Planet Giza - WYD ft. Saba

Weekly Music

"WYD" is a soulful and energetic track from the Canadian trio Planet Giza and Chicago rapper Saba. The song, which stands for "What You Doing," was released this past week and has quickly gained attention for its infectious beat and smooth vocals. The song starts with a mellow, jazzy beat and smooth vocals from Rami B and Tony Stone, who make up two-thirds of Planet Giza. The lyrics revolve around a simple question, "What you doing?" and a desire to connect with someone special. The beat picks up, and Saba enters with his distinctive flow, adding another layer of intensity to the song. Saba's verse adds a different perspective and layer to the song, as he talks about the ups and downs of his career and the importance of staying true to oneself. His verse ends with a clever wordplay, "I'm what's up next, they don't know WYD," which ties back to the song's central theme. The chorus repeats throughout the song, encouraging listeners to dance and sing along. The combination of Planet Giza's smooth vocals and Saba's sharp lyrics creates a perfect blend of soulful R&B and upbeat hip-hop. One of the most impressive aspects of "WYD" is how it seamlessly blends different genres and styles. The jazzy beat and R&B-inspired vocals from Planet Giza complement Saba's sharp rapping, creating a unique and captivating sound that is hard to forget. I love everything about this track and Planet Giza’s aesthetic. Their look and style is something very well throughout and very well executed. The vision seems very clear and their image across their photos and cover arts speak for them self. They dropped a visualizer for the track “WYD” which continues that black and white clean aesthetic they been going with. Its simple nature really helps put everything we have spoken about into one large and complete package. The guys have so much potential in really being a staple in the industry, their music taste and style is something that is hard to come across and the way they execute their ideas is clearly unlike no other. I’m excited to see what they have planned for 2023, hope its a project of some kind. But regardless, I’m here for the journey.
