When you think about Chance the Rapper’s ‘Angels’, you think about that heavenly hook of, that’s right, Saba. The rapper and producer has only been in the game for a relatively short time, but he and Chance are the vanguard of Chicago’s cultural revival. Ever since his first album, Bucket List Project, featuring artists like Noname and Twista, Saba has steadily worked on a global take-over. This talented MC is a must-see for your bucket list in 2019, and he’ll be playing BIRD on 24 February.

With his melodic beats and profound bars, Saba has scored fans across the entire musical spectrum. It’s therefore no surprise his second album, Care For Me, is getting mad love from music critics and fans. With his efforts, the rapper is positioning himself as one of the most talented hip hop artists of his generation. And he’s here to stay… as he spits in ‘There You Go’: “I’m not here for the 15 minutes. All my team is winning.” Saba will continue this winning streak in BIRD on 24 February – and he can spit for more than 15 minutes. ?
