Savage wants the world to get to know him better as he releases his highly anticipated album, That Uzere Boy.
The 28-year-old South African-based Nigerian artist has been working on this project since the release of his debut album and says this offering, featuring local hitmakers, DJ Maphorisa, Blxckie and J Molley, showcases his roots through Afro-piano-infused dance bangers.
“While the album cuts across a lot of areas, the most important message that resonates with me in this album is hard work, prayer and resilience. This was emphasised on the first track (Hozanna); there were a lot of emotions working on this track in particular,” he told TshisaLIVE.
“Africa has been blessed with its unique tone. Featuring South African artists has had a positive impact on my music so far. I have no regrets! It gave the music [for the album] just the extra spice I was looking for.”
The rapper, songwriter and singer started making music when he was 16 years old, and now that he's carved his path in the music space, he wants his legacy to be one that is remembered as having touched the lives of many different people and cultures.
“Starting music 12 years ago wasn’t very easy. I struggled with finding my tone and the style of music that resonates with me. I’m still learning to work the ropes, but now that I’ve found my feet, it can only get better from here.”
“I can’t exactly say if it was hard getting SA fans and artists to relate with my brand; I guess people just like what they like. I mean, it’s less stressful relating to something you like. However, this doesn’t guarantee a hurdle-free ride.”
Now that his album is out, Savage, who is also a designer, says he plans a fashion rollout soon to showcase another side of him.
