Meet Hip Hop artist 6merta
When did you first fall in love with hip-hop? Who influenced you growing up through music?
When I was a teenager I was about 15 years old. The artist that I paid attention to was Anthony Hamilton. The song that I really liked was “Coming From Where I’m from”. I also listened to 2pac and the song that caught my attention was “Hail Mary”. Dirty Boyz was a hip-hop group that also helped influence me musically.
Who is 6merta?
I’m a hardworking man from Mississippi who enjoys family life and also the musical aspect of things. I want my supporters to know that I’m going to continue to work hard to get what I want.
What do you remember about your first time on the stage?
My first performance was in club Ohara in Mississippi where I performed “The Pill Man”. It was crowded and the people were feeling my stage presence.
What is your all-time favorite song?
My all-time favorite song is by Fabolous featuring Nate Dogg, "Deny It”.
Who would you like to collaborate with musically?
I would like to collab with a rapper named NoCap, Lyfe Jennings, and Nicki Minaj. I would also like to do a tribute to Mo3 because his music is the reason why I’m here.
What are the new projects that you have out?
My latest songs are called “All I know” and “Love When They Doubt”.
Out of all of the songs that you’ve written which one means the most to you and why?
The song that means the most to me is “Love When They Doubt” because I resonate with the lyrics because it’s true, it’s my life.
What are your goals for your music career?
My goal is to tour internationally and visit different countries. While I’m there I would like to experience new cultures. Also, my goal is to have my music in shows like “Power” and “Snowfall”. I want to also have my music in documentaries and different films that correlate with my music. My other goal is to land sponsorships with major companies.
