ReviewSTACKS.com – Rap reviews, features and commentary

I had the opportunity to interview rapper/producer 6th Sense and shoot him a few questions about his latest release, a beat tape, It’s A 6th Sense Beat Tape Yo!!. Check the links out after the jump.

ReviewSTACKS – What made you decide to create a project like this – using songs released in the past year?

6^th Sense – I wanted to bring awareness to the fact I’m a producer as well as an artist.  I got a lot in the works coming out as a producer, so I figured this would be a good way for people to hear the foundation I’ve laid as a producer.
RS – How would you define your production style?

6^th – Human.  Refreshingly human.  Progressively classic.
RS – What’s your favorite track on the tape?

6^th – Cliché, but, all of them.
RS – Out of all the people you worked with on the tape, who did you vibe with best?

6^th – That’s easy, Wildabeast.
RS – Why release a beat tape instead of rapping over it and putting out a mixtape?

6^th – All these beats are instrumentals that were songs on mixtapes and leaks and albums.  I have almost 40 songs in the stash, I just didn’t feel like dropping a mixtape.  There’ll be no shortage of music I produce and compose in the future.
RS – What do you have in the pipeline? New album, mixtape, etc?

6^th – There’s the 6th Sense & Wildabeast are… Both Nice album.  I’m producing a handful on Outasight’s “From Here To Eternity.”  Producing half of The Kid Daytona’s “Come Fly With Me.”  I got a bunch of stuff coming with Mick Boogie.  I got a whole bunch of stuff that’s coming that would take me too long to make sure I listed everything and everyone.  Shouts to everyone with whom I’m bout to get it in with in the lab.
RS – How do you see hip-hop changing and where do you think it’s going?

6^th – I have no clue.  People need to be creative though, not just different, but creative.

RS – Off topic, BUT – CB and Rihanna becoming the next Bobby/Whitney – gonna pan out or not?

6^th – Ok, see, THAT I reaaaly have no clue about.  I do hope though that whatever problems they’re having that they can work it out and get the help they need.
