AOTY #3: 6LACK – “East Atlanta Love Letter”
6LACK delivered one of the most impressive debut albums in recent years with “FREE 6LACK” in 2016 so fans were hoping he wouldn’t catch a case of the sophomore flop. — And he sure didn’t. “East Atlanta Love Letter” is a modern-day classic. Yup, I said it.
Now a father — a more polished, focused 6LACK was finally ready to take the spotlight and give us a insight into his life following all his recent success.
I honestly don’t have to skip a single track but let me tell you the ones I honestly had on repeat for we… DAYS! “Loaded Gun” “East Atlanta Love Letter” “Sorry” “Thugger’s Interlude” Balenciaga Challenge” “Nonchalant. — and of course, “Pretty Little Liars” with J. Cole. Cole’s verse is one of my favorite of all time and really resonates with me because that’s exactly the verse I would spit to my girl to tell her how much I love her. The visual was perfectly supportive too.
But yea — in any other year, this would easily be #1 for me but my next 2 top choices are even more sentimental to me. Top 3, but not [really] 3.
“AND SHE SEEN MY BEST SIDE, MMMMM”
