Ikeen Sherrod (born August 18, 1983), better known by his stage name Philly Tha Sixthman, is a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania native with the ability to write songs with meaning and concept that consist of real life experiences and situations.



“Take Tha Blame” one of many songs written by Philly Tha Sixthman, features R&B sensation Blunt Blazin, a Newport News, Virginia native and neighborhood f

riend who too has the same hunger, ambition and drive as any underground artist. “Take Tha Blame” has been performed at many events and venues in the Virginia area; Roc Tha Mic Night, Va Showcase Your Talent, Tha No Mercy Tour Pt. 1, Under Ground King Tour Pt. 3, The Berkley Community Reunion in Norfolk, Virginia, and Virginia Blendzville Awards 2008. One of the biggest events in which Philly Tha Sixthman has performed at is the 2007 Victims of S*x Offenders event. For his participation in the Victims of S*x Offenders event he was honored with a special appreciation and participation award. You may ask what makes the story of Philly Tha Sixthman different from the story of other artist underground and mainstream. This answer lies within the artist himself:

"My drive is for greatness and giving the world 75 percent of life’s true story. You may ask me why just 75 percent and not 100 percent—lets be real 25 percent of the concept in music today is pure entertainment. So in my case, the 75 percent the world gets from me I want to be the real me inside and out. Not only is this a story to the world but a message to my 8 year old son Tyrieck. I want my son to understand the trades of life and know that life is not a game to be played with, I want him to become the leader I know he can be and not the followers others may want him to be. “A Talk Wit My Son” which I performed at Afr’am Fest 2008, is a song in which I wrote in honor of my son Tyrieck telling him to live his life as a man and not the life of the next man. This was the perfect message through song informing my son of life and also to let him know that he can be a leader in anything he puts his mind and heart into.”

The Philadelphia native has worked with many Virginia local artists such as Big Jae and Walt-T of W.V.M.G/Hood Platinum, Pusha, Chosen, Erratic, and Niesh of the next up and coming label Fallback Ent. Swagz of Goonytunez Ent./Major Movement Ent., and Voe Black of Mega Music. Philly Tha Sixthman has also opened up for celebrity artists such as Beanie Sigel, Brick Squad Monopoly/Miazy R&B Artist Tarvoria, Charlie Boy, Cassidy, Ace Hood, Slick Pulla and Jim Jones.
