6lack is an R&B artist who defies the traditional rules of the genre. Yes, he has the singing voice of an R&B star, but his style has a hip-hop core — per his 2018 song "Scripture." The Grammy-nominated artist offers a realist lens in his music, as opposed to always singing about his latest infatuation, which makes him stand out from the rest. He hasn't dropped an album since 2018's East Atlanta Love Letter, but his newest loose singles like "Rent Free" and "By Any Means" have kept fans occupied in the meantime.
