21 Savage released the biggest album of 2024 so far last month. His new project american dream has already spent two weeks at the very top of the Billboard 200 and is expected to challenge Morgan Wallen's One Thing At A Time for a potential third week on top. It also had two songs, "redrum" and "nee-nah" debut in the top 10 of the Hot 100. "redrum" in particular has stuck around placing at the number 10 spot in it's second week on the chart.

Savage has also been making the media rounds in the wake of the album's success. Most notably, he popped up on Shannon Sharpe's Club Shay Shay show.
