Savage

A true icon and national treasure of Aotearoa, Savage is a pioneering force in New Zealand hip-hop.

At the forefront of the mid-2000s NZ hip-hop explosion, he achieved Top 10 singles on both sides of the Tasman, with his hit track “Swing” gaining a second life after being featured in Knocked Up.

This success helped launch his career in the US hip-hop circuit, where Savage made history as the first New Zealand hip-hop artist to have a commercial single achieve platinum certification in the United States.

Known for his unique, booming tone, Savage’s influence continued with his follow-up track “Freaks” featuring Timmy Trumpet, which now boasts 576 million Spotify streams.

His latest track, “My G” with Joel Fletcher, keeps the energy going strong!
