Saba
Chicago-born rapper/producer Saba writes hopeful yet realistic lyrics which address inner-city problems and political matters as well as spiritual concerns, mortality, and his own loss and grief. Saba's contributions to Chance the Rapper songs like 2013's "Everybody's Something" and 2015's "Angels" showcased his range as both a rapper and vocalist and paved the way for his introspective debut studio album, Bucket List Project, in 2016. The loss of a close family member inspired 2018's Care for Me, a tragically beautiful album that explored death, mourning, and life after losing a loved one. On 2022's Few Good Things, he grappled with the effects of his own success. From the Private Collection of Saba and No I.D., a warmer, more casual collaboration with the Chicago producer, appeared in 2025. He's also issued songs with artists like Mick Jenkins, Denzel Curry, and Xavier Omär, in addition to releasing an album with his Pivot Gang collective and forming the supergroup Ghetto Sage with Noname and Smino.Saba (Tahj Malik Chandler) grew up on the West Side of Chicago, specifically within the Austin neighborhood, as part of a deeply musical family. That's also where he formed Pivot Gang, a group of longtime associates that has featured, among others, his brother Jerrel (aka Joseph Chilliams), cousin Walter Long (aka John Walt), Logan Yutters (aka MFn Melo), Frsh Waters, and DJ Damnage. Saba recorded several solo mixtapes -- his first were issued while he was an introverted high-schooler -- and gained traction with ComfortZone, a 2014 release inspired by his father's neo-soul recordings that capitalized on his contributions to awareness-raising tracks by fellow Chicagoans Chance the Rapper and Mick Jenkins. In 2015, Saba appeared as a featured artist on several cuts, including Chance's "Angels," Jenkins' "Slumber," and Odd Couple's "What Kings Do." Additionally, he released the reflective Tink collaboration "Temporary," one of his most commercial songs to date. In late 2016, Saba self-released the LP Bucket List Project, featuring artists like fellow Chicagoan Noname and rapper Twista. In February of 2017, Saba's cousin, mentor, and Pivot Gang collaborator Walter Long was violently murdered by a stranger. Saba reflected on the scars left by this horrible loss throughout his second album, Care for Me, which was released in April of 2018. The vulnerable and emotionally complex album broke through with critics and took Saba's music to new audiences. He continued releasing singles throughout the year, including "Beautiful Smile," a collaborative single with Maryland rapper IDK, and "Stay Right Here," with Xavier Omär and Mick Jenkins. Pivot Gang's debut studio album, You Can't Sit with Us, arrived in April of 2019. Later in the year, Saba formed the supergroup Ghetto Sage with Noname and Smino, and the trio released their debut track "Häagen Dazs." Saba moved to Los Angeles in 2020 and continued work on his third solo full-length, and he issued a few tracks during the year, including "Something in the Water" (with Denzel Curry) and "Areyoudown?, Pt. 2" (featuring tobi lou). He released the album Few Good Things in 2022, with guests including Krayzie Bone, 6LACK, G Herbo, and Black Thought. "Back in Office," with No I.D., appeared in 2023. The two released additional singles like "hue_man nature" and "head.rap," then issued the full-length collaboration From the Private Collection of Saba and No I.D. in 2025. The jazzy, sampladelic effort included guests like Madison McFerrin, Kelly Rowland, Ibeyi, and BJ the Chicago Kid.
