Multi-platinum, 5x GRAMMY-nominated artist 6LACK brings Devon some commonly misheard lyrics to the show this week, speaks on Future’s talent, battle rapping, and when Lebron James messed up his lyrics on IG stories.

Pronounced “Black,” the five-time GRAMMY-nominated and multi-platinum-selling artist has spent the last decade defining the sound and spirit of a generation through his deeply introspective, genre-bending artistry. Born and raised in Zone 6 of Atlanta, 6LACK first broke onto the scene with his 2016 debut FREE 6LACK, introducing the world to his unmistakable blend of melodic vulnerability, sharp lyricism, and atmospheric production. He solidified his place as one of music’s most compelling voices with his critically acclaimed sophomore album East Atlanta Love Letter, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top R&B Albums chart and peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200.

Since then, 6LACK has amassed more than 8 billion global streams while delivering some of the most impactful records of the past decade through collaborations with artists including J. Cole, Future, Selena Gomez, Young Thug, Timbaland, Normani, Isaiah Rashad, Rita Ora, Ty Dolla $ign, Lil Baby, Khalid, Jessie Reyez, Nao, and more. His massive collaboration with Lil Tjay, “Calling My Phone,” earned No. 1 spots on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts while reaching No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and achieving platinum status.

Most recently, 6LACK ushered in a bold new era with the release of his latest album, Love Is The New Gangsta — a deeply personal and evolved body of work centered around growth, healing, fatherhood, and emotional transparency. Expanding on the alternative R&B foundation that made him a standout voice, the project showcases an artist continuing to push boundaries while remaining rooted in honesty, vulnerability, and timeless storytelling.
