The album cover for “American Dream,” which references 21 Savage’s journey as an American immigrant, has also been revealed. Since his last solo album, 21 Savage has been active in the music scene with notable collaborations, including “Savage Mode 2” with Metro Boomin and “Her Loss” with Drake. The latter project brought him several Grammy nominations this year, including Best Rap Song for “Rich Flex” and Best Melodic Rap Performance for “Spin Bout U.”
The upcoming album is expected to delve into themes reflecting the rapper’s personal experiences, including his 2019 ordeal with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The biographical movie associated with the album is anticipated to be a memoir of his incarceration, showcasing his life across two generations with appearances by various notable actors.
Following his legal battle for U.S. residency, the U.K.-born artist embarked on his first international tour, which included a debut performance in London at the O2 Arena in November. With “American Dream,” fans are eager to witness the evolution of 21 Savage’s artistry and the personal narratives he brings to his music.
