Timeline

1965

Ronald Savage (born 1965) is an American entrepreneur, hip hop artist, author, and activist.

He was known as the "crate boy" for Jazzy Jay, who was the DJ for Afrika Bambaataa.

1980

Savage used to spend time with D.J Jazzy Jay while he recorded records in the early 1980s.

Savage states, "The best time I had in hip hop, when I was a kid was being paid after the parties, we were being paid (by Bambaataa) in White Castles Hamburgers".

1986

Savage got his start in the music industry in 1986 when Jazzy Jay built his recording studio in the Bronx on Blondell Ave. He paid his dues by running errands for Jazzy.

In 1986, Jazzy Jay teamed up with Rocky Bucano to start Strong City Records.

Soon, Jazzy moved the label to Allerton Ave in the Bronx, where Savage convinced the DJ's to play records of Strong City artists on rap radio and in rap clubs.

1988

Soon after in 1988 Strong City Records was acquired by MCA Records to become Strong City / MCA / Uni Records.

There, Savage worked on Strong City Record acts such as Busy Bee Starski, Def Duo, Ultimate Force, Ice Cream Tee, Nu Sounds, BZ2 M.C.'s, and other groups like Brand Nubian, Showbiz & A.G, Fat Joe, which all worked out of Jazzy Jay Studios.

A few years later, he left Strong City Records and began working for Dick Scott Entertainment, the management company for the New Kids on The Block, Marky Mark, Boyz II Men.

At Dick Scott Entertainment, Savage worked as an artist liaison for the rap group Snap!, whose single "I Got The Power" went No. 1 on the weekly charts in Spain, UK, Netherlands, Switzerland, as well as the Eurochart Hot 100.

1990

In 1990 the song hit No. 2 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Savage also handled for Dick Scott Entertainment other groups as Doug E. Fresh, Ikey Cee, and Show Biz & A.G.

In 1990, while working with the rap pop group Snap!, Savage carved the term six elements of the hip hop movement.

These six elements are: consciousness awareness, civil rights awareness, activism awareness, justice, political awareness, community awareness.

While working as an artist liaison at Dick Scott Entertainment, he had a mild stroke from the constant stress at his job which ended his career in the music industry.

2005

In 2005, Savage started a non-profit organization called United Coalition Association.

Its mission is to fight juvenile delinquency and counteract negative behavior in youth.

It also organizes college fairs to prepare students the entrance to college.

Savage also appeared in PSAs encouraging youth to stay away from gang activity, which aired on TV stations such as MTV and VH1.

2008

In 2008, Savage was elected to the New York State Democratic Committee with the help of former NYS Assemblyman Peter M. Rivera.

Savage was honored by the NAACP with an award in recognition of his devotion and commitment and uplifting youth in the community.

Ronald Savage is also the founder of the New York State College Fair Day.

He also created a DVD called The Plan which provides information about entrance to college.

2011

In 2011 Savage marched with Occupy Wall Street protesters in New York.

"We just drew up a resolution to raise taxes on the rich," he said.

"I hope it makes it to the floor. The mayor and the governor need to be more egalitarian toward the poor and the working class. This protest and protests from around the world show strength in numbers. It's global. The people are tired," he said.

In 2011, Bronx borough president Rubén Díaz Jr. did not reappoint Savage, then a New York State Democratic Committeeman for the 76th Assembly District, to local Bronx Community Board 9 in the Soundview area of the Bronx, due to the fact that Savage helped Charlie Ramos (a candidate for senate) in the 2011 September primary elections against Ruben Diaz Jr.'s father, New York state Sen. Rubén Díaz Sr.

2016

In 2016, he publicly accused Bambaataa of sexually molesting him.

Growing up in the Castle Hill Houses in The Bronx, Savage became a member of the Universal Zulu Nation at the age of 14.

In 2016, Savage accused Afrika Bambaataa of having molested him when Savage was 15 in 1980.

Former Hot 97 host Troi Torain aka STAR of the Star & Buc Wild Show in New York City first reported the accusation on the Shot 97 internet radio show, before it was published in the New York Daily News on April 9.

The Universal Zulu Nation responded with an open-letter apology to Savage, after three more men came forth with accounts alleging abuse by Bambaataa after Savage's story was published.

Later that year, Savage participated in legislative hearings in Albany organized by Assemblywoman Margaret Markey sponsoring the Child Victims Act, which was drafted to eliminate statute of limitations laws in New York State concerning child molestation allegations and allow a one-year window for alleged victims of past abuse to file a civil lawsuit.

Among the people who spoke at the hearings was Queens native Ana Wagner, who was inspired to drive to the hearings and relate her own account after seeing Savage's photo on the front page of the New York Daily News while buying a lottery ticket at a 7-Eleven in Long Island.

Savage was featured on the 2016 single "Don't Close Your Eyes" produced by Jonathan Hay, where he spoke over Bambaataa's song "Planet Rock" which was replayed in the track.

Savage speaks out about child molestation and issues a very bold challenge to the President of the United States, stating, "Children are being molested every day. I was molested by a world Hip-Hop icon," states Savage.

2018
