"Love Is the New Gangsta is a direct rejection of the detached posturing that made him famous"

- Our review of 6LACK's new album: https://t.co/XgsA5FvzAz

[Beats Per Minute @BeatsPerMinute]

"6LACK proves that choosing emotional transparency over a manufactured cool does not dull an artist's edge; it simply sharpens it into something that can actually cut through the noise"

Our review of the rapper's new album Love Is The New Gangsta: https://t.co/XgsA5FvzAz

[Beats Per Minute @BeatsPerMinute]
