“From The Private Collection of Saba and No ID” shows love to the West Side of Chicago
Saba is the Westside Wizard of Chicago and we have known this about him for some time now. He has done nothing but get better with time with each body of work he has put into the world since the blog era. The Pivot Gang member has worked with some of the world’s very best and it still doesn’t explain the genius that’s built into Saba’s music specifically. The west side native has carved a very unique lane into hip-hop that doesn’t get talked about enough. Seriously, he really got sons out here because of his unique flow, tone, and creative ability. Each record and feature he contributes to is done is such a way it reflects the rare and generational greatness coming from artists claiming Chicago’s West Side. Saba doesn’t make music that’s of pop culture. He makes music that elevates what can be done as an emcee while also still being original. He has always spoken about human growth and how being from a family of musicians and a community of open mics like Youmedia & Young Chicago Authors has crafted him to be the artist he is. Saba is leading the new Chicago wave because of his dedication to be authentic and original with his approach to sound. You can’t deny how powerful Saba’s fanbase is in Chicago and around the world. This new body of work shows that and how even with all of the accomplishments Saba has, he’s still only just getting started..
