Saba Tours His Hometown In The “Westside Bound 3” Video
As that one jacket says: “Chicago ’till the world blows up.”
Saba's track "Westside Bound 3" is rich and nimble track about the dimensions of the rapper's Chicago upbringing, so it's only right that the music video for the Bucket List Project track would feature some of the city's iconic and lesser-known institutions. Filmed in a classic home movie filter, Saba and Pivot Gang's Joseph Chilliams tour the westside and meet up with their neighbors in settings like the United Center arena, Davis Park, and snowy residential areas.
After you watch, buy tickets to Saba's upcoming North American tour, then check out his explanation of some special Chicago sayings for The FADER's The Slang Show. You can also listen to Saba's appearence on comedian Hannibal Buress's podcast The Handsome Rambler.
