Saba’s latest album has put him another box. His work is elite in every sense of the word. CARE FOR ME is easily a contender for album of the year. “HEAVEN ALL AROUND” acts as the final song and ultimately concludes an album which documents his struggles, environment and relationships through thorough storytelling. With this song, he saves his best for last.
The song is based on choral style arrangement. A piano plays an enchanting melody based on gospel chords. The accompanying percussion is light but essential as it creates a great foundation for Saba to bear his soul. Saba rhymes from the perspective of someone dying and about to enter heaven’s gates. Its a conclusion on behalf of his cousin (who passed away through community violence) that carries religious undertones.
Saba manages to narrate eloquently as he gives insight into his cousins mindset and beliefs. It’s a captivating experience that leaves ones soul open and in awe.

About The Curator - Dithekgo Mogadime
A Hip-Hop purist at heart. Currently pursuing a law degree. I love anything related to music (specifically – R&B, jazz & hip-hop), sports (specifically – football, rugby, basketball & golf) and fashion.
I find most enjoyment in laying back, listening to music and interacting with my friends. If not socializing, I’m bound to be shouting at my TV – trying to tell Eden Hazard to shoot as he flicks the ball unnecessary. Sometimes I spend hours glued at my screen, watching Netflix in bed.
I’m a kind, cool and collected persona. I tend to live life without limits, finding enjoyment in every action and keep smiling through it all. I would sacrifice anything to keep my loved ones happy. I’m supportive and I’m happiest when everybody around me is smiling and shinning.
