Highing Fly
The Bronx born hip hop visionary known to many as 6th Sense, has always shown early admiration for the truthful form of hip hop culture. Although a native of the borough that fathered the art, it was in New York City's trendy Lower East Side where the then young adolescent first grasped a firm hold for his calling while verbalizing ingressive lyrical content in competitive open mic contests. Instantly the confident and witty 14-year-old wordsmith became a crowd favorite and was looked upon as a captivating MC among his much older competitors. Years later her would go on to reign in the popular and more advanced Fight Klub and Training Camp competitions amongst some of the most elite word slayers. "People of all cultures respect my talent and the geniuneness of my individuality"- 6th Sense Although 6th Sense managed to win crowds as an intent and tireless teen it was his illustrious solo skills that led to his participation in the notable rap group The Understudies. Even though the momentum was short lived, they managed to score a hit with the 12” single, "Now and Then", which moved over a 1000 respectful units internationally and was the catalyst of a soon to be solo career for the ambitious rapper. Never an egotistic type, but resourceful in numerous of ways, 6th couldn’t resist the fact that he has acquired a very business savvy mind. This ultimately led to his enrollment at Northeastern University, where he is currently attending. He claims, "I plan on getting this cut throat business to believe in my creativity." Hence the fact why he is only 1 year shy from fulfilling a Bachelors degree in Music Industry. Independently establishing Notherground Music, 6th intends on showing the industry his entire realm of talent, one he feels can blossom into a respected mind like a Clive Davis or Tommy Matolla. With that being a primary goal, 6th is set to drop the highly anticipated LP, Highing Fly. Highing Fly promises to live up to its maximum capacity. “The mission of Highing Fly is to give people an album they can enjoy in a personal setting. I wanted to show the world what Notherground Music is capable of. I wanted to come from a human, artistic angle, because everyone else is doing somewhat of the same thing.” Which is why it’s no surprise top producer Scram Jones (Lloyd Banks, Mariah Carrey, Notorious B.I.G, Saigon, etc.) decided to jump behind the boards and execute arguably the hottest summer street anthem “No Contest” as well as the very experimental Nicolay, which 6th has shared the stage with many of times lends his instrumental help on “Make Rounds” where 6th demolishes the soulful mid tempo drum patterns: “ And I’m straight killing it for no reason at all/ till I meet who’s overseeing it all/ ask him why we feel the need to evolve/ and if we’re leavin it all up at the spot that we’re reaching to fall.” It doesn’t stop there! “I do it in a form that’s so fresh/ that when I’m done spittin only God would flow next.” Frequency, member of 6th’s former assembly, The Understudies, is also invited to endow his production on Highing Fly as well. Frequency is best known for his work on Cam’ron’s, “Ya’ll Can’t Live His Life” and is always in one accord with his musical brother 6th. That is why 6th called upon Frequency to oversee the entire Highing Fly project. With that being said, Highing Fly is scheduled to uplift the world on 6/13. 6th Sense will fill the missing piece of essence that New York Hip Hop has been missing for the last couple of years. Never to be compared, 6th will arguably leave a notable imprint with Highing Fly. The young rapper quotes: “I want to show that there’s an artist and visionary from New York City who has a deep deep deep appreciation and understanding for the roots and sound of the culture”.
