Amine And Saba Puff Out Their Chests On Their Confident Collab, ‘Talk’
The song lands on Amine’s new ‘Limbo’ deluxe which adds seven new songs and appearances from Toosii, Valee, and Unknown Mortal Orchestra. …
After an entire year away from the hip-hop game, Amine made his return this year with his Limbo album. The 14-track effort was an incredibly strong release from the Portland native, which served as a successor to his 2018 effort, OnePointFive. UPROXX named Limbo as the 27th-best album of the year and the ninth-best hip-hop album of the year. Looking to give the album one last push before the year ends, Amine returned with a deluxe re-issue of Limbo and one of its early highlights comes on a track with Saba.
Connecting for the first time in their careers, Amine and Saba flex some muscle on “Talk.” The track finds them both emphasizing their needs to back up their proclamation: talk the talk and walk the walk. For Amine this is a requirement because the last thing he wants is for the competition and other spectators to think he’s “out here for f*cking jokes.” After the “Compensating” rapper leads the way with bars of his own, Saba follows suit with a second dose of confidence and a reminder that he’s achieved so much while others struggle to do half as much as he has.
The Limbo deluxe comes with seven additional songs and guest appearances from Toosii, Valee, and Unknown Mortal Orchestra.
You can listen to “Talk” in the video above.
Limbo (Deluxe) is out now via Republic. Get it here.

Leyla Romanova finds strength in silence on new release “Self-Control”
Leyla Romanova‘s new single, “Self-Control,” is a powerful emotional release that feels more like a manifesto for surviving modern chaos than a song. In a world of opinions, urgency, and emotional exhaustion, Romanova offers a track based on one radical idea: not reacting.
“Self-Control” immediately creates tension and clarity. The drums keep everything together with discipline and purpose. As the textured instrumentals expand like waves of thought through a crowded mind, the bass anchors the listener emotionally.
The contrast between outside noise and inside stillness makes the song compelling. Romanova’s work captures the feeling of being overwhelmed by pressure, opinions, and distractions while silently retaining personal peace. There are no major uprisings. But restraint is power. The song knows energy conservation is a survival strategy.

J’mall expresses the pain of chasing someone else’s success over your own on “Unattainable”
J’mall’s latest single, “Unattainable,” expresses the pain of chasing someone else’s success over your own. The song explores the emotional void caused by constant comparison rather than motivation.
“Unattainable” is about realizing that no matter how hard one works to meet others’ expectations, the reward will never be satisfying. J’mall explores the stress of “keeping up with the Joneses” and the exhaustion of comparing yourself to standards that weren’t meant for you.
The song’s honesty resonates, the message doesn’t feel preachy or polished. It feels personal, like J’mall is sharing life lessons. The record’s quiet strength is its embrace of individuality and personal responsibility without pretending it’s easy.
