6LACK Drops “Homicide” With Jessie Reyez And “Mean It”

by

6LACK has always been an artist who is able to evoke a lot of different emotions from his listeners. His gravelly voice can allow you to feel sad, angry, depressed, and lost. 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.

“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 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.

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

by

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.” 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.

Jessie Reyez & Miguel Paint A Seriously Sexy Picture On “JEANS”: Stream

by

Miguel and Jessie Reyez are both talented R&B vocalists in their own right, but now that they’ve come together on “JEANS,” we’re craving a collab EP from the pair. The new single landed on Friday (August 18), following the “Criminal” hitmaker’s joint effort with Lil Yachty, “Number 9,” the weekend before. This release is equally as buzz-worthy, and extremely sensual in nature. It finds two lovers going back and forth with bedroom innuendos, seemingly talking each other through an orgasm with their verses.

“‘Cause I might let you do it, I might let you shoot it / ‘Cause she need some milk / She need somethin’ real, real bad,” the Canadian croons on the first verse after carrying us through the chorus. “The atoms between us have melted away, and we’re one tonight / When I see the way of your eyes, I know I, I’m doin’ it right,” Miguel later responds.

Jessie Reyez and Miguel Turn Up the Heat on “JEANS”

In the accompanying music video, Reyez is arrested while robbing a small convenience store, and she certainly gives the officer processing her a hard time with her bratty antics. When she’s finally made it to her cell, she and Miguel get as close as they can with the bars separating them. Though there’s only so much they can do physically, their lust for each other is obvious, and expressed through song rather than touch.

Check out the sultry visual for Jessie Reyez’s “JEANS” single with Miguel above. If you’re feeling the collab like we are, be sure to add it to your playlist on Spotify/Apple Music. For more HNHH release recommendations, check back in later this weekend.

Quotable Lyrics:

The atoms between us have melted away, and we’re one tonight
When I see the way of your eyes, I know I, I’m doin’ it right
I love how you coach me when I’m close to the peak
And I feel you growin’, my love, how you hold back for me

Jessie Reyez And Miguel Are A Perfect Fit On Their New X-Rated Collab, ‘Jeans’

by

Jessie Reyez and Miguel are turning up the heat. Tonight (August 18), the two have dropped “Jeans,” a spicy, x-rated new collaboration.

The two have been teasing the collab via social media over the course of the past few days, and as always, Reyez’s pen proves to have made the song worth the wait.

“You fit / Better than a pair of jeans, baby / Fill me up better than a feast, baby /Don’t think I could ever let you leave, baby…Stroke makin’ me forget to breathe, baby / That face lookin’ like a seat, baby,” sings Reyes on the song’s chorus.

Miguel then chimes in with erotic, poetic wordplay of his own.

“And I see the way of your eyes / I know / I’m doin’ it right I love how you coach me when I’m close to the peak,” sings Miguel.

Both acts are having an exciting summer. Miguel is currently enjoying a viral resurgence of his 2011 breakthrough single, “Sure Thing,” while gearing up for a comeback of his own, beginning with his Lil Yachty-assisted single, “Number 9.”

Meanwhile, Reyez is currently on tour with Sam Smith, and is set to release her first poetry book, Words Of A Goat Princess this fall.

You can listen to “Jeans” above.
