6LACK is one of the more talented and diverse artists to emerge over the last almost decade with his dynamic style of rapping and singing. The four-time GRAMMY-nominated and multi-platinum selling artist who has captivated audiences with his dynamic voice and one of a kind art during that time. Makes his deeply personally reflective return to his rap roots today with his stirringly beautiful new single, F**k The Rap Game. A track that so perfectly blends both 6LACK’s singing and rapping as he touches on the flashiness, money and other alluring parts of the industry that don’t allow you to be your authentic self in which the art form was created for.
6LACK touching on that and the song in certain parts of a statement he put out about the meaning of the song. Saying, ” I consider myself very fortunate to do what I love for a living. But I say fvck the rap “game” because that’s the part I don’t love. The part that has nothing to do with artistic expression and makes being an artist feel like a job. This song is a personal reflection about distractions within the music industry that detract from what this art form was created for. I’m distancing myself from the politics and reminding myself what my purpose is within the genre.”
The multi GRAMMY-nominated artist also debuting through Vevo. Is a simple, yet just as deeply personal and reflective AboveGround-directed video. That sees 6LACK creating the video and baring his personal self, while trying to avoid the women, flashiness and allure of the industry. As he fights to stay and show others his authentic self as both a human and artist.
