In a place where dreams often get buried beneath hardship, SG987 is digging his way out—with nothing but raw talent, relentless work ethic, and a story the world needs to hear.
Hailing from Huntington, West Virginia, SG987 doesn’t just rap—he bleeds on the track. With influences like 2Pac, Nas, Scarface, Gunna, and Young Thug, his sound is what he calls a “melting pot”—a mixture of street poetry, introspective storytelling, and hard-hitting truths pulled from the grit of real life. His latest album, Stress Virginia 2, dropped on June 25th, continuing the legacy of a series that’s not just music—it’s therapy. “I go through the motions like everyone else,” he says, “but I turn my pain into music.”
From falsely serving time in federal prison to dealing with betrayal by his own blood, SG987 has lived through storms most couldn’t imagine. And instead of folding, he put his experiences into verses—becoming a voice for those whose pain often goes unheard. His music is guided by one core message: redemption.
His process is methodical and personal. He walks into the studio, fires up Pro Tools, finds a beat that speaks to him, and writes—every bar from the soul. “Writing lyrics is like a personal Bible,” he explains. And you can feel that truth in every track.
But don’t get it twisted—SG987 is making noise. He linked up with platinum artist Gunna for a heavy-hitting single called “Pots & Pans,” backed by a gritty visual that matches the energy. From major platform placements to co-signs, SG is kicking in industry doors for himself and the next generation of artists in WV.
Now a father, he balances “Dad Mode” with grind mode, proving that purpose can fuel progress. His long-term mission? Open the floodgates for talent in his state, and be the reason Huntington is no longer overlooked.
