J. Cole & 6LACK Perform “Pretty Little Fears” To Surprised Crowd In Los Angeles

October 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

J. Cole isn’t one to give updates about his life on social media the way some of his contemporaries do, but we’ve been seeing a noticeable increase in the amount of time the multi-talent has been spending outside lately. He’s obviously been busy in the studio perfecting verses to assist friends like Summer Walker and Gucci Mane, but for some of his closest pals, the North Carolina native has also been making surprise concert appearances, much to fans’ delight. Earlier this month, Cole helped Drake close out his It’s All a Blur tour in Toronto with their new “First Person Shooter” collab.

Now, he’s back in the US, this time performing with 6LACK in Los Angeles on his Since I Have A Lover Tour. On Tuesday (October 10) evening, the “Love Yourz” artist and his pal brought their East Atlanta Love Letter joint effort, “Pretty Little Fears” to the stage at YouTube Theater. As expected, those in attendance sang the throwback hit along word for word, getting in their feelings over both artists’ emotional verses.

J. Cole Fans Were Pleased to See Him in LA Last Night

Seeing both Cole and the “Switch” singer in one evening was major for many music lovers, but 6LACK’s surprises didn’t stop there. Later on in his set, he also brought out his upcoming opening act, Jordan Ward, as well as Canada’s own R&B sensation, Jessie Reyez. With the latter, he sang “Imported” before recruiting Khalid to join him for “OTW.”

At this time “Pretty Little Fears” is the only collaboration we’ve heard from the Dreamville head and 6LACK at this time. Of course, Cole has been hard at work on his highly anticipated album for some time now, so we’ll keep our fingers crossed to see the East Coast R&B star’s name on the tracklist when it finally arrives.

6LACK Brought Out Plenty of Other Friends

Check out videos from 6LACK’s performances with Jessie Reyez, Snoh Aalegra, and Khalid above. Who would you be most excited to see join the Baltimore native on stage as a surprise? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

J. Cole Surprised Fans At 6lack’s ‘Since I Have A Lover’ Tour Stop In Los Angeles To Perform ‘Pretty Little Fears’

October 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

J. Cole has long had a reputation for being a bit of a recluse, but in recent months, the North Carolina rapper has seemingly embraced his star status. He’s begun a new run of high-profile collabs with the likes of Gucci Mane, Lil Durk, Lil Yachty, and Summer Walker, while joining contemporaries like 50 Cent and Drake onstage during their respective tours.

Last night, he again joined a former collaborator onstage in Los Angeles, surprising fans at 6lack’s Since I Have A Lover Tour stop at the YouTube Theater to perform their beloved East Atlanta Love Letter duet, “Pretty Little Fears.” Fortunately, Uproxx was in attendance and got the full performance on video:

Other guest cameos at 6lack’s show included singer Jordan Ward, who’s set to join the tour in his native St. Louis next month; Jessie Reyez, who skipped out from backstage to join 6lack for a well-received rendition of their song “Imported”; and Khalid, who of course, sang “OTW” alongside the Atlanta rapper.

Although J. Cole has been busy working on his next album, The Fall Off, he’s still found time to make a few other star moves, such as buying a portion of his beloved Charlotte Hornets and throwing his weight around to help a young NBA prospect land a job with the Miami Heat. If his recent activity is any indicator, it looks like he’ll have plenty of folks to call on to help him finish the album, because clearly, he’s owed a lot of favors now.

September 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

If you are looking for music to go to when you are down in the dumps, he knows how to craft the perfect song for any of those situations. He has proven that since his debut, FREE 6LACK, which put him on the map in 2016.

Fast forward to 2023 and the Baltimore R&B talent has grown his catalog a lot in these past nine months. After dropping his East Atlanta Love Letter LP back in 2018, 6LACK took his time to release another solo project. In fact, he waited five years, before giving his hungry fans Since I Have A Lover. That project has done well for him and he is carrying his new momentum with a two-pack of singles.

Listen To “Homicide” / “Mean It” By 6LACK And Jessie Reyez

“Homicide” features Canadian singer Jessie Reyez for a toxic love tale. These two have worked together a few times already, and they have a fun time with this one. The melodies are very catchy and the chorus will have you undoubtedly becoming a toxic partner too. “Mean It” is the more mellow of the two. The tune is also very intoxicating, but it is about 6LACK breaking up with his partner. He wants to know how serious she is about it, needing reasons behind all of her undesirable behavior.

