Ricardo Valentine, who records as 6lack, came up in Atlanta. His debut EP, 'Free 6lack,' came out in 2015, and its single 'Prblms' got some attention. He followed it with albums like 'East Atlanta Love Letter' in 2018 and '6lack Year II' the next year.
His songs often work through feelings of solitude and complicated relationships. A track like 'If Anything Im Better Off Alone' is a good example of that quiet, inward-looking style. He's done some work with other artists, including Khalid and Jorja Smith.
In 2019, he was arrested on marijuana and DUI charges, which brought some public attention to his personal life. He's kept making music since, releasing 'From East Atlanta with Love' in 2022.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
