It has six tracks, one of them being an intro, and it features no guest appearances.

## **Background**

Gang Shloink came up with the concept of the *6PC MCNUGGET - EP* in early June of 2021, which was to make an EP completely from scratch in a certain time limit. The duo was originally going to make this time limit six hours, but since this would not be enough time to make an entire EP that was somewhat decent, they decided to go with 12 hours, however, they actually completed the EP in about 11 hours, hence the title of the intro track, 11HR - INTRO. The project was made completely from scratch from 6pm on the 9th of June 2021, till 5am on the 10th of June 2021, the EP being released later on that same day. The name of the EP was inspired by 6LACK’s 2021 EP *6PC HOT EP*, and as the duo’s EP was also a collection of 6 tracks, the name felt very fitting, and McNuggets being chosen on the basis of cos fonny.

The EP was supposed to feature a verse from DeArti, however, he could not make it to iCue's house, where the entire EP was made, during the short window of the creation of this project.

## **Singles & Cover**

The EP had no singles, as the project was released on the day of its completion.

The cover of the EP is a photo of the duo (iCue on the left, and Lil Bruh on the right), taken by Microman at Sand Patch I (Sand Lot), in February of that year. The cover was created by Lil Bruh on the morning of the project’s release. The cover features Qusay in the center-bottom part of the cover.

## **Style**

*6PC MCNUGGET - EP* was truly revolutionary for Gang Shloink, as it debuted their now famous “GS” type beats on tracks such as *RETARD RELAPSE*, *NUTS*, and *3AM IN AL ZEINA*. This style being iconic by it’s use of bass instead of the traditional 808’s, vocal samples as a part of the melody, and a very synth-heavy reliance in the production. The other two songs from the project had two very different styles, as *CUM ON MY WRIST* featured a beat reminiscent of “2017 Soundcloud screamo rap”, populazired by acts like XXXTENTACION and City Morgue, and *DEEZ / BRUV MOMENT VII* featuring the now classic UK drill style beat, which has been used by Gang Shloink many times before, hence the song being number VII in the series.

## **Success**

The *6PC MCNUGGET - EP* was revolutionary for Gang Shloink, as it debuted their new style, taking the duo into a new era of their music. Before this EP, Gang Shloink had been in a state of stagnation, perfectly exemplified by the group’s May 2021 single *DECAPITATION*, as they’d gotten to the point of barely trying with their music. This can be seen in the success, or lack-there-of, of their previous few singles, as they’d not had a “successful” single since March of that year. *6PC MCNUGGET - EP* brought Gang Shloink into a new era of their career, evident by the success of this EP, the last song from the EP, *3AM IN AL ZEINA*, being Gang Shoink’s most successful song to date, as of September 2022, and *NUTS* and *CUM ON MY WRIST* both being fan favourites and cult-classics within the Gang Shloink fanbase.
