23-year-old Benjamin Saint from Watford is a rising hip-hop and R&B beat producer that you urgently need to get familiar with. With influences like Just Blaze and J Dilla, and citing 9th Wonder's Wonder Years, Dre's The Chronic and Blur's Parklife, it's clear Saint is as much a student of melodies and hooks as he is beats. His most recent drop, "Since U Went Away", turned some heads with its melancholic soul vibes and "Thank You" looks set to build on that in a big way. You can hear the nods to Dilla and 9th Wonder via the dreamy soul sample at the forefront but, unlike "Since U Went Away", "Thank You" is more uplifting, and lighter for it. A brief but soothing listen.
