Born Ricardo Valdez Valentine in Baltimore in 1992, 6LACK (pronounced "black") was raised in Atlanta's Zone 6 and had his first recording experience at his father's studio at the age of four. His initial foray into music mostly consisted of rap battles, including a notorious battle with Young Thug. Heavily influenced by R&B and soul artists like Sade, Usher, and T-Pain, he later taught himself to sing and tapped into deeply personal matters like dealing with homelessness in his introspective lyrics. Soon after signing with Interscope Records, 6LACK landed on a "10 New Artists You Need to Know" list from Rolling Stone, who described his sound as "warbled and wispy love-bound rumination."
