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.

New Unexpected

We're finally getting the new season of the reality TV series Unexpected in the UK! Season 3 was shown in the US last summer , and I wondered when we'd get it here. I don't have any online streaming services so thought I'd just watch clips on YouTube, lol. However it's now starting here in early March. Similar to the popular MTV franchise Teen Mom , Unexpected focuses on teen parents. The first series featured 3 couples expecting babies- Lily Bennett and her boyfriend James Kennedy who have daughter Aaliyah, now 2;  Mckayla Adkins and partner Caelan Morrison who have son Timothy, also known as Timmy (and now daughter Gracelynn , born in January 2019), and  Lexus Scheller and boyfriend Shayden Massey who have daughter Scarlett. Season 2 saw the departure of Lilly and the addition of 3 new pregnant girls and their partners- Laura Barron and her boyfriend (now husband) Tylor Stawmyor who have son Lucas (and have since had another baby , a 2nd son, who is named Leo), ...

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 ...

20th Anniversary of Mariah's The Emancipation of Mimi Album- Part 1

My favourite singer Mariah Carey is celebrating the 20th Anniversary of her 10th studio album The Emancipation of Mimi. It was released back in April 2005. I'd planned to write just one post about the album but it was turning into a really long one, so I've decided to divide it into two parts! Here is Part 1. :) The Emancipation of Mimi (or TEOM for short!) was considered Mariah's "comeback album" at the time, following on from her previous two albums, Glitter (2001) which was accompanied by the film of the same name and Charmbracelet (2002). Neither the Glitter movie or album were very well received and after going through a difficult time in general, Mariah had an emotional and physical breakdown and checked into hospital that summer. She was diagnosed with bipolar II disorder , although didn't feel ready to speak about it pubicly until several years later .  Although Charmbracelet (MC's first release after leaving Virgin Records America and singing w...
