Dorrough’s Delirious ‘Brand New’ Perfomance Kicks Off ‘UPROXX Sessions’ For 2021

The Dallas rapper behind ‘Ice Cream Paint Job’ is back with a polished performance to introduce his new persona, Six 3. …

It’s been a while since the last episode of UPROXX Sessions, but your favorite performance show is back with a bang for 2021. We’ve got some big surprises planned this year, so stay tuned. For the first episode back, we thought it’d be fitting to host another return — Dallas rapper Dorrough has come through with some “Brand New” heat for the new year, as well as a new identity, Six 3. You may remember Six 3 as the voice behind the 2009 hit “Ice Cream Paint Job,” which peaked at No. 27 on the Hot 100 that year.

While the Lone Star State mainstay never truly went away, releasing albums in 2010, 2017, and 2018, “Brand New” represents a stylistic rebirth — even if it treads familiar territory, content-wise. The time out of the national spotlight hasn’t dulled Six 3’s refined performance at all, and his energy is exactly what longtime UPROXX Sessions fans have come to expect thanks to previous appearances from IV4, Toosii, DaniLeigh, and BRS Kash.

Lenny Kravitz’s Unheard Symphony, Rock Icon Calls Out Black Media Snub

Lenny Kravitz

Lenny Kravitz, the powerhouse behind late ’90s and 2000s rock hits, is a prominent figure in his genre. However, he feels that Black media has not recognized his contributions to the music industry. Despite receiving praise from various organizations, Kravitz recently revealed in an exclusive interview cover story that Black platforms like BET or The Source Awards have failed to acknowledge his musical contributions. This has sparked a conversation about recognition and representation in the music industry.

Kravitz expressed his candid disappointment, “To this day, I have not been invited to a BET thing or a Source Awards thing. Here is a Black artist who has reintroduced many Black art forms, broken down barriers—just like those before me. That is positive. And they don’t have anything to say about it?” The absence of such recognition has prompted social media debates, with users speculating on possible reasons and drawing comparisons to other artists’ experiences.

Some discussions have centered on the contrast with artists like Prince, who navigated the rock realm without encountering similar oversights. The debate has also delved into whether rock music is still perceived as a Black art form in the 21st century, considering its historical roots in African American culture. Critics have questioned whether Kravitz’s prolific collaborations with other Black artists have failed to translate into the recognition he deserves.

The discourse has extended to whether Kravitz intentionally courted a white audience, raising questions about the artist’s self-presentation and the evolution of his music. As the industry witnesses an increasing blend of genres, Kravitz’s case serves as a learning example, highlighting the complexities of representation.

While the reasons behind this apparent oversight remain elusive, the ongoing dialogue emphasizes the need for a more inclusive appreciation of artists, especially in a musical landscape where genre boundaries continue to blur. Stay tuned to Honk Magazine for further updates on Lenny Kravitz’s journey in the ever-evolving world of music.
