Saba
Few Good Things

 

60--100点相当。

NMEが満点。

 

平均だとギリギリ高評価に届くかという感じ。

 

好みにもよると思うが、

アルバムとしては、本当によく出来ており

飽きさせない作りとなっている。

 

Chicago has been the birthplace of numerous rap juggernauts, from Chief Keef and the whole drill scene to pop renovators like Ye, but its newer (and less appreciated) underground scene is nothing short of spectacular. Now three albums in, native rapper Saba keeps delivering shimmery records of awakening hope, birthed from his observations of suffering in Austin, a suburb in the city’s west. On ‘Few Good Things’, the 27-year-old celebrates the wins, no matter how small they are.

His beat choices are simply amazing here. Saba can produce his own stuff, but he can pick a good beat too. monte booker, a superstar producer in the same scene as Saba, joins forces with Spillage Village vocalist Mereba for ‘Simpler Things’; the trio create a pixellated fantasy. In the space of three-and-a-half minutes, Saba shows off his three sides (laidback, zippy and sultry) as he demonstrates his true versatility.
