21 Savage is back with his brand new album.

On Friday, January 12, the Atlanta-based rap star delivered his third studio album American Dream. His fresh LP opens with a foreword from his mother Heather Joseph, who describes the grueling challenges she overcame to give her son a new life in America. The album continues with stand-out tracks like "all of me," which debuted in his viral movie trailer, "redrum" and "sneaky." It also contains collaborations with Doja Cat, Young Thug , Metro Boomin, Lil Durk, Summer Walker, Brent Faiyaz, Burna Boy, Mariah the Scientist and Travis Scott.

21 Savage spent the past month hyping up the album, which is his first solo release in five years. He began by putting up billboards of altered American flags created by artist Hebru Brantley throughout the city of Atlanta in December. Earlier this week, he fueled more hype by sharing a movie poster for his biopic American Dream: The 21 Savage Story starring Caleb McLaughlin and Donald Glover. After he dropped the star-studded trailer for the film, the Grammy award-winning artist began to tease the features by posting baby photos from each collaborator.

In celebration of the album's release, 21 Savage also dropped the official music video for "redrum." The video, which was directed by Danny Seth, was shot in England while he was overseas for his first-ever string of shows in the UK. Watch the video and listen to the entire album below.
