My battle of cancer was tough. One day, I was feeling sick, tired, fatigue. I mentioned to my girlfriend at the time, if it didn’t get better in two days I would go to the hospital. On the third day, I felt worse, so we went to the ER. I was told it was nothing serious. When I disagreed, so we had an x-ray done. When we got the results, we saw that there was a mass in my chest and they said it appeared to be cancer. That moment changed my life for the next five years. My family and I got through it together, I couldn’t be around friends for two to three years. Due to chemotherapy treatment, I didn’t have hair and I began to lose muscle and weight. I felt weak but I kept a strong heart the entire time.

During this time, I wrote music to ease the pain and make time go by. I began by listening to beats and putting music together. When I got out of the hospital, I began going to the studio to write music. My life seemed to be getting better.

Today, I am working on things that I love. The day I found out I was diagnosed with stage four cancer; I was just about to graduate from Georgia State University. It was a long bumpy road but I finished. 

I am currently working on a gospel album but I don’t have a title for it yet. I just made the transition from Hip- hop to Hip-hop gospel. Why? Because I found my purpose in life was to put out positive energy to the people. I feel like people need to give their life to Christ. I plan on doing that by putting out hip hop gospel music, so people can get a Godly feeling and a hip hop feeling at the same time. There aren’t many artists that are in that this genre so I plan on making my mark quick in that industry as my name “Lil Savvy” will remain the same!

Lastly. “My dream collaboration would be a song with me and Lil Durk, also r.i.p to Pop Smoke because I loved him as a artist but I also would like a song colab with six 9.”
