6LACK Performs in New York, Shares the Stories Behind His Songs

Byhiphop

Atlanta’s 6LACK can’t stop winning. His album Free 6LACK was one of last year’s best debuts, he killed it at our sold out No Ceilings show in New York, and last night in Los Angeles, he even brought out The Weeknd to perform.

The Free 6LACK album is a highly personal project covering everything from a label deal he signed that went wrong to expecting a child, and the fact that 6LACK is so raw and unfiltered is part of what makes his music so powerful. You might already know everything about “PRBLMS” or “Rules,” but what about the stories behind album opener “Never Know” and the empowering “Free”?

Check out the video above to catch live footage of 6LACK performing at No Ceilings in New York and hear him break down his own music. Read more about that incredible, bear-featuring album cover here.
