RIAA gold-selling Chicago rap virtuoso and Pivot Gang leader Saba links up with GRAMMY® Award-winning super-producer and the "Godfather of Chicago Hip-Hop" No ID for a collaborative single titled "Back In Office". It notably paves the way for the release of additional tracks from the private collection of this dynamic duo.
On the track, No ID’s throwback production tempers a simmering beat with bluesy guitar and lush strings. Meanwhile, Saba fires off one quotable rhyme after another as he reminds, "I’m from Chicago. We invented mobsters". before issuing a warning, "I filet a voyeur like I’m Oscar De La Hoya.” Building towards a chantable refrain, "Young Sebastian back in office", the track evokes Windy City soul elevated by undeniable wordplay. Directed by Ian Lipton, the single is accompanied by a cinematic stripped-down music video with a focus on Saba as he delivers his consistently hard-hitting bars... watch below.

Recently, Saba shut down Rolling Stone’s "Future of Music SXSW Showcase" at ACL Live at the Moody Theater with a stunning set. Rolling Stone proclaimed, "The west side Chicago MC is a laidback presence onstage, killing you softly with his understated verbal dexterity". Additionally, he appeared on Planet Giza’s "WYD" and dropped the acclaimed Few Good Things early last year. Beyond amassing hundreds of millions of streams, his growing catalog notably includes the gold-certified “Photosynthesis” [feat. Jean Deaux] and the EARTHGANG and J. Cole gold-certified banger “Sacrifices” [feat. Smino & Saba], which graced the tracklisting of the Billboard 200 #1 album Revenge of the Dreamers.
