He was on the dreamville album and a song on judas and the black messiah soundtrack.he has a song with 80 million views on spotify. Saba is one of my all time favorite rappers but I wouldn’t call him underrated at all.
This time 2 years ago I was homeless sleeping in my car.... Right now, Got a good paying job. A good woman my own apartment. On my 28th birthday I was sleeping in a slide at playground. It was too hot inside the car, and I didn't want to sleep with my windows down. It started to rain. The water ran down the slide and soaked all my clothes. I went to a 24-hour laundromat, wash my clothes, sat down and heard this song. Been playing it ever since
Crazy how good he is and how underrated he is. I feel like for me he falls in a group of rappers like Joey Badass, Isaiah Rashad type rappers who are just so slept on but when you break it down to real rap… might be the best ones there are. Bar for bar , beats represent their hoods and just tell such good stories. Love this guy.
@@ethansmith3213 the keys in the melody have heavy distortion on them for texture. the drums are sparse in that they’re simplistic and few and far between. almost a space-y pattern
@@ethansmith3213 the main melody/chords especially on ziplock sound almost out of tune, and kind of warbly - not like a regular piano would sound. The drums are really simple, for the most part only a hi hat snare and kick drum, and there aren't a lot of them like mimiga said, so they are sparse
Saba, Lupe Fiasco, and Kendrick Lamar are some of the few that keep real true rap alive. This is superb artistry, poetry with a side of soul. Much love man, I'm proud to be a fan.
The quality is unreal. Especially from an artist with the following of his. Hope he blows up. Care for me was a masterpiece but I only heard of it last year. Only good thing about him having a smaller fan base is that us fans have a higher chance of him interacting with us personally lol
The more I listen to Saba the more I realize how special this mans music is. From the melodies to the message to the diversity of styles. Nothing else like it right now.
I just found out about Saba a couple days ago. I have been living under a rock for YEARS! This man is versatile and I can’t stop playing his albums and singles they are too good and beautiful.
That's that grind and perseverance cutting through, I met Saba in 2012. He's been cold since then and only gets colder. You should check out his older work too 💯
I remember talking to my boy from Chicago about our favorite hip-hip artists and he got mad when he found out I didn't know about Saba. I see why... this is art!
@@tylerl3905 I feel you! At this point, I feel evenly about both. Haha. At first I was like, "Rich Don't Stop is cool, but Ziplock is the one!" Now I'm just as hyped off both.
It’s crazy, cus we all obviously know how good this is bc we’re here, but still it won’t be until much later, that we actually realize just how supremely good is this brudda, as an all around quite phenom 🥲😌🥂🔥✨.
Man, I miss the days when I first heard Saba. Those were such simpler times I would kill for again. First child on the way and shes gonna be such a musichead
It has been an honor to watch this man grow into something so beautiful. Saba, you're something very special and I know you are aware, don't spread yourself to thin for these clowns. There's more ahead than you've yet to see.
How does this not have millions of views?! This song is a masterpiece. I love artists who can create songs that scream escape and allow you to detach from reality and drift away elsewhere even if it’s for a moment.🙏🏾 Thank you Saba here’s your flowers G 💐💐💐💐
Honestly for me, I learned of Saba when he was on angels with Chance the Rapper. Then I started to listen to songs like Photosynthesis, Life, and Busy/Sirens. Best song of 2021 is definitely ziplock
Ziplock is going to be the song that gets over 100 million listens bro. It's already a classic in my eyes. Thank you for making timeless music that envokes an emotional response so positive it completely shifts your mood for the better. I haven't felt that way since Tribe. Since Dilla. Since DOOM. Stay up and remain blessed homie.
This is the first song of his I’ve heard and now I’m hooked. Not only can this man rap like a god, the beat and melody is fire. Idk if this makes sense but like it’s aesthetically pleasing but not in the cliche way that everyone talks about lol. Def one of my fav rappers now man
Who else been with Saba since bucket list and comfort zone?
That’s the og
SOAPBOX 💫
@@noegutierrez5270 Since GetComfortable.
the REAL OG tape
@@chrisbird1183 I totally forgot about that tape I remember he dropped the areyoudown before I thank you man ima have to listen to it again
It’s not too often you have an artist who executes lyrics AND melodies. Saba is seriously one of the most underrated rappers period.
Straight up, saba gonna be a legend who is currently shaping an entire genre and guiding an entire generation with it.
and production
is there any artist you would recommend?
@@angelalvarez3921 Kota the friend, Aaron May, Smino and Isaiah Rashad! All four are great and very underrated
@@angelalvarez3921 basically everyone signed to TDE and Dreamville and thats a good start. youll find good independent artists just through algorithms
WHEN SABA PUT " / " IN THE TITLE YOU KNOW ITS GON BE AMAZING

