Saba – Comfort Zone
This
mixtape is worth your time!
Up until now I was pretty oblivious to the fact that Saba was featured on Acid Rap´s “Everybody´s Something” but immediately felt familiar with this voice. This mixtape boast some of the best beats of this year. Lucid, others soulful and still as experimental as pure banging. You can feel some familiarity with Chance´s positive sounding work but there isn´t anything “strange” to Saba´s voice or style or rapping. He just goes off and does this with technique and vigor. It´s a perfect mixture of darker and introspective songs and those that deliver a feel good idea.

But
still, this young rapper comes through with good content and something to say
on his work: “Scum” is a great commentary on being categorized and pushed into
a corner on accounts of race. A clear standout and if one thing, this comes
close to something Kendrick would do. Expanding on this note, Saba doesn´t have
any particular sound and executes every familiarity with others rappers greatly.
I get some Rocky, Ab-Soul, Kendrick, Chance and yet feel none of them copied.
Comfort Zone gives you everything that is great about hip hop right now and
with this Saba might be one of the best rappers to have his break in 2014. Just
download it, you won´t regret any of these 60 minutes.
