Saba has shared his highly anticipated new album Few Good Things.
The project includes previously released singles “Survivor’s Guilt” with G Herbo, “Come My Way” with Krayzie Bone, “Stop That,” and “Fearmonger” with Daoud. The tracklist is rounded out with appearances from 6lack and Smino on “Still,” Black Thought and Eryn Allen Kane on the title track, and Pivot Gang on “Soldier.”
The Chicago rapper will also release Few Good Things: The Short Film on his YouTube on Feb. 10 at 9 p.m. ET. The film was directed by C.T. Robert—who shot the album’s cover art—and had a premiere event this week with a conversation between Saba, Robert, and Brandon “Jinx” Jenkins. See the trailer above.
“The concept of Few Good Things is the realization of self after a search for exterior fulfillment,” Saba said in a statement. “It is the satisfaction and completeness you gain by simply living a life that is yours. Few is a small number, but few is not lonely. In the face of all adversity, a few good things is recognizing and accepting blessings. Few is to count them, one by one—an empty glass is full of air, an empty bank is full of lessons, and an empty heart is full of memories. Few good things is to grow comfortable with the empty, and despite that, finding your fullness.”
On Thursday, the Pivot Gang member wrote a note to fans and followers, explaining that while his work is an outlet for the trauma and grief he and his people have endured, it also encompasses the full spectrum of emotions.
