"Savvy The Savior"

Amid high pitched-registers, soulful, angelic cries and beat breaks, Savvy The Savior approaches the beat with his signature boom-bap style, letting it roam free over a range of lively instrumentations. Hopping straight out of a time machine, you’ll come to know that he was born in the ‘90s. His take on transitions and loops range from jazzy to funk-ish, then faces classic, gold-slated hip-hop head-on!
Considering these points, Savvy The Savior's strategy behind the sound leaves listeners anticipating more, “It’s very cinematic, and it will take you through a movie in your mind!” Savvy The Savior adds, “I produce and I rap on a lot of boom-bap beats but also I produce original uptempo, trap, trap/soul beats. I have to keep practicing rapping on fast-paced beats; then, I’ll be good.” His lyrical prowess serves truth, understanding, empathy, motivation, and what it’s like to be, well, Savvy The Savior.
Regardless of the environment, you can flip through his discography. Since 2017, he’s been consistently pushing out new records and projects, releasing his 26th project, DIAMOND FLWRS, this year! It’s the perseverance that keeps his music’s momentum high. So flap your ears open, and experience sounds that’ll awaken your soul.
His moniker, Savvy The Savior, wasn’t the first to be chosen. First, he went with Raiden DaGame (Raiding The Game) at 15, but shortly after, Savior deemed himself as Regal Aces. Then, by chance, he came across the word 'savvy,’ and it sparked something off. Eventually, Savior integrated 'Savvy’ into his moniker. Before, the official add-on, he opted for 'Savvy Beatz’ because he focused on producing. But after turning 19, he found his real name’s calling: Savvy The Savior. “I call myself this because I’m saving hip hop, myself, the people, and the world."
Savior’s way of creating music involves flowing from his spirit. Around the clock, he’s inspired, so it doesn’t take much time for him to lock-in. Life lessons give his artistry wings, along with other samples.
He continues: "I listen out for loops to catch, or if the song I’m sampling is perfect and has great transitions, I’ll chop it up and flip it. You’re putting markers in any spots on the song and slicing that section off. Then soon, you’ll have parts of the song you can play on your drum pads. Eventually, you’ll be able to get creative and flip the pieces of the songs around. I am momentarily rapping lyrics flow in my head. Beats give me goosebumps and just high amounts of energy! I have to push myself to write every single day, though, because I do get blocks sometimes, but I have a lot of songs and lyrics were written. If I don’t write, I have parts of songs written I put together, and it just all synchronizes. If I’m in a session, though, I can write a song on the spot because the creative energy gives me all the power I need!"
In summary, he goes through phases so he’ll produce beats, write songs, title songs, and hits (in specific ways). He’ll also write hooks, choruses, and chants on how he’s feeling. "Emceeing is an art, so I like to have bars, wordplay, phrases, lyricism, catchy hooks, big words, flow, a bit of storytelling, storytelling is something I want to get better at though, and I’m still learning how to freestyle.”
Moving forward, Savvy The Savior will be pushing out a debut and beat tape, along with more marketing, performances, and out-of-state trips. “Music is healing, and it saved my life. I don’t know where I would be if I couldn’t create music.”
One line he resonates with is: “My biggest enemy is my inner me” from Lupe Fiasco and Yummy Bingham’s “Much More.” - Natalee Gilbert
