Chicago’s Saba has bars. We know that, but I wanted to reiterate it here. I know you’re expecting me to dissect the track and talk about the multis and his slightly off-kilter flow on this one and all that. Nope. Today, I’m going to just vibe to the track like a listener tends to. Check […]

About ten years ago, I recorded a song, as J dot Speed, called “I’m A King.” I was tired of people seeing me as less than them for whatever reason. I wanted to make an anthem for people to rock with and showcase, lyrically, why I stayed heads and shoulders above some of the people […]
