Everything we know about 21 Savage's American Dream

As stated earlier, the album will arrive this Friday, January 12, via Slaughter Gang and Epic Records. American Dream marks Savage's third solo full-length project since his 2018 release, I Am > I Was. However, the rapper has collaborated on duo projects like Savage Mode 2 with Metro Boomin in 2020 and Drake's Her Loss in 2022.

Rose Royce's harmonies blend seamlessly with 21 Savage's vocals, where the rapper speaks about his struggles coming up in the rap game, stating:

“How you that n—a when you can’t go where you grew up at?"

Although the film has no official date, the trailer stated "Independence Day" as the day this film will hit theatres. It also stated that music inspired by the film will be available on January 12.

With no apparent news from the rapper or his representatives on any delays, the project seems to be on track to release this Friday. Fans can be assured their speculations regarding who will be featured on this project will be answered soon.
