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
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.
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.
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.
@@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
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
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 💯
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 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

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
Tired of people saying Saba is underrated. Nobody has underrated this talent. Everybody know he lit. I hope he won't allow this hype to mess with his journey.
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 💐💐💐💐
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.
Who else been with Saba since bucket list and comfort zone?

I’ve been saying this to my friends all day
How many of y’all spreading the name !
@@playerone2480 oh you already know!
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
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
"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.
fr
Aesop rock is more underrated imo but Saba is deff in top 3
Lucki
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.

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!!!
Lord forgive them haters, they don't know gospel. This man been preaching for a while now
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.
Chi-Town still producing some of the finest artists; Saba, Mick Jenkins, Poodieville to name a few.
Saba has the best way to interact with fans in the game

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
He mastered the art of flowing extra crazy and still staying on beat
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

he’s better than Cole and yes care for me > any cole project
I love it when he hops on them distorted keys with the sparse drums in the back 🤤 sheeeeesh

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
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
Bro can't make a bad song. Most underrated rapper out rn
Ziplock boutta be a certified classic😭😭🔥🔥
Ziplock is confirmed a certified classic
Facts! 🔥🔥
Snap both of em
The hook was fire
Still here in 2024 , song is Real 🔥💯
This world been missing Saba's perspective
You know your good when you can make people listen to music for 5mins in 2021.
The different flows and voices on Rich don’t stop are insane
tallent speak
The flow on rich is sickkk
Ziplock issa masterpiece in itself.
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 💯
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
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
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.
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
th-cam.com/video/_-episHcYME/w-d-xo.html
Saba's fit in this vid is equally as fire as these tracks! 🔥🔥🔥
Love how the last several videos have just been him vibing out
yeah fr
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!
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
Saba’s melody & cadence is on another level. Master of craft. Eventually the world will see the greatness & appreciate it.
It’s impressive how underrated Saba is
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
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
I just discovered saba today I thought i died bcz i just experienced what Heaven is like❤
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.

Someone who deserves to be on the freshman list...but won't get the credit he deserves.....a legend in the making
Im so glad my friend showed me photosynthesis bc ever since 2018 he’s always been my top 2 rest easy Walt 🙏
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
ducking do it
I wouldn't listen to Rap music anymore if it weren't for shiid like this. Keep unloading the heat.
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
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 :)
You’re so dope putting the texts together and the images leading to all this ‼️ PIVOT
Zip lock been on no skip ever since it made it's way to my playlist. Mate got fire for days
i can now say I was here before this blew up 🔥
Same broski!!!!

Saba keeps getting better everytime, love from South Africa
🇿🇦
that “watch my soul, watch my bro, we was both struggling” hits different
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
U know it’s a good day when Saba drops new music 🔥🔥
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
Why is Saba just the best?
i love the color palette in this video
The consistency, growth, originality, creativity, quality... You a legend in my book bro 💯🏁
that like/dislike ratio should speak volumes for the music quality and loyalty of this fanbase
no its called growth hacking he wont buy the dislikes flat out
@@MarijuanaRecordsArkansas elaborate
What this man just dished out , best believe I'm eating it all . Saba , Mr. Pivot you killed it .
th-cam.com/video/fnRjwBwBjnE/w-d-xo.html
"I said the grind don’t stop till my vitals stop" reminded me of 401K on his Comfort Zone album.
Saba is most definitely top 10
I feel like saba is more for people who understand melody and music theory
2022 just discovered him. Already in love . Kinda remind me of goldlink
Hey, hey
I was in West Oakland, California
When I found out about a piece of me
All this solitude around
I'm starting to see when I'm alone, the shit I think
I come from the part of town not talked
About, but chalk get outlined if you blink
I can't go outside today
That shine'll fade, and that go along with my peace
All these energies and entities
And people that just want shit from me
I can't make this up
The luxuries of being broke as fuck been escapin'
Not to sound ungrateful 'bout the
Blessings, but my best days are all in my past
I been workin' like a slave
I'm proud to say now lil' bitch I'm in my bag, ay
And it ain't a ziplock, wеnt and got a wristwatch
Cop'll never respond, anytimе I risk my life
Clocking out, the tic toc, watch it all on TikTok
I'm willin' to bet it all, I'm willin' to risk my life
And it ain't a ziplock, went and got a wristwatch
Cop'll never respond, anytime I risk my life
Clocking out, the tic toc, watch it all on TikTok
I'm willin' to bet it all, I'm willin' to risk my life
Mm, yeah, yeah
I was in Bronx, New York
When I decided this the type of life that I'd live
I make sacrifices
What the fuck you writing for? You know you do not give
I got right back on my feet
I fell face first, the first time I'll admit, I did
Took a couple years for me to feel
Like I did not fall upon all deaf ears
Niggas wanna wait, but I call that fear
At least I got a place for if all else fails
Nigga, I went on a date, told her call that Lyft
I told her, "Lose my line and don't call back here"
Yeah, I'm 'bout to lose my mind, I got all that care
They listen to me rhyme and can't hold back tears
Gamble on a life, but it won't be fair
Trade it all for some sand and a beach chair
And it ain't a ziplock, went and got a wristwatch
Cop'll never respond, anytime I risk my life
Clocking out, the tic toc, watch it all on TikTok
I'm willin' to bet it all, I'm willin' to risk my life
And it ain't a ziplock, went and got a wristwatch
Cop'll never respond, anytime I risk my life
Clocking out, the tic toc, watch it all on TikTok (TikTok)
I'm willin' to bet it all, I'm willin' to risk my life
I love finding new original artist that you can tell are genuine
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.
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
can we talk about how drippy his fit is?? 💯💯
yes. yes we can
the hat tho sheeeesh
need ID on them pants asap lol
Reg clothes🙄
Thats why they better
Right! His pants are fire🔥
I keep saying Saba had the best verse in sacrifices....
Since i discovered him I've been a fan
Best sample of J Cole’s “Be Free” 💯
Thank you it was driving me crazy I could not for the life of me
Saba, Smino, LeRoyce, Samsonyte, Sylvan, Kota... My dream team of rap currently.
we neeeeeeed more kota and saba
saba bro like honestly all u do is drop bangers ur underrated af
Tired of people saying Saba is underrated. Nobody has underrated this talent. Everybody know he lit. I hope he won't allow this hype to mess with his journey.
Numbers are not the standard anymore.
he's underrated
Brings hard times to your mind
Every time I listen it gets better and better...
Never ever misses

Saba the most underrated, I honestly feel like he's kendrick levels.
Yea he has big potential
i dont think hes ever released anything bad
He's phenomenonal
Safe

Saba is unique his lyrics just hit different all his of his lyrics is good vibes 💯💯💯
This man really is going to be the GOAT of our next generation taking the Baton from Kendrick and Cole
Him and cordae
Reinaldo Martinez JID up there too. Those 3 gonna be the three headed monster
@@a-nicks8344 ong
Most definitely cole should sign him
@@Poetryforstoners I think he’s definitely gonna be a Dreamville artist. That would

The kids of this generation need to hear this type of music for real.
I’ve listened to this 12 times in a row non stop 🔥🔥🔥🔥
you can tell bro chakras aligned
frrrrrr
Imma just put this on repeat till it hits a million
Been listening to Saba since "Bucket list"...his musical elevation has been crazy.
