“7 Squids” is a collaboration between SahBabii and Grammy Award-winning R&B legend R. Kelly.

The track finds the two Chicago-born artists effortlessly toeing the line between rap and R&B over production from Dollie, who produced the tracks “Outstanding” and “Sunny Days” from SahBabii’s 2018 project Squidtastic.

The song marks SahBabii and R. Kelly’s first and only collaboration prior to Kelly’s arrest in July 2019 on sex trafficking charges.

Prior to its release, SahBabii discussed the track in a May 2018 interview, sharing that he was a big fan of Kelly’s music.

The track is SahBabii’s third single of 2018, following “Watery”, which was released on January 7, and his collaboration with fellow Atlanta rapper 21 Savage, “Outstanding”, which was released on April 20.

The song was slated to appear on SahBabii’s album Squidtastic, however, it was ultimately not included on the project, which was released eight days after the track.
