6LACK

The first weekend of March brought with it a taste of spring, not to mention several must-hear new releases. A handful of them landed on our R&amp;B Season playlist, including Kali Uchis and <a href="/profile/don-toliver" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Don Toliver</a>&#8217;s <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/640962-kali-uchis-don-toliver-create-a-fantasy-on-our-rb-season-playlist-update" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">sensual &#8220;Fantasy&#8221; collaboration</a>. Elsewhere, we suggested tracks from both Masego and 6LACK, who happens to make another appearance today (March 12).



The Baltimore native is presently preparing to drop his <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/641082-everything-we-know-about-6lacks-next-album" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Since I Have A Lover album</a> later this month. He finally kicked it off with last week&#8217;s <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/639498-6lack-drops-title-track-from-upcoming-album-since-i-have-a-lover" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">titular single</a>. On Friday (March 10), he shared <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/643514-6lack-teases-forthcoming-album-with-talk-back" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&#8220;Talkback,&#8221;</a> only generating more buzz for his long-awaited follow-up to East Atlanta Love Letter. Over production by Yakob and Scribz Riley, 6LACK brags about some of big biggest accomplishments.



&#8220;Got so many diamonds, they like, &#8216;Oh, Lord&#8217; / Big business plans in my Goyard / Young and still humble, tryna hold on / Heard &#8217;em talkin&#8217; down, that shit just roll off,&#8221; his first verse begins. On the chorus, he sings about having a conversation with God on the phone. &#8220;I said, &#8216;What&#8217;s up?&#8217; He talked back / Don&#8217;t let your enemies throw you off track.&#8221;



Blxst set the R&amp;B Season mood with his <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/393074-blxst-links-with-zacari-rick-ross-arin-ray-and-grandmaster-vic-on-before-you-go-album-new-mixtape" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Before You Go project</a> in 2022. From the sounds of things, he&#8217;s planning to deliver big things this year as well. His New Music Friday contribution came in the form of a four-track <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/643614-blxst-is-back-with-just-for-clarity-2-ep-featuring-roddy-ricch-larry-june-and-more" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Just For Clarity 2 EP</a>, on which he teamed up with a host of noteworthy collaborators. Among them is <a href="/profile/roddy-ricch" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Roddy Ricch</a>, who joined his fellow Californian for a <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/644336-blxst-roddy-ricchs-first-collab-will-have-you-feeling-passionate" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&#8220;Passionate&#8221;</a> song.



According to the 30-year-old, this is &#8220;bigger&#8221; than just another track to him. &#8220;I like to look at it more as a mindset, especially working with Roddy on this record. It’s dope to see somebody’s success go from zero to a hundred, especially somebody from the hometown,&#8221; Blxst explained. Before they blew up, he and the &#8220;paid my dues&#8221; hitmaker frequently saw each other at the studio putting in work.



Our final R&amp;B Season pick of the week is another joint effort – this one from Musiq Souldchild and <a href="/profile/hitboy" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Hit-Boy</a>. It landed on <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/643703-musiq-soulchild-hit-boy-bring-neo-soul-goodness-on-victims-villains" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Victims &amp; Villains</a>, and is titled &#8220;white rice déjà vu.&#8221; Stream it all exclusively on <a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/12CA3zv7yiRX48azmHGZgo?si=2618e332cfa942d7" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Spotify</a> below, and let us know which new arrivals you&#8217;ve had in rotation this weekend in the comments.
