Saba And No ID Embrace ‘Hue_Man Nature’ In Their First Video From Their Upcoming Joint Mixtape

by

Chicago rapper Saba and prolific producer No ID have a promising project underway. This summer, the two will release a joint mixtape called From The Private Collection Of Saba & No ID via Artium Recordings. Ahead of the mixtape, the two have released a new song called “Hue_man Nature.”

On the track, Saba delivers smooth bars over a soft, silky guitar loop, while highlighting the faults of the human condition.

“Damn/I was going through it, didn’t say sh*t / Damn / You was busy asking me for favors,” he says on the song’s chorus.

In the song’s accompanying video, Saba is seen embracing the vibe of a desert as the sunset creates a warm, calming ambiance.

On the upcoming mixtape, fans can expect both of the Chicago heavyweights to share personal stories, while honoring the hip-hop veterans and their legacies. They also hope to pave the way for future generations.

“To be able to have a real career, you have to reinvent your thought process, reinvent your perspective,” said No ID “And you can’t do it sitting on the mountaintop, yelling about what you did. You think you know — and then everything changes.”

Chance The Rapper is making quite a lot of headlines lately for his new collaboration with Vic Mensa and G-Eazy for “Swish” as well as for getting enthusiastically twerked on at a carnival in a viral video. Either way, it looks like he’s keeping up the momentum with even more news.

Today (April 25), the performer announced that he’ll be celebrating ten years of his beloved album Acid Rap — which features hits like “Cocoa Butter Kisses” and “Favorite Song” — with a show in Chicago at the United Center with his collaborator Saba as support. He shared this exciting information on social media, along with a trippy teaser clip and a phone number where you can text him to stay updated: +1 (312) 494-1081.

He is also releasing the track “Juice” in its original format, coming Sunday, April 30.

In 2019, he discussed what that record meant to him in an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe. “When I first started working on [The Big Day], the concept, the theme,” he explained, “we have school, we have acid, we have faith and family, and the fourth one — really the first one — the concept was ‘Best Album Of All Time.’ And that’s not really a good concept to make an album. It gives you no direction.” He continued, “To me, personally, the best album of all time … Acid Rap.”

Saba Teams Up With No ID For The Slick New Song ‘Back In Office’

by

Last year, Saba unveiled his new album Few Good Things. It had a ton of features, such as 6lack and Amino for “Still,” Krayzie Bone for “Come My Way,” G Herbo for “Survivor’s Guilt,” and more. He’s back today (April 12) with another collaboration, this time with No ID for “Back In Office.”

It immediately starts off with a slick flow and only gets better throughout. “This is for the amateurs, this is what a master raps / Some of them not amateurs, but next to me they sound like that,” Saba flexes.

In our 2022 interview with Saba, he discussed his interest in visual mediums since he shot a short film called Few Good Things to go with his album.

“I think the cool part of being able to play music, but music specifically that is lyric-based, is that we’re able to use our language to set scenes,” he told Uproxx. “We can make our language really visual, and I think that’s one of the elements that make telling personal stories, firsthand, telling things that are valuable to me, I think that’s one of the things that makes it unique. It makes people connect to it, but I think it’s always been — with our writing style — it’s always been really visual.”
