Broadening Rap to New Horizons: A Conversation with Rapper SixSaidIt
Description
"All of these different cultures are a part of me. I didn't want to limit myself to one sound."
-Six
SixSaidIt is a multifaceted artist who seamlessly flows across the borders between hip-hop’s hottest subgenres to create a sound that is uniquely her own. In this wide-ranging conversation, I had the opportunity to speak to Six about the cultural influences that compelled her to rap, her experiences navigating the music industry as an artist who refuses to be put in a box, her songwriting process, and more. Along the way, you’ll hear clips from her two singles “GOAT” and “Bite Size,” as well as her newest release “Japa 2 Japan” which is available now.
For more on SixSaidIt, you can follow her on Instagram, TikTok, and X @sixsaidit and stream her music on Apple Music, Soundcloud, Spotify, and YouTube. Want to learn more? Check out our previous article “Representing The Black Atlantic World: SixSaidIt” on the Hip Hop African blog now.
