In business the term Black Label, (also sometimes referred to as custom branding) usually refers to creating a completely unique product or service tailored to your specific requirements. In the context of Saga’s music, it means, taking a collection of loosies and nondedicated songs and building a project by designing new music around them to create a cohesive project.
The result is somber instrumentals that retain grainy soul samples, crackin’ drum patterns and gritty bars. Besides Saga’s contributions, featured guests on the project include LeZeppo, Adonis, Mac Montana, Iceburg Snub and Noyz. Guest producers include Quincy Tones, DJ Skizz, Cuth, Duke Westlake and Trox.
The Black Label Saga is a warmup to two other completed projects from Saga to drop this year. While this one is a sampler of the many styles and moods of the artist, the following two will be single producer and thematically focused affairs
With a lengthy history in the game, Saga’s 2015 debut full-length Out Of The Shadows was entirely produced by Marco Polo (Masta Ace, Torae). He followed that up with 2017’s Molotov with producer Thelonious Martin (Odd Future, Pro Era). When next he emerged in 2019 with the one-two punch of the Hagler EP and the Agassi LP, he demonstrated his own developed production skills. 2021 saw the drop of another two projects, Wisdom Wears The Crown EP and the Guttersnipe LP. He has appeared on tracks alongside such notables as Freddie Gibbs, Roc Marciano and Blu. He also toured Europe several times with such artists as Fashawn, Exile and Asher Roth.
In addition to these forthcoming releases Saga is also a member of The Drum Majors Production Team along with Marco Polo, DJ Skizz and Shylow.

Dmillyyy kicked off the month of love with the lead single, “Balance.” “Balance” was Dmillyyy’s first song of the year. The record served as a teaser for his new EP, Cupid Pack, which was released on Valentine’s Day. Cupid Pack is a five-track EP that dives into the intricacies of love. The EP is an eclectic body of work as it utilizes various genres of music, such as Alternative R&B, Melodic Rap, and Reggaeton.
Cupid Pack starts off with the song, “Thunderstruck.” The track is a record that features a wavy beat and Dmillyyy’s smooth flow. The sound is reminiscent of Jaden. The next track, “Balance,” is a fan favorite and for good reason. “Balance” has a bouncy beat that makes listeners want to groove. The record has a Drake feel to it. The catchy hook reels you in immediately. Dmillyyy cleverly sprinkles in some Spanish lyrics, which are a prelude to the third track on the EP. “Q.M. Interludio” follows “Balance.” The Latin Music interlude showcases the versatility that Dmillyyy possesses. The penultimate track, “WYGD,” is a downtempo, love song that is enchanting. The tune has a sample that blends well with the theme of the song. “WYGD” sets up the EP’s closer as “Madness” is another slow jam. “Madness” is the perfect finale. The sensual track embodies passion and love.
The EP’s introspective/extrospective take on love provides all listeners with songs that resonate with them. Although each song has its own flavor and unique sound, they still connect and carry a cohesive message. “Cupid Pack is an image painted to describe different emotions that may arise for particular love interests.” Dmillyyy continues: “Sometimes it isn’t that serious and just the feeling that you want to cherish. Sometimes the other’s existence makes you want to question everything and reflect back on your own life. Either way, both parties are living in the moment and letting that lead the way.” Cupid Pack is only the beginning as Dmillyyy has much in store for the year. While waiting for his next masterpiece, be sure to show love to the immaculate EP that is Cupid Pack.
