Chicago rapper Saba has surprised fans with a burst of new music, releasing his second project of the year titled C0FFEE!. The concise, 19-minute mixtape dropped on October 30, 2025, further cementing the artist’s reputation as one of hip-hop’s most creatively unpredictable and dedicated figures. The project follows his highly praised collaborative album with producer No I.D. earlier this year.
The Saba C0FFEE New Project gains immediate notoriety from its unique origin story: the rapper revealed that the entire 9-track project was written and recorded entirely within his black Bronco WildTrak truck, which he affectionately nicknamed C0FFEE! This constraint provides the album with a raw, intimate, and spontaneous sound, embodying the atmosphere of being “locked in” on the road.
The album features a handful of carefully selected collaborations, including appearances from artists like Ogi, Maxx Moor, Senite, and FELIX!. While sonically eclectic experimenting with shifting rhythms, soulful pockets, and minimalist beats the project remains lyrically grounded in Saba’s signature introspection, touching on themes of personal growth and perseverance.
The spontaneous release of the Saba C0FFEE New Project ensures that the rapper closes out 2025 with significant momentum. The project’s raw nature is a stark contrast to the highly refined production of his previous work, showcasing his versatility and commitment to artistic risk-taking. C0FFEE! is a reward for listeners who appreciate depth and complexity in modern hip-hop.
