Saba’s Care for Me memorializes his cousin John Walt, whose generous spirit also survives in the arts nonprofit that bears his name—which holds its flagship concert fund-raiser this weekend.
In his first local show of the year, Chicago rapper Saba balanced his desire to honor a murdered friend with the necessity to entertain a huge festival crowd.
Plus: John Walt’s arts mentorship foundation hosts a fund-raising dinner on the anniversary of the rapper’s death, and fashion crew Crystal Gravy throw a runway show at Punk Rock Prom.
