More and more, the Philly hip-hop community is making people take notice with their next generation of youthful up-and-coming emcees. With a style that he’s dubbed “The Flow of a New Generation,” Young Savage, a.k.a. Daeshawn Johnson, is proving that he can lay down positive bars, leading the way for a whole new crop of hip-hop artist to follow. The Southwest Philly rapper has his eye on the prize, and thanks to the guidance of his manager and hip-hop veteran Jimmy DaSaint, he understands that a good work ethic is how he’ll be able to reach that brass (or should I say platinum) ring. Savage will be showing off his lyrical skills tonight when he opens for Juelz Santana at The Blockley along with Ground Up, who are certainly making some serious waves of their own. So head out to University City this evening and surf the flow of some standout talent in the local hip-hop scene. The Blockley, 3801 Chestnut St., 9pm, $20 – $40, 18+ – H.M. Kauffman
