Dude, seeing Saba live was unreal because the music and he sounds exactly the same 😫🙌🏽 it was so beautiful and crisp, just like this performance. The whole team is so talented- I’ve been thinking about the concert ever since and it just really inspired me musically.

[@SabaPIVOT]

🙏🏾

[@michaeldoggett3150]

So much truth to this. It’s almost like he lets his music and talent speak for itself. Nothing else is needed.

[@sixtopocasangre1584]

I completely agree. Got to see him in LA. I was vibing the entire time. Such an incredible artist.

[@owntheday7694]

Saba is one of the greatest artists of this generation! Few good things was such a unique vibe🔥

[@iThinkThisaPod]

I see no wrong in this comment 👌🏾

[@slackstarfish8133]

Fr the best description for that album is “soothing”

[@PhoenixThomasITB]

It's a shame more people don't realize that

[@aesopf6926]

I’m so glad he performed Ziplock, thats one of his best singles that got swept under the rug, and this man has some top notch singles imo

[@gutsbrsk]

facts ziplock is amazing

[@myyoutubeaccount4167]

Agreed, although I feel almost everything Saba has is of similar quality, all being great. He's a really consistent artist IMO

[@deanjohnston1460]

2012 is beautiful! 😊

[@Wrldat]

❤

[@metamellow3093]

Saba is so underplayed/underrated and the biggest diamond in the rough! The story behind the music paints it's way like no other. Been here since The Bucklist Project✊️

"Who fam don't talk when they tired
There's more than what meets your eyelids
And live in the park just dyin' make you forget what you fight about
Plus what good is that flight? You ain't flyin' out your entire house"
deep.

[@Casper15CTRP]

Saba Is amazing

[@rajashsankarbordoloi2390]

For me “Few Good Things” is one of the best albums to come out in 2022.

Saba is Sam cooking it up always !I love how he brings it on home every single performance

[@carriebacy4566]

I discovered him when Care for me came out. I was pregnant and listened to him with my baby. He’s one of my favorite artist. I consider him to be an Icon. If only he could do a record with J Dilla 🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@sidneyg8470]

Saba is all time!! I saw him in Seattle in 2018 at Neumos - an amazing show, such a warm positive atmosphere. He deserves the world

[@sidneyg8470]

Saba is all time!! I saw him in Seattle in 2019 at Neumos - an amazing show, such a warm positive atmosphere. He deserves the world

So happy to see Saba on KEXP! He's an incredible artist who deserves more notoriety. Also, Larry Mizell Jr is a gem. Thanks for hosting!

[@emmanuelharris187]

Man seeing him in person for the first time at his show in Austin was incredible. The energy was there and we made sure he felt how hyped we was. All of the songs performed live was fantastic. From his older stuff to his newer stuff. Appreciate this guy so much man.

[@SabaPIVOT]

[@bhaihiri]

Does anyone have any idea what’s the time signature for free samples?

[@yougotcrad1]

Dude really did a clean set - I didn't think KEXP gave a shit?
lmao the track still said "fuck" in the 2012 hook

[@asvpXl3ssy]

Tryna search his Tiny Desk but it was deleted wtf. Then I found this.
