After a couple of years of grinding, the hustle is finally paying off for Six One Tribe. Formed out of East Side mid-pandemic marathon recording sessions, the Tribe collective pulls together some of Nashville’s most interesting voices in hip-hop to create something totally unique. On the JustVibez-produced “10,000 Hours” — a prelude to Tribe Over Everything, their debut LP due in November — Tribe-affiliated rappers Negro Justice, Corduroy Clemens, Weston, Riø Tokyo and Namir Blade form up like rap Voltron, bouncing off each other like they’re Dipset in the ’90s. Watch yourselves — the whole tribe’s climbing up.
