21 Savage has seen unprecedented success in his career in the past few years and it is showing. TIME recently unveiled their annual 100 Most Influential People of 2024 and the american dream rapper is the only hip hop artist on the list.
“I trust my gut when it comes to my music and collaborations, and I find myself naturally drawn to artists like 21 Savage—those who remain grounded in their convictions and consistently defy the constraints imposed upon them,” Burna Boy wrote on the British-American rapper’s blurb. “Like 21, I know what it’s like to rise above challenging beginnings, and it makes his success all that much more remarkable.
“Throughout his work—including on his newest album, American Dream, which opens with a reflection by his mother on their immigration story—21 maintains an authenticity that resonates deeply. His approach to rap is refreshingly genuine; he speaks to us in a relatable way, effortlessly navigating the complexities of the genre. Whether he tackles weighty subjects or offers moments of levity, his delivery remains compelling.”
The blurb added, “I have recently had the privilege of sharing one of my most significant milestones with 21, performing with him at the Grammys. I’m excited to witness the greater evolution of his artistry and the impact he continues to make on the world stage.”
