Few Good Things

Saba

SABA OH! Saba....

New private playlist

saba

At the time of making this record I was beginning to realize how big of a hold fears actually had on me. With big decisions to make, I was never sure if I was doing the right thing. Fearing if I was actually doing enough. I’m saying we’re embedded with this “irrational fear”. The song takes this concept and kind of turns it slightly abstract by assigning a character to “fearmonger”. I’ve never made a record that sounded anything like this and part of the fun of releasing music is to create worlds sonically and have people trust you to show them around your own imagination. 

"Fearmonger" feat. Daoud
Written by Saba, Joseph Chilliams and Daoud
Produced by Daoud and daedaePIVOT

LYRICS
(Saba)
Okay the money on the way it’ll lay by the first 
Adolescence I would curse on the way to the church 
My career just turned to cursive how I connect the words
Ain’t grow up with much of shit but still it coulda been worse 
He ain’t focused on her pants he want get in her purse 
I need it all in advance if they book me to work 
From we barely had a chance left the crib on alert 
To a crib with alarms and security perks 
Insecurity hurts the same way jewelry works 
So if you paying to flex, pay your security first 
No point in paying for whips to ride a funeral hearse 
We be prepared for the best but also fearing the worst 

Okay every nigga that I know is scared of going broke 
I know if I fall back down ain’t no one there to lend me rope 
Okay and every nigga that I know takes care of so and so 
So ain’t no option option option 
You best go make more

(Saba and Daoud)
Cause fearmonger live amongst us 
I feel hunger hunger but guess 
I feel something at least 
I need something to eat 

When fearmonger live amongst us 
I feel hunger hunger but guess 
I feel something at least 
I need something to eat 

(Saba)
And scared money never made money what I was taught 
But once you make money you’ll be more afraid than us all 
My grandfather drove a corvette convertible car
He passed away and left his will to the fate of the stars 
I made a cool mmmmm all for saying a bar 
I was scared to spend a dime like what if I die tomorrow 
Would my fam intervene for a bag of the g’s 
In a black model 3 sheesh passenger seat 
Would my fans leave if I can’t put asses in seats 
If I log out an app or I lack a retweet 
I’m just scared to go back didn’t have shit to eat 
Half my bread go to taxes the actual thieves 

Okay every nigga that I know is scared of going broke 
I know if I fall back down ain’t no one there to lend me rope 
Okay and every nigga that I know takes care of so and so 
So ain’t no option option option 
You best go make more

(Saba and Daoud)
Cause fearmonger live amongst us 
I feel hunger hunger but guess 
I feel something at least 
I need something to eat 

When fearmonger live amongst us 
I feel hunger hunger but guess 
I feel something at least 
I need something to eat 

I’m dropping pounds 
I hear my stomach growl 

I’m dropping pounds 
I hear my stomach growl 

I’m dropping pounds 
I hear my stomach growl 

(Daoud)
Yes fearmonger lurk among us
I done clawed my way up 
But that bottoms callin me down
Slip and I’ll drown

Survivor's Guilt ft. G Herbo

Stream & download: https://melting-pot-music.lnk.to/concretoSC

German Jazz/Beat duo Pachakuti & young.vishnu are taking their joint project to new heights. Organically developing instrumental Hip-Hop into full-fledged orchestral Jazz and Groove, they create an excitingly eclectic blend of world music traditions. ‘Dédalo de Concreto’ is the first single off their upcoming project.

Pachakuti is a musician and producer with family roots in Colombia. He plays keys, tenor saxophone and clarinet. While living and working in Berlin, he draws inspiration from the natural world, investigative travels, and ancestral traditions of Latin America and beyond. His expressive and rhythmical playing and his instantaneous compositions are directed at the human core, arousing subtle experiences. While not being conformed to one style, it always invokes a sense of liveliness and depth to be delved in.

young.vishnu is a producer and DJ. He has studied philosophy and music in Hildesheim, Germany, which heavily influenced his views on meaning and mythology in music. In his DJ sets he selects and plays classic and contemporary Funk, Soul and Afrobeat. His practice as a DJ informs his work behind the boards directly, adding also more organic grooves and broader spectrum of musical styles to his in Hip-Hop based production.

If you had to put one single tag on their music, the best choice would be Jazz. That being said, Pachakuti and young.vishnu’s sound worlds might be better described in their own words: „We just make music and try to incorporate what we love about it“. They are musical freethinkers with shared interests in eastern philosophy and botany who interweave Hip-Hop, Latin and Funk with musical storytelling and world mythology.

Mixed and mastered by Roe Beardie at The Brewery Studios, Berlin. The album artwork emerged through a collaboration between Mexican painter Sergio Chávez Hollar and Carsten Pölking of Nima Compositions Archive.

Pachakuti & young.vishnu signed with Melting Pot Music in 2020 and released their debut album ‘Semilla’ in the same year. Followed by a string of singles and EPs.
