Sav Killz (Jamel Hampton) is a Brooklyn emcee, born in Flatbush, who came up in the do or die Bedstuy. He has emersed himself in the hip-hop culture since as long as he could remember. First as a graff writer he wrote Savage doing throw ups and fillins throughout Brooklyn. Later Sav was inspired to become an emcee on a serious level. He had been rhyming since childhood but when he saw how his words and unique stlye affected those around him he found his true calling. Sav engaged in numerous battles and street corner cyphers building his rep all over Brooklyn. He later honed his skills among the Wu-tang Clan , Sunz of Man and Brooklyn Zu cypher. Sav spent many a night rhyming in 36 Chambers studio and Restoration Plaza in Brooklyn which was run by Popa Wu (one of the Wu-tang elders who inspired the Clan). Beyond the WU Sav also performed at many open mic events including End of the Week at the Pyramid, The Nuyorican Poets Cafe, Club Speed,and Bowery Poetry Club just to name a few. During this period Sav became a staple in the underground scene , coming up with artists like Stronghold Crew, Immortal Technique, Shabaam Sahdeeq, C Rayz Walz, Loer Velocity and more. All those late nights paid off. Sav’s lyrical skills were honed like a sword
Sav is an active member of the Nation of Gods and Earths for several years. The Nation inspired Sav to stay positive, help his community and strive for the best things in life. You can see that in his music. While Sav Killz music is street and gritty, there is still a feeling of hope shown in his furvor. Sav Killz recently performed at the last Show N Prove at Allah’s School in Harlem .
Sav Killz stage presence is immense and rugged . You know he’s from Brooklyn! His voice captures the crowd’s attention. Sav did a brief tour of Europe with Shabazz the Disciple and DJ J-Ronin . He also recently toured with Tash from the Alkoholiks on the East Coast.
