The Sav and The Art of Savagery

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Los Angeles, California, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) January 18, 2012 -- The underground hip hop community recently gained another ally, as The Sav is poised to come surging out of his Seattle, Washington home turf and roll across the United States with the force of a Mack truck. Spitting clever metaphors and utilizing thought provoking wordplay, this up and comer is fighting out of the corner of the West, yet discovers his influences from around the country. After founding his own record label and preparing to launch his first full length record, The Bar Exam Art of Savagery, The Sav’s time is now.

Positioned as one of the Pacific Northwest’s next great artists, The Sav makes use of traditional West coast gangster rap tendencies while blending in the unmistakable, thumping beats of the South. Unlike the fluffy, soft lyrics inked by some of his contemporaries, his experiences are spawned from a 25-month sentence at a Washington state corrections center following a violent altercation where he was forced to defend himself.

With a fresh sense of freedom and a renewed passion for music, he continued to stockpile verses and instrumentals, working towards the release of his debut LP, which is set to drop on February 26, 2012. The buzz is already starting, as New York’s Hip Hop Weekly selected The Sav as a featured artist for their regular Indie Hip Hop section.

A recent issue of the popular rap magazine stated, “[If you’re] looking for someone with street cred and work ethic, you found your man.”

Along with the massive task of releasing his own record, The Sav is taking on other projects with his new label, teaming up with fellow local indie artists MG (a.k.a. Magic) and E-Rich, who appeared on the track “My Street.” Three more releases are currently underway including MG’s full-length School’s Out, E-Rich’s solo album, and a group record entitled Seattle’s Best The Album: We Ain’t Talkin’ Coffee.

Led by the single and music video for “In My Shoes,” The Bar Exam Art of Savagery is steadily picking up steam on its way to becoming an indie hip hop success. An album release party is planned for the drop date of February 26, which is sure to be one of the hottest events of the chilly winter throughout the Seattle area.

Streaming audio is available on The Sav’s official ReverbNation, MySpace and Facebook pages, along with pictures and upcoming performance dates. The explosive music video for “In My Shoes” is currently streaming on YouTube for fans who are seeking a true taste of what this Northwest phenom is capable of.
