Specific gravity of a homogeneous material is the ratio of the material's mass density to that of water. So, specific gravity is a useful "expression" of density since the comparison to water conveys a more practical "feel" for a material's density than does a value such as kilograms per cubic meter or slugs per cubic foot, etc.
