“Homicide” & “Mean It” are available now
Hot on the heels of an explosive run, the groundbreaking artist 6lack (pronounced Black) releases two thrilling new songs via LVRN/Interscope Records ahead of his first headlining tour in over six years. The exhilarating track “Homicide” sees both 6lack and Jessie Reyez coming together after many years of friendship and deep admiration for one another. Here, the two artists breathe life into the complexities of intense love, infatuation, and the synergy of the two, painting a portrait of a fatal tango between two lovers. The strong, years-long bond between the two artists is almost palpable through the track, as it tastefully bridges their equally compelling vocals together. The stirring track “Mean It” chronicles a moving confessional and showcases 6lack’s unmatched dexterity through a striking vast sonic terrain that demonstrates why he remains one of the most pivotal artists in music today.
Additionally, 6lack will be kicking off his colossal new Since I Have A Lover world tour on October 1st in Portland. The tour will span across North America and Europe with over 40 dates and with support from an array of dynamic artists including Mereba, Spinall, Quin, Jordan Ward, and Sadboi throughout the run. The trek will serve as 6lack’s highly anticipated return to the stage after an over six-year touring hiatus.
The extraordinary run will see the beloved artist bring to life for the first time his critically acclaimed album Since I Have A Lover in what will undeniably be a one-of-a-kind moving moment for attendees. The live shows will expand on the healing journey that 6lack set out to convey with the project. An intimate one that both sheds light on the highs and lows of his life, and pulls from his firsthand experiences with mental health, recovery, self-improvement, and love.

Cole, Future, Selena Gomez, Young Thug, Timbaland, Normani, Isaiah Rashad, Rita Ora, Ty Dolla $ign, Lil Baby, Khalid, Jessie Reyez, Nao and many more.
