Saba and No ID have shared “hue_man nature”, a fresh take on their upcoming collaborative mixtape From the private collection of Saba & No ID. Listen to the track below.
Over soulful guitar and a climbing bassline, the fast-paced “hue_man nature” sees an angry Saba lamenting our inevitable tendency to put ourselves above others. “Damn it / I’ve been struggling with it, I didn’t say anything / You were busy asking me for favors,” he sighs.
In a statement, No ID expanded on the meaning of “hue_man’s nature” by reflecting on selflessness. “To be able to have a real career,” he said, “you have to reinvent your thought process, reinvent your perspective.” “And you can’t do that while you’re sitting on top of the mountain, screaming about what you’ve done. You think you know—and then everything changes.”
