21 Savage Releases Fourth Studio Album

Atlanta rapper 21 Savage released his fourth studio album, "What Happened to the Streets?", on Friday, December 12, 2025, surprising fans with a midnight drop just days after its announcement. The 14-track project features collaborations with artists including Drake, Lil Baby, Latto, GloRilla, G Herbo, Young Nudy, Metro Boomin, and R&B singer Jawan Harris, alongside production from Wheezy, Southside, Zaytoven, and others.

The album arrives as a follow-up to 21 Savage's 2024 release "American Dream," which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 133,000 equivalent album units in its first week. This new effort was teased earlier in December through a cinematic black-and-white trailer on Instagram and unveiled at Art Basel, where 21 Savage shared details about the project's direction. The cover art, an original painting by British-Nigerian artist Slawn, draws inspiration from Kerry James Marshall's "A Portrait of the Artist as a Shadow of His Former Self." Four limited-edition CD versions, each uniquely numbered from 1 to 2,100 and originally priced at $9.98, sold out quickly, with resellers listing them on eBay for up to $999.
