He’s refined his craft and storytelling and has begun recording in a new studio in his Atlanta home for the first time, built with the help of his brother T3. So writing an album for his lost friend became therapy for Sahbabii detailing memories, pain, anger and the grief-fuelled temptation to get revenge on his opps: “today might be the day we shoot the tattoos off his face, today might be the day we go outside and stay out late”.ĭespite a heavier tone, there is still plenty of humour on the project - songs titled after words from his late friend’s vocabulary, like ‘Boofalay’ (Demon’s slang for a party) and ‘Dickalationship’(self-explanatory), not to mention the countless bars bound to catch you off guard if you’re fast enough to hear them.Īll in all, the Sahbabii who captured audiences with songs about anime titties back in 2018 is still very much present, but he’s grown as an artist and as a person. Sah reveals that Demon Child had often told him to rap more openly about his life, pain, and their experiences growing up as misfits in Atlanta. Sahbabii’s latest album, Do It For Demon, is a musical dedication to his late friend, and on it, we hear Sah at his most personal, vulnerable and contemplative. He first started making music with his older brother T3 and some kids from his area, including his best friend Demon Child, who grew up alongside Sah and was accepted by his family as one of their own-so much so that they would tell people they were cousins from their early teens up until Demon’s tragic passing in early 2021. Having moved from Chicago in his early teens, Sahbabii spent his formative years along Sylvan Road in Atlanta’s South-West. Sah’s original recipe has gained him a cult-like following, including fans such as comedian Zack Fox, whose top comment on Sahbabii’s ‘Bread Head’ insists, “He literally can’t make a bad song”.

These elements work in unison to bury his sharp wit and original worldview a few layers deeper, rewarding the audience as they pick up on more with each listen. His lyrical content is packed with nostalgic one-liners, brain-melting sexual innuendo and endearingly weird ad-libs. Sahbabii, for the uninitiated, is a rap anomaly whose unique approach to music moonwalks a tightrope between bizarre and genius. I’m not changing.” It’s a perfect summary of the Atlanta artist and his approach, straight from the squid himself.