On meeeee
"A lot of niggas quit just cause the road long," is a line that's been keeping me from quitting on my dreams the past few months.
Amazing. Easily the most underrated rapper out.

Aesop rock is more underrated imo but Saba is deff in top 3
Lucki

that’s fucking awesome man
Beautiful story man just like this song
God bless you
Incredible, maintain that velocity of progress, do not fall in another type of commodity.
Saba remains so underrated.
Istg
Actual fact
I’ve been saying this to my friends all day
How many of y’all spreading the name !
@@playerone2480 oh you already know!
I wish Ziplock were on the album. One of my favorite songs of his
thank you mr. saba for sending me a text message on my cellular device to notify me on the premiere of these two upcoming definite bangers
Oh really where can I have this privilege
Crazy how good he is and how underrated he is. I feel like for me he falls in a group of rappers like Joey Badass, Isaiah Rashad type rappers who are just so slept on but when you break it down to real rap… might be the best ones there are. Bar for bar , beats represent their hoods and just tell such good stories. Love this guy.
good comparisons.
Saba has quickly become one of my favorite artists. Great ear for beats, catchy melodies, bars on bars, good content, etc.
He produces too I think
Melody master
He makes his own beats
Bro is dope! Check out noti3 music too
Bro is dope tho! Check out noti3 music too.
I was in the train listening to this while thinking ‘bout my dad and I teared up because he’s the best dad ever.
He mastered the art of flowing extra crazy and still staying on beat
The flow on rich is sickkk
Ziplock issa masterpiece in itself.
I love it when he hops on them distorted keys with the sparse drums in the back 🤤 sheeeeesh
Ziplock boutta be a new favourite
@@benjaminminion2574 yessir...also can you please explain distorted keys and sparse drums to me i wanna learn what beats are

