Биография

A successful Black independent artist, Saba has rooted his career in an authenticity and musicality that’s made him one of his generation’s most important and unique voices in rap. The Chicago polymath is fresh off of his illustrious third studio album, Few Good Things (FGT), the follow-up to 2018’s critically acclaimed CARE FOR ME. The FGT album and film touched on themes of generational dialogue, reflection, community and Black ownership. The film, directed by C.T. Robert, received a 5/5 from NME and was highly esteemed. 
 Saba began making music at age 9 and was writing and producing songs by early adolescence. Building a recording studio in his Grandmother’s basement on the Westside of Chicago, he and a group of neighborhood friends formed their Pivot Gang collective. In 2019, J. Cole tapped Saba for the Dreamville collaboration album Revenge of the Dreamers III, in which Saba earned his first RIAA Gold certification for the song “Sacrifices.” That same year, Saba, Noname and Smino announced the creation of their Midwest super-group Ghetto Sage with the release of their debut track “Häagen Dazs.” 2022 marked Saba’s second RIAA Gold certification – this time for his own 2016 single “Photosynthesis.” 
 In 2023, Saba and super-producer, executive, and mentor No I.D. will drop their highly anticipated collaboration project – thee(TAPE). On the mixtape, Saba flexes his vivid story-telling, radiating confidence and self-made success over No I.D’s illustrious production.
