21 Savage’s journey from the streets of Atlanta to the top of the charts is one wild ride. Born in London, he moved to Atlanta as a kid and quickly found himself tangled in the harsh realities of street life. After surviving a near-death experience on his 21st birthday, he turned to rap, creating raw and gritty tracks that reflected his life. From the underground success of 'The Slaughter Tape' to the breakout 'Savage Mode' with Metro Boomin, every project took him higher. 'Issa Album' solidified his place in the mainstream, and his collaboration with Offset and Metro on 'Without Warning' kept the momentum going. But it's 'I Am > I Was' that really shows his growth, both musically and personally, earning him his first Grammy. Through all the highs and lows, including a shocking ICE arrest, 21 Savage has remained true to his roots while evolving into one of the most compelling voices in hip-hop. With 'Savage Mode II' and 'Her Loss' with Drake, he proves that he’s not just surviving—he’s thriving.
