SahBabii is absolutely inescapable right now and the way he's taken over these last 2 months of 2024 is beyond impressive. Titled after his birth name, his newest album Saaheem signifies a major turning point in his career as it feels like he's breaking out of old boxes to announce exactly who he is to the world. He balances his playful lyricism and audacity with deeper introspection reflecting on his personal experiences, serving as proof that he can be both insanely silly and dead serious at the same time. Lines like "I f**ked this lil' hoe raw now she actin' like me, she got all my DNA" and "I'm with a cute b**ch just like a triangle // Cheese in my hand, lil' n**** Doritos, I'm in the club with a bag of Doritos" exist on the same body of work as "I'm lonely, I miss you" and "I make mistakes and it's okay, baby just know I'm a regular person". The range in tone is honestly hilarious, and getting to see every side of him is what makes the rapper so likably human. Everything aside, the replay value of songs like "Viking", "Roll Wit Me", "On Film", and personal favorites "1095 Osborne St" and "Workin" are sky high. Huge shoutout to SahBabii for closing out this year strong and making it his.
