We sat down and asked “6M” a few question’s for his fan’s to get a deeper look at his upbringing.
Q: What city are you from?
6M : I’m from Vallejo California, born in Berkeley.
Q: When did you start making music?
6M: I wrote my first rap in the 3rd grade. I still remember it to this day, it was short but it rhymed.
Q: Tell us about your childhood?
6M : I was raised in a Care home with clients downstairs who couldn’t live on there own. It was owned by my grandmother then my mom took it over, so the housing situation was unique. On top of being in Vallejo, when it came time to get ready for school, I didn’t need to set an alarm the helicopters would wake me up every morning. But hey Vallejo is the most beautiful, dangerous & most interesting place in the whole world, got to love it. The V Made me, I put on for the city every chance I get. Shout out Buds Burger and Sacs hot dogs on GOD !
Q: What artist did you grow up listening to that inspired your sound?
6M : Nobody in particular inspired my sound, I was always writing stories or letters. I even wrote for the school paper in high school, my teachers used to tell me often I was creative but if I had to pick any artist then it would be James brown. I also get inspired by BFB The Packman, YN Jay , Vallejo artist of course like Nef The Pharaoh & Yhung T.O.
Q: Where did you first start recording music?
6M: I Didn’t have a main studio, definitely bounced around a lot. One chapter it was at the Homie’s, well a few of the homie houses but shout out my brother Impulse in Santa Rosa. He came in clutch back in the day, good people for sure. I can’t forget Scottie in Sacramento, we had a time as well. Currently I only record at “Gas Station studios”, shout out king gas he don’t miss.
Q: Who are some Artist you wanna shout out that you worked with?
6M: I’ve been on my solo journey this year but yes I do have a few shout
outs starting with my engineer Gas ⛽️ a big thank you shoutout to “SHI SO ICY” a hidden gem, my favorite rapper period. My new friend I’ve met along the way “Jon Doe” from Vegas big support system. And last but not least my Brother “Been R3ady” from Fairfield California. “Drench Aint dead” and “Half Centric”, keeps me focused. And thank you “Polar Boi CJ” been in my corner since day one. I’m nothing without these people I don’t do it alone. The Gr8 YT aka Mac he’s not an artist but my Right Hand, he been with me since my first solo session. I don’t do nothing without him he doesn’t do nothing without me.
Q: If you could explain your sound how would you?
6M: I try to keep the music alive from the greats who has motivated me. Uncle Luke for example, I want to bring the party back into music. “James brown” hit after hit, “Afro man” wonderful story teller. My sound is all of these artist In one, I’m bringing the fun back into music. I pride myself on metaphors and punchlines and lastly the music slap, period. I’m from the Bay it’s something in the water. My sound is unique it’s fun, it slap’s.
Q: What is your most recent release?
6M: My most recent release is my first one “If You Ask Me”, out now on all streaming platforms.
Q: Do you have anything coming up?
6M: I will mention that people should look out for is my Album “BAPS FROM BAPPERTON”. Hopefully i can get it out on my birthday in November or October the team and I go over the plans daily but believe me it’s coming it’s already done.
