Another Star Rises from Crenshaw and Slauson

Coming straight out of the Crenshaw and Slauson District, Savvy Sav—also known as “Young Savvy”—is making waves in the music scene. From selling CDs out of his trunk to grinding in the streets and building his own lane, Savvy embodies the spirit of independent hustle.

Born in Houston, Texas, Savvy relocated to Los Angeles as a teenager, eventually planting roots in the Crenshaw District. His music, heavily inspired by both his environment and life experiences, draws natural comparisons to the late Nipsey Hussle—not just due to geography, but because of their shared journey: growing up in the streets and using music as a vehicle for empowerment.

Blending the laid-back yet gritty essence of West Coast rap with Dirty South influences, Savvy Sav has developed a signature sound that reflects his upbringing and travels. With five full-length albums already released, he’s currently putting the finishing touches on his sixth studio project, Streets of LA.

His latest single, “Hips Rocc” featuring SKG (Helecia Choyce)—a fellow Crenshaw native and one of the few prominent female rappers from the area—is already creating a buzz. The track highlights Savvy’s evolving style, authenticity, and deep connection to the streets.

Savvy Sav is undoubtedly an artist to watch. His music isn’t just a sound—it’s a movement.
