21 Savage

Shéyaa Bin Abraham-Joseph, known professionally as 21 Savage, is a rapper and record producer born in London and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. One of rap's most commercially and critically successful artists, 21 Savage is celebrated for his cold, unflinching delivery, dark trap production, and authentic street narratives that have made him one of the genre's most respected figures. After breaking through with "Savage Mode" (2016, with Metro Boomin), a critically acclaimed EP that remains a touchstone of modern trap, he ascended to mainstream prominence with collaborative albums alongside Post Malone and Metro Boomin. His debut studio album "Issa Album" (2017) and its successor "I Am > I Was" (2018) — which debuted at #1 — are considered landmark works. "Savage Mode II" (2020) shattered Apple Music streaming records and received the Grammy for Best Rap Album. His 2024 album "American Dream" debuted at #1 and further explored his complex identity as a UK-born artist who grew up in Atlanta.
