6LACK Link-up

Sorry the 2nd post is later this week, I wasn't able to finish it yesterday. :)

Something a little different today! I've noticed the American rapper/singer 6LACK has worked with a few artists I like, so today's post is a link-up, featuring his collaborations.

6LACK (real name Ricardo Valdez Valentine) is from Atlanta, Georgia. His stage name is pronounced "black". (I do automatically start to read it as "6 lack" though! lol). He started out as a battle rapper when he was still at school.

6LACK's breakthrough came with the single Prblms, released in September 2016. It was from his debut album FREE 6LACK which came out that November. In September last year he released his second album East Atlanta Love Letter. His singles include Prblms, First F**k featuring Jhené Aiko, OTW with Khalid and Ty Dolla $ign, Nonchalant, It's Not U It's Me with Bea Miller and Imported with Jessie Reyez.


First F**k with Jhené Aiko

Although I listed this in a New Music/Videos post in 2017, I don't think I've featured it in a post. 6LACK and Jhené collaborated on this song in early 2017. It's one of my favourite Jhené songs. This is an audio and as you can tell by the title, it's explicit! :)




In Between feat. BANKS

In Between, which features BANKS was released in November 2017, but I only discovered it recently. You can find it in my recent post featuring BANKS songs (joint post on her and Mabel's new albums: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2019/06/upcoming-album-releases.html

Waves with Normani

6LACK appeared on a new version of former Fifth Harmony member turned solo singer Normani's Waves in November 2018, and the music video came out this February. Watch it here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2019/02/weekly-music-video_20.html


RPG with Kehlani

Kehlani released the song RPG  with 6LACK in April. It's from her latest mixtape While We Wait.



Fallin' with Bazzi

Finally 6LACK features on Fallin, a song from Bazzi's debut mixtape Soul Searching.

South Indian Videos

I've written several Bollywood posts this year but I don't feature South Indian music/films as much. So today I'm sharing some music and dance videos from Tollywood ( the Telugu language film industry) and Kollywood (the Tamil language film industry). :) Oo Antava Mawa- Pushpa- Dance Cover by Sonali First up is a dance cover of the song Oo Antava Mawa..Oo Oo Antava from the 2021 Tollywood film Pushpa: The Rise- Part 1 . I previously featured a dance cover of Oo Antava Mawa in a Dance Videos post in August last year. That one is by Rang De and you can see it here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/08/dance-videos.html This cover is by Indian choreographer Sonali Bhaduria, from LiveToDance with Sonali and was uploaded in January 2022. It's a shorter video.   For more on Pushpa and to watch the official Oo Antava Mawa video, check out my Tollywood Videos Round-up 2 post from September 2023: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/09/tollywood-videos-round-up-2.html ...

Weekly Music Video

Sorry there wasn't a 2nd post last week, I was going through a bit of a stressful time and didn't manage to get one finished. :) This week's video is I CONDEMN by Australian singer and rapper The Kid LAROI . It was the first single from the deluxe version of his second album BEFORE I FORGET. The original album was released in January and the deluxe version came out on 24th April. It contains 9 extra tracks, including  I CONDEMN and latest single PIECES. I wasn't aware that there was a deluxe version until I saw that some new songs had appeared on Spotify! I like BEFORE I FORGET and my favourite songs from the original version are ME + YOU, JULY,  COME DOWN and RATHER BE featuring Australian rapper and singer Lithe . One of my fave songs on the deluxe version is QUIT YOU, and I also like HOLD STILL and I CONDEMN. The newest single PIECES came out on out the same day as the album. I CONDEMN was released on 17th April. As with the songs on the original BEFORE I FORGET, it...
