Dashawn Maurice Robertson[2] (2000 or 2001 – May 31, 2021), known professionally as Lil Loaded, was an American rapper. He rose to fame in the summer of 2019 after his song "6locc 6a6y" went viral.[1]

Robertson started rapping in late 2018. He rose to prominence when YouTuber Tommy Craze included his song "6locc 6a6y" in a reaction video in which he watched YouTube music videos with 0 views. "6locc 6a6y" would then gain over 28 million views on YouTube, and later certified gold.[2][3] Robertson later released "Gang Unit", which garnered more than 39 million YouTube views.[2]
After the "6locc 6a6y" hit, Robertson signed with Epic Records.[3] He released the mixtape 6locc 6a6y in 2019, and the mixtape CRIPTAPE and his debut studio album A Demon In 6lue in 2020.[4]

He was indicted on a lesser charge of manslaughter in connection with the incident in February 2021.[5][6]
