Saaheem Malik Valdery, known as SahBabii, was born on February 24, 1997, in Chicago, Illinois. He spent his early years in the Wentworth Gardens projects on Chicago’s South Side. At the age of 13, in early 2010, his family relocated to Atlanta, Georgia, to support his older brother’s musical career. It was in Atlanta that Saaheem began recording music under the moniker ‘SahBabii,’ given to him by his aunt, TeeBaby. His initial releases, the mixtapes *Pimpin Ain’t Eazy* (2012) and *Glocks & Thots* (2013), were produced with the help of his older brother, T3, who contributed to their creation in a home studio environment. During this period, SahBabii also engaged with online communities by posting Grand Theft Auto Online gameplay videos on his YouTube channels, ‘Noᴙmal’ and ‘Normalty’.
After a three-year break from music, during which he held a job at Dick’s Sporting Goods, SahBabii released the mixtape *S.A.N.D.A.S.* in 2016. This project was recorded using a broken microphone and Cubase software in T3’s bedroom. The mixtape gained significant attention through its single, “Pull Up wit ah Stick,” featuring Loso Loaded. This track achieved viral status on Instagram after SahBabii shared a 15-second clip before its official release, leading to millions of plays on SoundCloud. The music video for “Pull Up wit ah Stick,” released in February 2017, accumulated over 70 million views on the WorldStarHipHop YouTube channel. This success led to SahBabii signing a $2 million record deal with Warner Bros. Records in March 2017. His family established Casting Bait Music Group, with his father, Delval, acting as his manager. The song was later remixed by artists including Young Thug, T-Pain, Fetty Wap, Wiz Khalifa, and Lil Wayne, and Drake also expressed interest in contributing to an official remix.
Following the remastering and re-release of *S.A.N.D.A.S.* with new tracks under Warner Bros., SahBabii’s professional relationship with the label concluded. His career continued with independent releases such as *Squidtastic* (2018) and the *3P* EP (2019). Despite an announcement of retirement in early 2019, SahBabii continued to release music, citing his dedication to his fanbase. Subsequent albums include *Barnacles* (2020), which was noted for its distinctive, dreamlike sound and emotionally unguarded territory, and *Do It For Demon* (2021), a debut studio album dedicated to his late cousin, DemonChild. In 2022, he released *LeakOut*, a project composed of previously leaked songs. His 2024 album, *Saaheem*, climbed to No. 123 on the US Billboard 200, followed by the announcement of his 2025 Resurrection Tour.