Shows your diversity or exposed how Even you pass judgement that judges your own ........
@@Gamingwithjerm3 Mind giving this comment another go? I can't figure out what it means.
JID
@@Gamingwithjerm3 he said “some of the few”, so he probably jus left Cole out on accident
Cordae
Smino
Vince staples
Flatbush zombies
Keem
Joyner
Some of the few I wanted to add too
Saba has the best way to interact with fans in the game
I LOVE the puzzles so much. He really fw his fans n it shows
@@rionnacarpenter4360 exactly, I love the phone one too felt really rewarding when I got the link to it early
how
@@davinci4660 yesss I was so upset when I couldn’t figure it out and it’s crazy because I live in that area code, but he one of the best fr
You know it’s good when it makes you
Sit and reflect on things, eyes closed, head boppin’
This dude is up there with Cole lyrically for sure.
Idk about that
@@iamhexoronii Agreed, Cole really gotta step up to be compared to Saba
Wehere n jake sounds goofy they have literally made music together
@@jakebarryb clown
he’s better than Cole and yes care for me > any cole project
This world been missing Saba's perspective
2024 we need u fully back bro
Saba, Aaron May, Isaiah Rashad all underrated asf...real ass music
My man. Just listed off my top 3 for this year.
@@whoisboppy yessir u know homie🙌
Aaron May keeps being so underrated it hurts. At least Isaiah and Saba got game recognition
Never heard of Aaron May. If you mentioning him in the ranks of Isaiah and Saba, I gotta check him out!
@@IAmWizdom1000 cant believe im just now hearing mick jenkins and kota the friend too!!!
Prime example of the term criminally underrated. Once his third album comes out I hope he finally gets the recognition he deserves…
The quality is unreal. Especially from an artist with the following of his. Hope he blows up. Care for me was a masterpiece but I only heard of it last year. Only good thing about him having a smaller fan base is that us fans have a higher chance of him interacting with us personally lol
He's a bit of a recluse
im 2 years late i just discovered this song!! can't take it off replay!!!
Real Saba fans stand up!
Too lazy
💂🏾♂️
never sat down
Always up
Texas checkin in
The more I listen to Saba the more I realize how special this mans music is. From the melodies to the message to the diversity of styles. Nothing else like it right now.
saba is criminally underrated
Yuh
top 5 in game currently
This song came around the time i was wrapping up my album i was recording at gassy's place
I just found out about Saba a couple days ago. I have been living under a rock for YEARS! This man is versatile and I can’t stop playing his albums and singles they are too good and beautiful.
Listen to care for me
That's that grind and perseverance cutting through, I met Saba in 2012. He's been cold since then and only gets colder. You should check out his older work too 💯
Saba’s melody & cadence is on another level. Master of craft. Eventually the world will see the greatness & appreciate it.
STRAIGHT 🔥
The fact that you're a fan of artists like Saba and Tobe makes me like you even more.
Kev!!!
I've yet to hear Kev tell a lie
CURVED!
I knew you would have a HEAD start in the comment section
Lord forgive them haters, they don't know gospel. This man been preaching for a while now
The different flows and voices on Rich don’t stop are insane
tallent speak
Saba NEVER MISSES!!! The production on these two songs are honestly one of my favorites out of all his music, been here since Bucket List Project :)
Killing it with the singles 👏🏼
We want a album tho😔
I hope he building album hype
I don't know, he dropped two songs as one a couple times for care for me, so hopefully this is a subtle hint an albums coming soon
@@prov8440 yeah an albums definitely gonna drop very soon

That "DON'T STOOOOP" Hits home .🥺❤🇿🇦
Ziplock boutta be a certified classic😭😭🔥🔥
Ziplock is confirmed a certified classic
Facts! 🔥🔥
Snap both of em
The hook was fire
Chi-Town still producing some of the finest artists; Saba, Mick Jenkins, Poodieville to name a few.
it pains me knowing how underrated this man is
he get pain
Not for long my friend, not for long
Him and JID need wayyyy more attention
Exactly! We live on upside down land
let's enjoy being the real ones for now, before all the bandwagons realize how great he is
Thank you for letting me hear this master piece. I'm at peace now
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Jesus Saba, you make me wanna start making music so bad
Do it
Do it
Do it bro
Do it

IS THAT OG SABA HAIR I SEEEEE
Love how the last several videos have just been him vibing out

