SD Says "Life of a Savage" Is Based on Chicago Life
SD of GBE spoke about the third installment of his Life of a Savage mixtape series in this clip from his exclusive interview with VladTV. He explained that the mixtape is based off of the rough lifestyle that he is accustomed to in Chicago. When asked about his views on what a savage really is, SD stated that a savage in his eyes is an animal, or a man who doesn't care about anything and is willing to do anything.
He went on to detail some of the songs he has on the mixtape with Young Chop, and how he's never really put any thought into signing to a particular label outside of GBE.
