Originating from Riverside, California but residing in Nashville, Tennessee, rising artist $avvy has been on an artistic tear since we first found out about him in 2019. With the release of two outstanding projects, supported by cathartic and vibe-ridden singles, $avvy has been on our radar consistently with every drop. In this article, we will walk you through the incredible discography this artist has given his fans time and time again.

From 990 to his new single, “Keys”, the Nashville native hasn’t missed, and we have strong reason to believe he never will.

990

Referencing the pair of famous New Balance sneakers, "990” is $avvy’s incredibly catchy and smoothly confident introduction to who he is and exactly what timing he’s on. $avvy lets the naysayers know that it doesn’t matter if you may not like him or his style, someone around you definitely does. Over a heavy 808 pattern and dreamy synth melody, the production only serves to boost the subject matter on this track, performing as a perfect first track for new listeners.

SNL

“SNL” is a beautiful detour from 990, as $avvy meets up with a girl he’s been wanting to see all week. Saturday seems to be the best night to catch a dance with her (and maybe a bit more) and he’s not wasting any time. SNL’s dreamy hi-hats and deep-hitting synth make you just want to close your eyes and nod your head as $avvy brings you along this late-night journey.

Bag/Purse

Bag/Purse is actually one of (if not the) first song we heard from$avvy, and as soon as that first drop hit our ears we knew this “990” callback would hit even harder. We weren’t wrong in the slightest. Featuring fellow Nashville artist, Mike Floss with a silky-smooth feature, “Bag/Purse” has $avvy back in his, for lack of a better word, bag. $avvy’s strengths come from his witty lyricism, and incredible flow, and he’s able to shine heavy lights on all of them throughout the duration of the track. From the way the 808s pleasantly smack you in the face, to the creative acoustic melody above, the stage was set, and as per usual, $avvy put on a show.

Zoom

Zoom solidifies $avvy’s sound for what it is, a groovy, introspective, bodacious, and ever-evolving vibe that you’ll find yourself listening to over and over again. Even the chorus, as simple as it may sound, will find you at 5 PM getting off work and muttering “Zoom in, Zoom out” as you skip to your car. Zoom is a fun cementing of the sound that $avvy’s been curating over the past three tracks and acts as a perfect last single before the project that put the groovy young artist from Nashville on everyone’s radar.

Boys Wear Pearls

From track 1 to 8, Boys Wear Pearls follows $avvy as he sways between two sides of himself, the braggadocious half who simply just doesn’t want to care. He wants to fight all of these realities and stick a middle finger up to the world. Why? Why not? He’s famous, rich, got the looks, and when he raps, people listen. So why should he listen to anything the world says? Evidence of this side of him can be seen on tracks like “Cannot Do”, a track that boasts main character energy without a lyric about it, and “Shameless” with Chuck Indigo, where he sits you down and lets you know, no holds barred, tha he isn’t one to be played with, lyrically or in any other regard.

However, just a few minutes prior, you get “Spain”, where $avvy laments about the loss of someone he thought could’ve been the one until she messed up. Instead of the poise and polished confidence that he could easily bring forth, $avvy checks into the heartbreak hotel just for a chance to see the one who broke his heart. “Shameless” clears that all up, with $avvy even laughing to his friends about forgetting her name. Again, he’s $avvy, so why should he care? We follow this energy into the next track “Fallout Boy”, which throws $avvy into the mix with a new girl, one who gives him joy and pushes all the right buttons in his head. Maybe the other half can finally peek out again. Maybe it’s safe for him to not say f*** the world? Either way, he was late and Mike was calling him. He needed to get going.

Enter “Take Your Time”, featuring the ever-amazing A.G. Sully, a fan-favorite of ours, and an overall fantastic artist. Her soft and elevating vibrato as she and $avvy slow us down and tell us to, as the title says, take our time. This track acts as not only an answer for $avvy’s hurried exit from “Fallout Boy”, but also a message to the new girl in his life. He asks that they don’t rush anything, pining to her from the venue he and Sully are performing at, duetting for the audience she’s most likely tucked away within. $avvy comforts her while Sully reminds everyone listening that it’s okay to take it slow. Then there’s “From Me” which finds Savvy trying to duck an increasingly overbearing love interest, telling her time and time again that what she wants from him and what she’ll get are two completely different things. Once again, Savvy’s other half reminds him he’s in control. She’s playing games and the walls are slowly coming back up. A beautiful feature by Brian Brown with that lovely chorus wraps the message of this track up in a neat bow.

Fun and groovy enders in “Down to Earth and “Zack and Cody” bring the album to a whimsical and carefree close and it seems, as quickly as he was thinking about all of these situations, they were gone in a flash. With the entrance of new potential lovers, Savvy will always put his heart on his wrist, and of course, pearls on the other.

Calling it Quits

Calling it Quit seems to be a direct follow-up to the events of Boy’s Wear Pearls. The Nashville don juan finds himself once again at odds with a lover. The relationship seems to be coming to an end, and this time, $avvy’s serious. The two are at odds because he knows his love is toxic, yet pleads that she also take accountability for her actions as well. In all, it seems $avvy not only knows that this relationship is coming to an end, but possibly an entire era as well.

Enter, POOR.

POOR

POOR is a super experimental album that showcases $avvy's willingness to push boundaries and explore new sounds. Each track on the album takes the listener on a journey, presenting twists and turns that broaden our perspective on who $avvy is as an artist.

The track showcases their chemistry and playful lyrics, while also touching on the desire for a deeper connection and understanding.

"SHIA LABUSSDOWN" is a fun and boastful track where $avvy flaunts his jewelry and promises to "ice out" the girl he's interested in. The song highlights $avvy's confident persona and his ability to create catchy hooks that stay with the listener. The album features an interlude, "POOR INTERLUDE," where $avvy and Dadabase humorously search for his missing POOR shirt. It adds a playful and lighthearted moment to the album's narrative.

He realizes that her interest is primarily driven by his fame and wealth, prompting him to change his appearance and distance himself from her. The track delves into themes of superficiality and personal growth. "WATCH MY STEP" finds $avvy still cautious of relationships, reminding himself in the grooviest way possible to take his time and see things for what they truly are.

In it, $avvy reminds listeners that regardless of the lane he takes, he will always be true to himself and strive to be the best.

THE BUNNY?

Do you know who The Bunny is?

Could you identify him in a room full of people?

On TV?

Social media?

Maybe he was in your favorite cartoon as a kid, or in a frisky magazine you hid under your bed. You could’ve seen him while trying to book a flight, or on your favorite box of cereal. He could’ve been doing tasks for you and you wouldn’t have blinked an eye.

He could be putting energizing your house right under your nose. He could be on the bottle of your choice of chocolate milk.

Heck, he could even be on your favored box of Annie’s Homegrown.

See, The Bunny isn’t just a man.

Hell, he might not even be a person in general.

Maybe he’s an idea, a reminder that wherever you go, someone’s hopping along right behind you, watching your every move.

Or maybe he’s the opposite, a beacon of hope, knowing that you can always find him if you look hard enough.

Maybe he’ll always be there to give you a boost.

Maybe he’ll always be there to haunt you too.

Either way, he’ll always be there.

Do you know The Bunny?
