Six is the sixth and final studio album by American hip hop group Whodini and their first and only record released via Jermaine Dupri's So So Def label. It was released in 1996 along with the single "Keep Running Back". Audio production was handled by Dave Atkinson, Red Spyda, Carl So-Lowe, and Jermaine Dupri, who also served as executive producer.

Unlike other albums, this is the first album of Whodini with extensive use of expletives in lyrics due to changes of the rap industry growing. Also, the album doesn't continue the trend of 80s esque synthesizer sounds and discarded with a hard-core edge style pioneered by LL Cool J Onyx & Run-DMC among others.

Chart performance

The album peaked at No. 55 on the Billboard Top R&B Albums chart.[3] The single, "Keep Running Back", peaked at No. 27 on the Hot Rap Songs chart[4] and No. 69 on the Hot R&B Singles chart.[5]
