When you talk about artists who create their own wave , one name that’s impossible to ignore right now is GlokkSavage. From organically going viral on Facebook more than once, to trending on Billboard Hip Hop for over two weeks straight, to signing a major distribution deal with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation Distribution, GlokkSavage is proving that consistency, talent, and strategy pay off. With his music now scheduled to play on Comcast and Xfinity cable boxes across the U.S. for a full year, GlokkSavage is stepping into an entirely new lane of visibility.
Behind the powerhouse artist is an equally strategic force: his manager Lavelle Holley, who has been orchestrating the moves that brought not only GlokkSavage, but also industry ally Tony DeYoung, into this massive wave of momentum. With national television exposure, major shows in Atlanta, Georgia, and one of the most influential blogs in the world (BillboardHipHop.com, ranked #47 globally) co-signing his rise, GlokkSavage’s story is only just beginning.
SongsWire sat down with GlokkSavage for an exclusive conversation on his journey, his new deal, and where he’s headed next.
SongsWire: GlokkSavage, congratulations on all the momentum you’ve been building. You’ve gone viral on Facebook multiple times organically—what do you think it is about your music and brand that connects with people so strongly?
GlokkSavage: Honestly, I think it’s the rawness and the energy. I don’t try to force a viral moment—it just happens. People feel that I’m authentic, I’m telling my truth, and when you put that type of energy out into the world, it sticks. The fans share it because it resonates, and that organic love means everything to me.
SongsWire: You also trended on Billboard Hip Hop for over two weeks straight. That’s huge, especially since BillboardHipHop.com is one of the most influential blogs in the world. How did it feel seeing your name in that conversation?
GlokkSavage: Man, that was surreal. Billboard Hip Hop is respected globally, so for me to trend there was a stamp of validation. It showed me that my music isn’t just making noise locally—it’s cutting through worldwide. That motivated me to go even harder.
SongsWire: Let’s talk about this national television rollout. Your music is scheduled to play on Comcast and Xfinity for an entire year straight across over 1 million cable boxes. What kind of impact do you think that exposure will have?
GlokkSavage: That’s next-level. When you think about people across the country flipping channels and catching my music in real time, that’s reach you can’t buy. It’s going to open doors, grow my fanbase, and let me connect with people who might not even be on social media. It’s really about taking my brand from the internet to the living room.
SongsWire: You just signed a major distribution deal with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation Distribution. How does it feel to align yourself with such a legendary brand?
GlokkSavage: Roc Nation is iconic, so signing with Roc Nation Distribution is a blessing and a major step for me. It means my music has the right machine behind it now, and I can focus on creating while knowing my work is reaching the right platforms. This is just the beginning.
SongsWire: You’ve been performing at big events, especially around your home turf of Atlanta, Georgia. How does it feel to represent your city while the spotlight keeps getting bigger?
GlokkSavage: Atlanta raised me. It’s the heartbeat of hip hop, and I feel like I’m carrying that energy every time I step on stage. Performing here is special because the crowd knows real talent, and if you can move an ATL crowd, you can move the world.
SongsWire: Your manager, Lavelle Holley, has been getting a lot of credit as the mastermind behind this run. Can you talk about his role in building this wave of success?
GlokkSavage: Lavelle is the backbone of this whole thing. He sees the vision from angles that most people don’t. He’s the one strategizing, putting me in the right rooms, and making sure every move we make counts. Bringing Tony DeYoung into the fold was genius too—it just made our wave even stronger. I’m blessed to have him in my corner.
SongsWire: Finally, with all of this momentum—viral success, Billboard recognition, Roc Nation Distribution, national TV exposure—what’s next for GlokkSavage?
GlokkSavage: More music, bigger shows, and global impact. I want to inspire the next generation to believe that you can come from anywhere, build organically, and still touch the world. I’m not slowing down. This wave is just getting started.