Saba keeps getting better everytime, love from South Africa
🇿🇦
Im so glad my friend showed me photosynthesis bc ever since 2018 he’s always been my top 2 rest easy Walt 🙏
You know your good when you can make people listen to music for 5mins in 2021.
You’re so dope putting the texts together and the images leading to all this ‼️ PIVOT
I remember talking to my boy from Chicago about our favorite hip-hip artists and he got mad when he found out I didn't know about Saba. I see why... this is art!
It’s impressive how underrated Saba is
the ziplock beat is out of this world mann...
i can now say I was here before this blew up 🔥
Same broski!!!!
@@wyattkelly5381 BRING IT MATE!!! 🔥🔥
Saba's fit in this vid is equally as fire as these tracks! 🔥🔥🔥
I can't even describe how incredible Ziplock is.
yaah
YO
This is how i feel about Rich Don't Stop. Both are amazing but that one just resonates with me
@@tylerl3905 I feel you! At this point, I feel evenly about both. Haha. At first I was like, "Rich Don't Stop is cool, but Ziplock is the one!" Now I'm just as hyped off both.
@@aygabe i think that means you can change your original statement to “i cant even describe how incredible saba is”
Someone who deserves to be on the freshman list...but won't get the credit he deserves.....a legend in the making
WE NEED THAT ALBUM ASAP
i want it too, but he's taking his time to perfect it and I respect that. if its anything close to his last two its the best of 2021
3 years later and I still vividly remember the night this song dropped and the first time I listened to it. Will forever be a banger
Are y’all ready for this absolute banger of a song or what? Idk bout y’all but I’ve been needing some new Saba in my life lately. This shit gonna slap
faxxx
The consistency, growth, originality, creativity, quality... You a legend in my book bro 💯🏁
Saba really out here blessing his fans phone with messages he's a real one 🔥
How can I get them too?
@@douubleu6669 i think theres something on his website
Bro can't make a bad song. Most underrated rapper out rn
saba bro like honestly all u do is drop bangers ur underrated af
This guy hasn't dropped music in so long, I stopped looking out for it, and of course he drops this banger. The switch ups are always the best.
bro saba is so undefeated. no misses at all. love the vibes of this video too
Zip lock been on no skip ever since it made it's way to my playlist. Mate got fire for days
gah damn
ayyyyy highlight heaven didnt know you had that good taste in music too
It’s crazy, cus we all obviously know how good this is bc we’re here, but still it won’t be until much later, that we actually realize just how supremely good is this brudda, as an all around quite phenom 🥲😌🥂🔥✨.
U know it’s a good day when Saba drops new music 🔥🔥
As soon as the beat dropped I subscribed and added to my playlist this is dope
Inspiring AF :)
damn. love this
Love that you put the lyrics for this!! I'm foreign and it really helps to appreciate more the Art.
Love from Italy❤🇮🇹
Whenever I'm going through the most in my life, I always turn to your music. And your music always get me through it, man. Thank you.
this is how modern rap should sound like
Wishful thinking
It is
@@ma.2733 They now consider this alternative rap, trap music is the modern rap in my opinion
YES THANK YOU
@@brandont3252 mumble rap
3:50 this flow switch...
Always get chills when I listen to Saba to start my day, just such an inspiring human
Man, I miss the days when I first heard Saba. Those were such simpler times I would kill for again. First child on the way and shes gonna be such a musichead
"I said the grind don’t stop till my vitals stop" reminded me of 401K on his Comfort Zone album.
Instantly my one of favorite rappers, all I heard was this song and I knew 🔥🔥
It has been an honor to watch this man grow into something so beautiful. Saba, you're something very special and I know you are aware, don't spread yourself to thin for these clowns. There's more ahead than you've yet to see.
I wouldn't listen to Rap music anymore if it weren't for shiid like this. Keep unloading the heat.
How does this not have millions of views?! This song is a masterpiece. I love artists who can create songs that scream escape and allow you to detach from reality and drift away elsewhere even if it’s for a moment.🙏🏾 Thank you Saba here’s your flowers G 💐💐💐💐
What this man just dished out , best believe I'm eating it all . Saba , Mr. Pivot you killed it .
ua-cam.com/video/fnRjwBwBjnE/v-deo.html
that “watch my soul, watch my bro, we was both struggling” hits different
"Don't stop" is what I needed to hear. Thanks bro.
I don't know how I feel about rich don't stop, but ziplock was one of the best songs I've heard from him in a while.
Rich Don't Stop is really growing on me a few listens into both.
Woah I thought the opposite
First verse on "Rich Don't Stop" has the coldest flow imo.
We not gonna talk about how Passionate he sound on rich don't stop?!
Incredible. Never heard anything like Saba and Pivot Gang. Many blessings to u all bro
thank you for doin what you do. changing lives
You crushed it like always. This video is beautifully shot and edited too. Top notch, sir!

Please don't stop... Making those lyrics one day we'll be on top!!! Thanks
