21 Savage turns the dream into reality with the release American Dream (via Slaughter Gang and Epic Records), his first solo studio album in nearly six years.
At midnight, Savage's third set features a dreamy lineup of collaborators including Brent Faiyaz, Summer Walker, Travis Scott, Young Thug, Lil Durk and Mariah the Scientist.
In a new campaign for the LP, the Atlanta, GA-based British-American rapper revealed his guest artists ahead of its release, sharing photos of their baby bump on Instagram.
Fifteen pieces in total, American Dream was announced earlier in the week and is said to serve as the soundtrack for 21 Savage's first film American Dream: The 21 Savage Storyfor which he revealed a trailer on Monday (January 8).
American Dream is the follow-up to 2018's second album I am > I was, which gave the hip-hop artist his first Billboard 200 No. 1 and was nominated for Best Rap album at the 2020 Grammy Awards. His hit single “A Lot,” featuring J. Cole, won the Grammy that year for Best Rap Song.
Then in 2020, Savage Mode II with Metro Boomin went to No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
Another collaborative project, her loss, recorded with Drake, bowed at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart in 2022, for his third leader. In December of that year, the state of Georgia recognized December 21st as Wild Day in recognition of his philanthropic efforts, including founding Preceded by Examplefounded in 2018 to provide financial literacy education to underserved youth nationwide, providing thousands of scholarships, access to bank accounts and job placement for youth and more.
Directed by Donald Glover, American Dream: The 21 Savage Story hits theaters on Independence Day 2024. Savage's live engagements this year include spots at the UK's Reading and Leeds festivals.
