6lack Facts

1. He got obsessed with battle rapping while he was studying in middle school. He used to spend most of the time in school freestyling and putting his skills to test with anyone good enough.
2. 6lack has opted to put number 6 in his moniker because it is his life path number. It is also an homage to the Zone 6 neighborhood of Atlanta, where he grew up. Also, his name is pronounced as ‘Black.’
3. Before his rap career took off, he was involved in a car accident in Florida as the driver fell asleep which led to the car spinning on the road and eventually flipping into a ditch by the road. He managed to escape without any major injuries.
4. He got viral attention on the social media after Kylie Jenner uploaded a Snapchat video with his single Prblms playing in the background.
5. After he dropped out of college, he got a deal from Flo Rida‘s IMG Strongarm label and moved to Miami, where he had to struggle a lot financially. He had to sleep in the studio on some nights, while on others, he had to sleep outside.
6. In his interviews, he has called his time with IMG Strongarm as a jail as he was forced to create a music that they felt would deliver hit music but he had other artistic ideas. He spent 5 unfruitful years with the record label before ending the deal in 2016.
7. He learned how to sing on his own by listening to Usher and Sade’s songs.
8. His family moved from Baltimore to Atlanta in 1997. He was 4 years old at that time.
