“In the world of SahBabii’s Squidtastic, the Atlanta rapper’s vivid imagery sounds like it belongs in a Miyazaki film, his weapon of choice is a ninja star, and all animals are to be cherished. It’s ridiculous and there is no place I would rather find myself lost in.” – Pitchfork

“SahBabii’s ‘Pull Up Wit Ah Stick,’ one of the best hip-hop songs of the past year, is a study in contrasts, full of tough talk delivered in a sweet, lithe, almost naïve voice. – The New York Times

“SahBabii…clearly possesses a giddy gift for integrating that influence into his own bright-eyed, delicately constructed singles” – Rolling Stone

“With his debut mixtape SANDAS, (SahBabii) created a bright and fun-as-hell sexcapade soundscape of a universe you can float through.” – The FADER

Perseverance and a distinctive way with light melodies pushed SahBabii out of the Atlanta rap underground. Born Saaheem Valdery, SahBabii was raised in Chicago until the age of 13, when his family moved south. Inspired by the activity in his new environment, SahBabii made tentative steps with a couple mixtapes, Pimpin Ain’t Easy and Glocks & Thots, released during his early teen years. Tepid reception left SahBabii dispirited, but after an extended break from recording, the rapper returned at the tail-end of 2016 with S.A.N.D.A.S., his third mixtape, with production from his brother T3. The tape’s “Pull Up with Ah Stick,” featuring Loso Loaded, exemplified SahBabii‘s refined synthesis of gunplay threats and candy-coated hooks. The track was licensed to major-label Warner Bros. and released commercially the following April. In 2018, he issued the singles “Outstanding” with 21 Savage and “Watery.” His highly anticipated follow up mixtape, Squidtastic, released at the end of Summer 2018.
