Saba • "Soap Box"
Is two drops in as many months cause for excitement and speculation about a new Saba album on the way? Well, it is for me! After dropping off "GPS" featuring his father, Saba transitions from the uptempo and bouncy to something a little tougher on "Soap Box". Complete with strings, keys and head nodding drums, Phoelix and Saba offer up a tag team performance on the production that serves as a perfect platform for Saba to get some stuff off his chest. The output has been few and far between for Saba in recent months, but he continues to reassure us that he's working on his best project yet. After listening to releases like today's "Soap Box", I'm inclined to believe him. The combination of great music and the increased media attention following Saba's second Chance The Rapper endorsement, he's about to take flight. *Rocket Emoji*
More Saba
"Studio Ground Rules,” the third single off the yet untitled project, is a rundown of the Pivot Gang etiquette.
Rolling out singles in such a steady pace as Saba continues on his tour representing Chicago overseas, is an impressive feat alone.
Loaded with an ammunition of unruly verses, hooks and refreshing flows, Saba, Joseph Chilliams, MFnMelo and FRSH Waters individually yet, collectively held their own on their latest track “Blood”.
Saba’s collaborations and work with other artists always demonstrates the skill each one has and brings out something more for each person involved
Saba consistently proves himself to be on top of the game. With his album, Care For Me, which dropped in April, he follows up with his new single “Stay Right Here” and does not disappoint
Taking a step back and acknowledging the bigger picture, the triumph of Pivot Gang’s You Can’t Sit With Us is what makes it even more exceptional. The album feels in service of each other first and foremost which in turn makes it a labor of love.
