Sab $tory is a rapper, singer, and producer from South Phoenix who's currently based in L.A. His new track "VYBE" finds him using all of his talents pretty evenly, as he lays down a warm vocal sample and some powerful drums, before breaking seamlessly between rap and melody. Sab explains the meaning behind his name as "no sob stories," a philosophy that extends to both his all-encompassing songwriting and his creative drive. "[It] means writing your own life story and not letting life write it for you."

"VYBE" fits into the current climate of rap-leaning R&B (or perhaps the other way around), but the sample-based approach and Sab's dynamic melodies make it a refreshing take on the formula.

Quotable Lyrics:
I was a kid with the vision
You were the first one to listen
Playing beats for you
You say is that me?
I'm like "yeah"
You like "n*gga, you gotta be kidding"
