Editor's note

6LACK's quiet storm of Atlanta R&B

The Baltimore-born singer found his voice in Atlanta, mixing moody production with plainspoken lyrics about love and mental health.

If you want to hear him at his most stripped-back, try 'Alone/EA6.' For something with a bit more bounce, 'Mushroom Chocolate' with QUIN has that hazy, late-night feel he does so well.

He's one of those artists who makes the space around the words feel as heavy as the words themselves. The track 'Alone/EA6' is a good example, it's just him and a sparse beat, but the whole thing breathes like a late-night drive. That 2018 album 'East Atlanta Love Letter' wasn't just a title; it was a full mood board for the city he adopted.

He signed with Interscope in 2015, then put out 'East Atlanta Love Letter' three years later. More recently, he's been working with other artists like Lil Baby on 'Know My Rights' and putting out shorter projects like the 2020 EP '6pc Hot'.

Born Ricardo Valdez Valentine Jr., 6LACK grew up in Baltimore before moving to Atlanta. He signed with Interscope Records in 2015.

In 2019 he canceled a tour to focus on his mental health. His lyrics sometimes draw criticism for being explicit. He put out the EP '6pc Hot' in 2020.
