6lack is back with his new anticipated album Love Is The New Gangsta.
6lack announced the project will arrive on May 22. Alongside the announcement, the Atlanta artist also released the first single, “Bird Flu.”
The album follows 2023’s Since I Have a Lover, which earned a Grammy nomination for Best Progressive R&B Album. That project featured appearances from Don Toliver, Wale, India Shawn, Ty Dolla $ign, and more.
“Yasss! Counting down and looking forward to creating journal prompts to it..” commented one fan. “First one! It’s happening for real!!!! 2026 is UPPPPPP..” commented another.
6lack previously expressed gratitude for his “Free 6lack” studio album. “9 years. sh*t. FREE 6LACK turns 9 today. still a little residue from that era exists in my life today, but all i’ve done is try to make strides to feel better & be better. it’s the soundtrack to growing up. spin it today to celebrate. grammy nominated, overly platinum, coolest debut project ever. not just because i made it, but because of everything that went into it. i proved something big to myself that year, and now it’s onto the next.”
