By the Numbers
American Dream keeps 21 Savage alone in the lyricist column on his solo tracks and adds the featured artists who wrote their own parts, including Doja Cat, Young Thug, Lil Durk, and Burna Boy. The composer credits run wide because many beats are built on samples and interpolations, so each track lists his legal name Shéyaa Bin Abraham-Joseph beside the producers, with Metro Boomin as Leland Wayne, and the original writers, from Vinícius de Moraes on 'Redrum' to the writers behind 'Should've Wore a Bonnet.'
American Dream is the third solo studio album by 21 Savage, released in January 2024 through Slaughter Gang Entertainment and Epic Records. It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, his fourth chart-topper, with the top-ten singles 'Redrum' and 'Née-Nah,' the latter with Travis Scott and Metro Boomin. The guest list includes Doja Cat, Young Thug, Lil Durk, Summer Walker, Brent Faiyaz, Burna Boy, and Mariah the Scientist, with frames of narration drawn from his mother. He wrote his own verses, and the composer credits add the wide producer roster and the writers of the album's samples.
