The image featured actors Caleb McLaughlin and Donald Glover with the title “American Dream The 21 Savage story.” Following the post, he followed up with a 4 minute trailer featuring both actors announcing the albums official release.

The album “American Dream” is 21’s third solo album. The album cover features a young 21 with a series words including his birth name and citizenship status. Staying true to it’s theme, 21 announced the 15-track project with a series of baby pictures of each featured artist. This album includes features from Young Thug, Doja Cat, Brent Faiyaz, Burna Boy, Travis Scott, Summer Walker, and several more.

Furthermore, the album comes as a supposed soundtrack to 21’s life as an American Immigrant. At the end of the the trailer for the supposed upcoming movie, the ending caption informed fans that the walnut is inspired by the 4 minute trailer. 21 was born in Plaistow, London to British parents. In 2018, he was arrested by ICE officials after they discovered his non citizenship status. Although he had lived in the U.S since his childhood, he obtained his American citizenship just last year. This also solidified his ability to be able to tour outside the The United Sates. Significantly, he celebrated his American citizenship by performing alongside Drake in Drake’s home Country of Canada during their joint ‘It Was All A Blur’ tour.
Moreover, he dropped a music video to “Redrum,” which is out now. The project comes just in time for the new year. This project is his first solo release since his 2018 Grammy award winning album “I am> I was.” There has not been an official announcement on the album’s supposed film. The film’s director credits include Donald Glover, Steven Glover, Jamal Olori, and Fam Udeorji. Have you heard 21 Savage’s new album “American Dream?” Are you looking forward to seeing the film?
