Background and promotion

In July 2023, Savage embarked on a concert tour with Canadian rapper and singer Drake, named the It's All a Blur Tour, [3] during which the latter stated that both him and Savage were working on their respective solo studio albums. [4] On August 7, Savage took to Twitter to state that "it's time", seemingly teasing the album. [5] After embarking on a solo headlining tour in November 2023, Savage headlined his first show in London, England, at the O2 Arena, where he stated that his "album finna drop" and told his fans to "get ready". [6] In December 2023, billboards and banners began to appear, further adding to the promotion of the album and further building its anticipation. [7] [8]

On January 8, 2024, Savage announced that a biopic film about himself titled American Dream: The 21 Savage Story, starring himself along with Donald Glover and Caleb McLaughlin, would be released on July 4. [9] [10] On the same day, Savage posted the film's trailer on his official YouTube channel, previewing a track from the album in the process, and announced that the music inspired by the film was available for pre-order. [11] [12] [13] [14] Just a day later, on January 9, Savage took to his social media to post the album's official cover art and announced that it would be released three days later. [15] [16] [17] On January 9, Savage began to tease the guest artists on the album after posting baby pictures of fellow American rapper Young Thug and American singers Summer Walker and Brent Faiyaz. [18] [19] [20] The following day, he posted baby pictures of fellow American rappers Lil Durk and Travis Scott and American singer Mariah the Scientist. [21] On January 11, Savage posted baby pictures of Nigerian singer Burna Boy, American record producer Metro Boomin, and fellow American rapper and singer Doja Cat. [22] Despite not releasing an official album tracklist prior to the album's release as per usual, the project was released smoothly and on time. [23] On January 24, 2024, in an interview with Shannon Sharpe on Club Shay Shay, Savage disclosed that his biopic, American Dream: The 21 Savage Story, was a parody made to promote the release of his album. [24]

Singles

The dual lead singles of the album, "Redrum" and "N.H.I.E.", the latter being a collaboration with Doja Cat, were sent to Italian contemporary hit radio on January 17, 2024. [25] Five days earlier, the official music video for the former was also released alongside the album. [26] [27] The second single, "Née-Nah", a collaboration with Travis Scott and Metro Boomin, was sent to US rhythmic radio on January 23, 2024. [28] The third and final single, "Prove It", a collaboration with Summer Walker, was sent to US rhythmic radio on June 4, 2024. [29]

American Dream received a score of 73 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic based on five critics' reviews, indicating "generally favorable" reception. [30] Writing for Clash , Robin Murray began his review by noting that the album "allows 21 Savage space to tell his story". Breaking down the halves of the album, he continued to write that "the first half of the record leans on his rap flair, while the second indulges his softer, R&B inclinations". Concluding his review, Murray wrote that "American Dream is 21 Savage at his most luminescent" and that he is "staying true to himself" as "he's been able to build something unique". [32] Writing for HipHopDX , Will Schube wrote that "American Dream is 21 Savage at his most deeply intimate, treating the recording booth like a diary, examining his life and career from a 30,000 foot view". He noted that "Savage isn't bitter on his latest offering, but he knows his worth; his family has worked too long and too hard for him to slip up or be taken advantage of" and that "he's stuck between trying to be good, trying to honor the effort and sacrifices his mother made, and being drawn back to his crew, back to the deals and the cash and everything that came with it", noting that "humanity is what makes this record succeed". [33]

Matthew Ritchie for Pitchfork noted that 21 Savage's "third solo album attempts to balance reveling in his newfound elevated celebrity and retaining the tortured persona that relishes in recounting the gruesome details of his journey" and that he "cuts through the glossy excess with clarity and lyrical self-assuredness, producing enough sterling moments to show that he's still a star worthy of fanfare". Ritchie praised the album's production, stating that the "overall cohesion of the production is a welcome sign" while also noting that "his effectiveness stems from minute tweaks, mutating his low register and delivery to imbue emotion and variance into his stone-faced raps". [34] Writing for Vibe , Grant Rindner stated that the album "serves as a very broad framing for the album, particularly in opening and closing spoken interludes from his mother". Rindner noted that "21's strongest rap skills, his caustic sense of humor and deadpan delivery, are fully intact on American Dream" before praising his beat selection as he wrote that he "has one of the best ears for beats in modern hip-hop, and his noted chemistry with Metro Boomin is present". [35]

Rolling Stone 's Mosi Reeves wrote that on the album, sometimes, "the production flags or his choruses don't quite hit their marks", however, "he's still capable of giving you what you've come to expect". In comparison to Her Loss , Reeves stated that "American Dream is garlanded with dreamily rendered samples, a technique used to much better effect here than Her Loss". [36] Writing for HotNewHipHop , Teejay Small wrote that "the album lacks a cohesive through-line that thematically ties the material back to the premise promised by the title and imagery" and that "the overall aesthetic of American Dream may lead listeners to assume that the project is a meditation on the state of poverty or immigration in 21's life". [37]

Commercial performance

American Dream debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 with 133,000 album-equivalent units, including 4,500 pure album sales, replacing Morgan Wallen's One Thing at a Time (2023) from the top spot. American Dream earned a total of 169.53 million on-demand streams. The album is 21 Savage's fourth consecutive number-one album in the US. [38] 14 tracks debuted on the Billboard Hot 100, with two of them in the top 10: "Redrum" (at No. 5) and "Née-Nah" (at No. 10) respectively. [39] The intro, "American Dream" was deemed too short to debut on the charts. [39] Savage also became the first artist of 2024 and the sixteenth artist overall to chart at least 100 songs on the Billboard Hot 100. [39] In the second week American Dream remained at the top of the Billboard 200, moving an additional 78,000 units. [40] [41]

The album broke a record in rap music as American Dream debuted with the most first-week streams for a trap album in history. [38] In addition to breaking a music record, American Dream debuted at number one on album charts in at least 7 countries including Australia, Canada, Lithuania, and New Zealand. [42] The album debuted at number 2 on the UK Albums Chart and the Irish Albums Chart while debuting at number 5 and 8 on the French Albums Chart and the Finnish Album Charts.
