Meet Tom Savage, Heir to Rap Royalty
Tom Savage is a vastly talented, gritty young artist whose debut release comes out Oct. 2 on Recondition Records.
Tom is not only talented in his own right, he’s also the son of one of the legends of hip hop in the 90s and a current rap giant, Casanova Rud. Casanova Rud and Super Lover Cee had a multitude of hits in the 90s like “Do the James” and “Girls I Got Em Locked“. These days, Rud is turning out politically charged rap anthems and righteous tracks.
So it’s no surprise that Erik Rudnicki, Jr., or Tom Savage, has rap talent in his genes and DNA. Tom’s grimy vocals and intellectual lyrics combine to create a truly mesmerizing blend of pathos, street pain and hope.
One of my favorite tracks, “I Need” is a monologue of the past, present and 
future. Another favorite is “Psycho” (featuring Casanova Rud). This track shows off perfectly Tom’s vocal skills, dramatic ability and poetic writing.
Look for his debut release “Camera” on Oct. 2, 2015.

He then started working on his mixtape and recording songs with his father Casanova Rud. While promoting over social networks and internet radio, he was brought to the attention of CEO/Producer Erick Shervington (aka Mr. Major) by Casanova Rud through a mutual friend.
