While hip-hop has been at the forefront of the mainstream pop scene for the best part of a decade, we still struggle in finding new offerings that feel authentic and worthy of a listen. Not to worry though, in a sea of posers and fake trendsetters, we still manage to find peeps with real passion and an experienced outlook on the genre. Denver-born emcee, producer, hip-hop artist and entrepreneur 6ixth Element is one of them, a true breaking force in modern hip-hop. Not shying away from tradition, the American talent manages to blend boom-bap and old-school influences with modern flow and lyricism.
‘What They Want’ is the project’s latest effort, a stunning and punchy gem with a strong uplifting character. Produced by Mark Goble, the record seeks to motivate listeners in pursuing their goals and overcoming obstacles and challenges. Just like 6ixth Element does, keeping alive his creative force within family life and a complex reality.
Stay tuned! 6ixth Element has a slew of singles lined up to be released, and an album expected in late 2023. If ‘What They want’ is anything to go by, we are in for a real treat. Material drenched in tradition while looking at the future. The Denver rapper possesses a deep, gritty vocal tone, delivering every line with gravitas and charm, almost with hypnotising force.
Look out for the artist’s own label, New Golden Era Hip Hop.
