Sab the Artist's Music Journey
Musab Saad first became known as "Beyond," and later as "Musab." He was part of a music group called Headshots. Later, he helped start an independent hip hop record label. This label is called Rhymesayers Entertainment. He founded it with Slug (Sean Daley), Ant (Anthony Davis), and Siddiq (Brent Sayers).
In 1996, Beyond released his first music project on Rhymesayers. It was called Comparison. A few years later, in 1999, he released Be-Sides. That same year, the group Dynospectrum also released their first album. In 2002, Musab released his first studio album, Respect the Life, through Rhymesayers.
In 2007, Sab the Artist released an album called Slicks Box. This was special because it was his first official project not released by Rhymesayers. Instead, it came out on a label called Hieroglyphics Imperium Recordings.
Sab the Artist was known for hip hop music for a long time. However, his newer projects mix different styles. For example, his 2010 EP Sab the Artist and his album H.G.H. (Heaven, Girls, Hell) combine hip hop, pop, R&B, and electronic sounds. He worked with a group called Ultra Chorus on the H.G.H. album.
