Every Painting Has a Price ★★★★☆

Saba & NO ID ft. Eryn Allen Kane & BJ Chicago Kid

Saba’s pen is a paintbrush, and on Every Painting Has a Price, he’s creating a masterpiece in motion—vivid, introspective, and brutally honest. This isn’t just a track; it’s a meditation. Over a jazzy, free-form beat that feels like it's barely holding itself together (in the best way), Saba unpacks the cost of creation, fame, and staying true to self.

There’s a quiet intensity in his delivery—he’s not trying to impress, he’s just telling his truth. It’s stream-of-consciousness poetry laced with pain, wisdom, and resilience. The lines don’t just rhyme—they sting. Saba questions what it means to turn your life into art, and who really profits when your pain becomes someone else’s playlist.
