Noah Anthony Settles (born October 1, 1999, in Washington, D.C.), better known by his stage name, No Savage, is an American rapper from Southeast D.C.[2]
Early life and education
[edit]Noah Anthony Settles[3] was born on October 1, 1999, in Washington D.C.[4] He grew up on 37th st. SE in the Fort Dupont neighborhood of the city's notorious southeastern quadrant.[5] He attended Washington Metropolitan High School, dropping out in 2018 to pursue his career.
Career
[edit]Settles began releasing music in 2018, originally stylizing his name as "NO Savage".[6][7] From 2018 to early 2019, Settles released many experimental tracks in an attempt to find his sound. His first major success was with his 2019 single "Stop Dat" which came to define his unique flow and delivery.[8] On May 1, 2020, he released his first mixtape, Life of a Savage.[9][non-primary source needed] In 2021, he appeared on 3 different tracks on Shy Glizzy's mixtape Don't Feed The Sharks.[10][non-primary source needed] On December 3, 2021, Settles released his second mixtape, Life of a Savage 2, featuring guest appearances from NoCap and Shy Glizzy.[8] Settles is often considered a protégé of Shy Glizzy[by whom?] as they both grew up in the Stoddert Terrace projects in Southeast D.C. Glizzy has noted that Settles has had a meteoric rise, and stated that Settles "means everything to me."[11]
Impact and style
[edit]Settles has been noted by critics for his impact on the rap scene in Washington D.C. and beyond. Washington Post writer and critic Lawrence Burney described Settles as "a force to be reckoned with nationally", adding that "NO Savage will soon be a name that resonates beyond the DMV region."[6] Settles's music includes many common themes found in trap music[example needed] and often focuses on past gang-related events. Burney described Settles' style as "direct, sparse on metaphors and often so relentless that it doesn’t feel like he should be able to still catch a breath."[6]
Legal issues
[edit]In January 2021, Settles was arrested for illegal possession of a Glock handgun in the DuPont Circle neighborhood of Washington D.C.[12] In June of 2022, he gained widespread notoriety after firing a weapon at a rival gang member inside Tyson's Corner Center in Fairfax.[13] After an altercation with a member of the Simple City Crew, Settles, a member of the rival 37th Street Crew, fired multiple rounds at Simple City Crew members. Nobody was struck by the gunshots, but the sounds of handgun fire caused a panic among shoppers, with three people being seriously injured in the stampede of customers evacuating the mall. Settles fled the mall and spent several days on the run before turning himself in on June 23rd, 2022.[12] In February 2023, Settles entered an Alford Plea,[3] and was sentenced to 3 years in prison in June of that year.[14]
