HGS Savage Fam

**HGS Savage Fam** is a militant Indigenous rap collective known for their politically charged music addressing systemic oppression and Indigenous resistance. Formed in 2001 in Kansas before relocating to the West Coast, the group fluctuates in membership (reportedly 25–100 people) and draws comparisons to acts like Immortal Technique and Dead Prez for their unapologetic messaging. Their tracks, such as *Hatred*—which features graphic visuals of confronting colonizer symbolism—and projects like *The Vision* (2020) and *Mercury Poison* (2024), blend sharp lyricism with themes of cultural preservation and defiance. They’ve performed at events like Stommish Flow Fest (2024) and maintain a strong grassroots following within Indigenous communities, often using music as a vehicle for activism. Recent releases like *Heavy Metal* and *Future Past & Present* continue their tradition of blending confrontational storytelling with raw, rhythmic energy.
