Saudi born producer SAÜD announces his highly anticipated new project, “High Octane,” arriving 26th March, a 14 track love letter to hip hop that blends sharp lyricism, soulful melodies and cinematic production. The album’s lead single, “Be The Way” featuring Bas and The C!rcle, showcases SAÜD’s signature laid back yet confident style, a fluid, classic hip hop track that bridges global voices while staying rooted in timeless rap sensibilities.

“Be The Way” marks the second offering from the forthcoming “High Octane” album. Produced by SAÜD and executive produced by Don Cannon (Lil Uzi Vert, Jeezy, Lil Wayne, Jack Harlow), the release showcases his talent for crafting hip hop that is both smooth and grounded, carried by effortless energy. Speaking on the release, SAÜD shares: “Be The Way is one of those records that came together with pure intention. Bas, G Salih, and Eaz Da Bully brought their own energy and pushed the song into a space that feels honest and alive. That line about being the light in the darkness sums it up for me, it is a reminder that sometimes the spark we are looking for is already within us.”

Last year, SAÜD released “Good Fellas” featuring Belly, the first glimpse into “High Octane.” The track is layered with powerful beats with razor sharp lyricism and showcases his distinctive ability to unite global voices in hip hop. “Good Fellas” sets the tone for the project’s expansive sonic palette and collaborative spirit, bringing together standout contributors from the US, UK and WANA region. You can watch the powerful visual here, which was released at the end of last year.

Building on this energy, “High Octane” features an impressive lineup of artists, from US rap legend Busta Rhymes to Mercury nominated UK star Kojey Radical, as well as Belly, Grammy Award Winner Swizz Beatz, Bas, Westside Boogie, Rapsody, Mercston, Jeed, $kinny, Tac and more.

Raised in a musically diverse home and spending significant time in Los Angeles, SAÜD has built a sound that connects cultures while staying true to its roots. “High Octane” embodies resilience, ambition and connection, a journey from Khobar, Saudi Arabia, to studios around the world. With more music on the horizon, fans can expect a project full of bold energy and boundary pushing tracks. Watch this space!