How you act so easy? (Easy)
So your a** gon’ leave me? (Leave me)
Well, if you say that, better mean it? (Mean it)
And you better back that with a reason (Reason)
Sayin’, “Oh, girl, before you go, you better know, you better know
I don’t do no pleadin’” (Pleadin’)

6lack And Jessie Reyez Play Toxic Lovers On Their Chaotic And Entertaining New ‘Homicide’ Collaboration

September 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

6lack and Jessie Reyez have once again joined forces for their brand new collaboration, “Homicide.” After teasing it on social media with the cover art earlier this week, many fans had wondered exactly what to expect.

The result is the two trading lyrical turns, telling the story of toxic lovers. Taking more of the title’s energy, she wants to make 6lack’s fictional ex jealous — and he is equally here for the energy, singing about a chaotic love affair.

“Don’t make her pull up, pull up, pull up,” 6lack raps. “She got a shooter, she ready to suit up / Hand in my face and she wishin’ me / Darin’ me, touch me, like do sum, do sum.”

“Find out that your ex live close, so I’m tryna f*ck you with the windows open,” Reyez adds. “Love it when your jealousy shows a little / Love it when you check my phone and give me some sh*t, then you give me some d*ck.”

Reyez and 6lack previously performed together on “Imported” and “Forever” — making this new song seem like a perfect finale to a solid trilogy of music.

Check out 6lack and Jessie Reyez’s “Homicide” song above. 6lack is set to kick off his next tour this Sunday, so he also shared an emotional solo track titled “Mean It,” which you can listen to below.

6lack And Jessie Reyez Look To Work Their Magic For A Third Time On Their Upcoming Single ‘Homicide’

September 26, 2023 by newhiphopnews

6lack and Jessie Reyez look to work their magic for a third time on their upcoming single, “Homicide.” The two artists previously worked together on the songs “Imported” and “Forever“; today, 6lack posted a teaser for “Homicide” on his Instagram page, promising to complete “the collab trilogy.” Along with the moody cover art, he shared clips of the videos from the pair’s previous output, as well as an offer for “more surprises this week & all through tour season.”

“Forever” appeared on Reyez’s most recent album, Yessie, while “Imported” appeared on her debut studio album, Before Love Came To Kill Us in 2020. Her most recent collaboration with another R&B star has also been making waves; “Jeans” featuring Miguel came with a spicy video complementing its explicit content.

Meanwhile, 6lack is around six months removed from his most recent full-length release, Since I Have A Lover. The album spawned a handful of singles including the title track, “Talkback,” “Fatal Attraction,” and “Preach.” 6lack has since been preparing for his Since I Have A Lover Tour, which starts in Portland, Oregon on October 1 and runs through November 24 in his hometown, Atlanta. Then, he’ll hop the pond for a series of European shows beginning in February of 2024.

“Homicide” is out this Friday, September 29. You can pre-save it here.

Quavo Makes Massive School Supplies Giveaway Dedicated To Takeoff

August 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

In November of last year, former Migos member Takeoff was tragically shot and killed in Houston. In the wake of the tragedy, dozens of artists and celebrities poured out tributes for the influential rapper. Unsurprisingly, nobody has done more than fellow Migos alum and Takeoff’s actual family member Quavo. Earlier this year that reached a new peak. The rapper teamed up with Offset for a Migos reunion at the BET Awards. Despite the surprise, all the focus was on Takeoff as the pair paid tribute to their fallen band member.

Now Quavo has found an entirely new way to pay tribute to Takeoff. According to TMZ, he just hosted the second edition of his “Ultimate Back 2 School Giveaway.” The project gave away tons of school supplies, mainly backpacks, to over 240 families in the Atlanta area who needed them. They were given away as a part of a major event at The Gathering Spot which featured food, games, and even a DJ for the children and families attending. He wasn’t alone either as fellow Atlanta local 6LACK joined him at the event. While there many were wearing commemorative “94” jerseys, paying tribute to Takeoff by donning his birth year.

Quavo was set to release his new album “Rocket Power” earlier this month. A few weeks ago though, he had to push the album back from August 4th to the 18th. While the reasons weren’t specified the project is still expected to be out soon. Earlier today he shared a potential album cover for the project.

Quavo’s new album isn’t the only project coming that he has a hand in. Last month he announced that a posthumous Takeoff album was on the way featuring material the rapper recorded before his death. What do you think of Quavo paying tribute to Takeoff while donating school supplies to kids? Let us know in the comment section below.
