SAVANT a.k.a. STANSTRO feat. DRAY BROWN: The Illest (2013) Free download

Savant is back on a heavy new Philly soul sampling number from Abstrakt Beats with fellow mic manipulator Dray Brown. It turns out The Illest is an eulogy to – well – the ‘illest.’ In the hip-hop sense, obviously. Savant and Brown’s lyrics contrast rappers who give it “wack” – dumbing their rhymes down to suck corporate cock, with the illest that rap – who, it seems, turn down the chance to fellate the industry because, on top of …READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

SAVANT feat. Janien Hammonds & Makeda: Skin (prod. Satchill Head) (2011) - free download
Emcee Savant’s latest pursues sultrier avenues than recent ‘jawns’ (he will insist on calling them that, he’s American you know) and he’s such a lady magnet he gets not one but two (spoken word artist Janien Hammonds and singer Makeda) on his record. Then he goes and gets producer Satchill Head to put together a beat which samples classic eighties soul legend Sade. The smooth operator. You’ll see what I did there if you’re over a certain age…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

SAVANT feat. Dibbz Dreek: Fresh She Is (Satchill Head’s Reprise) (2011) – free download
The indefatigable MC Savant a.k.a. Stanstro is on it again, this time with Dibbz Dreek of Fresh Life Curriculum and a paean to this chick they both fancy. And it has to be said, she sounds rather attractive having: a “body like a poem, written in calligraphy,” rather well-off but still a bit street, “the type to have a two car garage go to work/ And still keep a doobie in the…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

SAVANT (feat. Visions Of The Sun, Random, Mr Miranda & Medaforacle) (prod. by Marvel 76): State Bar AZ Cypher – 2011 – Free download
It’s yet another one from workaholic Tucson emcee Savant who this time invites a few of his mates around to drop a bomb-track posse cut over a beat from Marvel 76. It’s an uptempo affair, chock full of ill rhyme play with a rather interesting retro organ stabs throughout and fuzzy guitar chops on the outro. Don’t they have any TV in Arizona? The rate Savant’s putting stuff out…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

SAVANT: ‘Crash Course’ Leak Series – 2011 – Free download
In which Tucson-via-El Paso-via-Chicago (he gets around) emcee Savant does what he does best…or fresh flows over fresh beats to you. For those who needs a reference point Savant rocks it like early Mos Def, drops rhymes like “My heat brings more screams than rough sex scenes” and unlike more than a few rappers has a keen ear for a good beat – often dripping with soul…READ THE REST AT MONKEYBOXING.COM
