With production credits from Metro Boomin, London on Da Track, OG Parker, and more, the 15 song tracklist features guest contributions from Travis Scott, Summer Walker, Young Thug, Doja Cat, Burna Boy, Mariah The Scientist, Lil Durk and Brent Faiyaz.
As per the officially press release, “american dream succinctly covers the many facets of 21 Savage that fans have been introduced to over the years. The intro, a spoken piece by 21 Savage’s mother, Heather Joseph, provides a chilling account of the sacrifice she made to give her son the opportunity to live ‘his American Dream.’”
“As a mother, every path I walked was for my son," she says. "Challenges were a part of the journey, and what I wanted was an afterthought." Merely seconds later, the music begins, and it enters with a boom.”
The album will soundtrack 21 Savage’s debut film American Dream: The 21 Savage Story, which is set see 21, Donald Glover and Stranger Things star Caleb McLaughlin, "depict three generations of 21 Savage in the heat of a personal crisis.” That said, some fans have speculated that the trailer might be a standalone piece as part of a larger american dream album rollout strategy.
Either way, we’re down for it all. Check out the trailer for yourself — here, and listen to 21’s new album below.
