About 21 Savage:

GRAMMY-winning, multi-platinum global superstar 21 Savage, one of the most sought-after rappers of this generation, landed his second solo #1 album on the Billboard 200 with the release of his third solo LP, american dream, Savage’s first studio album as a solo act since 2018’s i am > i was. Following a blistering 2023, during which Savage toured North America with Drake on the $100M+ grossing ‘It’s All A Blur Tour,’ made a triumphant return on an eight-stop tour to his native London and received six GRAMMY-nominations, american dream’s early 2024 success solidifies 21 Savage’s position as one of Hip Hop’s preeminent hitmakers, and establishes him as one of music’s biggest and most consistent stars. In addition to his two solo #1 LPs, Savage has debuted atop the Billboard 200 twice more with joint albums: 2020’s Savage Mode 2 with Metro Boomin and 2022’s Her Loss with Drake. Savage’s six nominations at the 2024 GRAMMYs brings his career nomination total to 11, including a victory in 2020 for “Best Rap Song,” for his J. Cole-featured “a lot.” The Hip Hop star’s influence reaches far past music. 21 Savage has been recognized for his philanthropic efforts by the city of Atlanta, which has designated December 10 as “21 Savage Appreciation Day” in Fulton County, and bestowed the “Carry The Torch” Award upon the superstar, an acknowledgment of his efforts to increase financial literacy and access to personal development resources for local youth.
