Simply put: he’s back.
21 Savage formally announces his return today with the release of the trailer for his brand new movie. American Dream: The 21 Savage Story. The trailer, which previews brand new 21 Savage music, features Savage and his co-stars: five-time GRAMMY winner Donald Glover, Netflix’s Stranger Things star Caleb McLaughlin, Golden Globe-nominated actress Natasha Lyonne, Bel-Air star and recording artist Jabari Banks, The Haunting of Hill House’s Victoria Pedretti, Beef’s Young Mazino, Fast & Furious veteran Chad Lindberg, Gail Bean of Snowfall fame, and Druski, the star Atlanta comedian and entertainer, also feature in the star-studded preview.
The trailer directed by Donald Glover, Stephen Glover, Jamal Olori and Fam Udeorji, depicts three generations of 21 Savage (Glover, McLaughlin) in the heat of a personal crisis. The film is produced by Tara Razavi and Udeorji.
Though it’s been more than five years since Savage’s last solo LP, the Atlanta superstar has enjoyed a prolific stretch of his career, including multiple Billboard 200 chart-topping albums and GRAMMY wins. Joint albums with Metro Boomin (Savage Mode 2) and Drake (Her Loss) each debuted at #1, putting 21 Savage in rarefied air.
Following his win at the 2020 GRAMMY Awards for “a lot,” Savage was again recognized by The Recording Academy for his work on J. Cole’s “My Life,” which was nominated for ‘Best Rap Song’ and ‘Best Rap Performance.’. At the 2024 ceremony, Savage is up for a career best five GRAMMYs, including Best Rap Album (Her Loss) and Best Rap Song (“Rich Flex”). The tally brings Savage’s career nomination total to 11.
The 21 Savage show was a hot ticket in 2023, even as the rapper continued to work on his new music. Savage was Drake’s co-headliner for the ‘It’s All A Blur Tour,’ as the superstar tandem celebrated their chart-topping collaborative album, and to end the year, Savage made a triumphant return to Europe with an eight-city trek across the nation, including stops in Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin and Savage’s native U.K.
Savage’s dedication to his craft and community have earned him numerous philanthropic acknowledgments, the most recent of them being a proclamation from the city of Atlanta declaring December 21st as “21 Savage Appreciation Day” in the Fulton County of Georgia. Savage was also named the recipient of the city’s “Carry The Torch” Award, which recognizes the superstar’s “significant contributions to music, social activism, philanthropy, youth empowerment and cultural influence.”
Savage Season is upon us.
