Not too much is known about the project yet, but it looks to be a biopic.

21 Savage has become one of the more elusive rappers recently. Sure, he has done plenty of features over the past few years. Additionally, he hit the road for a short time in the UK for a tour. However, in terms of his solo career, the London-born rapper has been stingy when it comes to dropping new music. It has been a little over five years since his last lone offering, i am > i was.

Furthermore, 21 has only dropped two solo singles in the past two years. His most recent was a collaboration with the Call of Duty video game franchise called "Call Me Revenge." But, there is some excitement surrounding the trap rap hitmaker. Supposedly, he will be moving into the movie industry. Moments ago, 21 Savage announced on his social media accounts an image of himself, Childish Gambino, and Caleb McLaughlin. The latter is one of the main actors from the ever-popular "Stranger Things" Netflix series.
