Baby Savage the biggest indie artist since Master p out of Louisiana should be a top pick for xxl Freshmans Class. He is a 100% true indie artist and represents millions of artist just like him, and seeks a break-through within the media gatekeepers for artist not signed with a major label nor have a cosign from a major artist. Many have deemed him the God of Grind -rap messiah thats leading all indie artist to the promised land. Performing hundreds of shows a year across 5 states – Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Missouri – he grinds nonstop.In addition to performing and recording his own music, Baby Savage does promotion, advertising, marketing and more for other independent artists. Likening independent artists to a union, he says “We have in strength in numbers.” Hence one of his claims-to-fame: kitschy ads featuring multiple artists. Rather than having artists individually pay for ad spaces, he rounds up artists and gets them to split the cost and the ad, saving money for everyone. Hes currently has over 300k in marketing,promotion and advertiseing. He performs over 200 shows each year, His booking price has increased and hes even purchased his own tour bus. These successes may seem banal, but for a self-funded independent artist working without management or a major label, they are huge triumphs. When you start from the actual bottom, there’s no such thing as baby steps.
