21 Savage, Born Shéyaa Bin Abraham-Joseph, rose to musical fame from the streets of Atlanta, where he intricately navigated a challenging upbringing marked by experiences with violence and poverty. His raw authenticity and unique storytelling propelled him into the spotlight, with hits like "Bank Account" and "A Lot," to solidify early fame. However, he would soon shock the world by establishing himself as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary hip-hop and creating a foundation in the rap scene that no one would forget.

With his newest studio album release of the "American Dream”, 21 Savage’s new album serves not only as a melodic memoir, but as a true testament to the hardships and struggles he has overcome in the face of adversity. With every single lyric, instrumental, and core message, 21 Savage paints a portrait through his everlasting journey of resilience, ambition, and an unyielding pursuit to create a better tomorrow. Fans alike are invited to join along as he uncovers his journey, where the street life he has experienced is both the backdrop and the main stage for his ascent to greatness. Overtaking the #1 debut spot from notable names such as Taylor Swift and Morgan Wallen, 21 Savage proved his musical reign is nowhere near completion as he took his first #1 position on a solo-artist project on the Billboard Top 200 since his release of “i am> i was” over 5 years ago.
