6LACK – Atlanta Native Singer and RapperÂ
Dazed slow jams with forthright experiential lyrics are the primary mode of Atlanta-based contemporary R&B artist 6LACK (pronounced "black"). A model of perseverance, the singer/rapper and songwriter toiled for years before he struck a favorable deal with LVRN (Love Renaissance) and helped put the Interscope-affiliated label on the map. The Atlanta native achieved his breakthrough in 2016 with the single "PRBLMS" and subsequent albumFREE 6LACK-- both of which were Grammy-nominated -- and has since become a fixture on Billboard's R&B/hip-hop and pop charts as both a lead and featured artist.
East Atlanta Love Letter, his second album, nearly topped the Billboard 200 in 2018 and spawned four gold or platinum hits. Since I Have a Lover, released in 2023, balanced stylistic diversions with alternately swaggering and vulnerable ballads.
6LACK is featured in the 2023 Atlanta United FC production ‘Inside the 404’, where he talks about how Atlanta has been a strong enough force to influence music, sports and culture. ‘Inside the 404’ is a documentary produced by Atlanta United FC in collaboration with Atlanta Influences Everything, as part of the launch of the 404 Kit, Atlanta United’s 2023 third kit.
