Saga – Pretty Thing [Audio x Download]

Saga’s impressive creative streak can’t (and won’t) be stopped this year, as he follows up the chest-thumping “The Warrior” with a smooth and funky pimpin’ anthem in “Pretty Thing.” The rising emcee teamed up with fellow Brooklynite and up-and-coming producer Agassi for this track, which deviates from the pure banger of “The Warrior” for something a little more lowkey and perfect for the warmer weather. From the jazzy, melodic keys of the instrumental to Saga’s sweet-talkin’ rhymes—particularly the story he kicks on the third verse—“Pretty Thing” glides by with an unabashed cool. It’s the type of joint you’ll want to queue up for lazy weekend afternoons, when you’re begging for a swift breeze to cut through the hellish heat. And just like the other tracks he’s been releasing so far this year, “Pretty Thing” is a loosie that won’t appear on any upcoming project. That being said, he is working on something new, but just consider these songs an appetizer for what’s to come later this year. “Pretty Thing” is available for free download, and it can be streamed via SoundCloud, AudioMack, Spotify, and Tidal.
