Six is the sixth and final studio album by American hip hop group Whodini. It was released on September 17, 1996 via So So Def/Columbia Records, making it the only album released for the label. Recording sessions took place at KrossWire Studio, Doppler Studios and Bosstown Recording Studios in Atlanta, at Record One and at Mystic Studios. Production was handled by Jermaine Dupri, who also served as executive producer, Dave Atkinson and Ross "Spyda" Sloan, with co-producer Carl So-Lowe. It features guest appearances from the Lost Boyz, Mr. Black, Nicole Jackson, R. Kelly, Trey Lorenz and Trina Broussard.

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 and Run-DMC among others.

In the United States, the album debuted at number 55 on the Billboard Top R&B Albums chart. Its lead single, "Keep Running Back", peaked at 69 on the Hot R&B Singles[1] and No. 27 on the Hot Rap Songs charts.[2]
