Sha Yaa Bin Abraham-Joseph[3][4][5] (born 22 October 1992), better known by his stage name 21 Savage, is a rapper, songwriter, and record producer based in Atlanta, Georgia. He gained attention in the Atlanta underground for the 2015 mixtape The Slaughter Tape before attaining nationwide attention following the Metro Boomin collaborative album Savage Mode (2016), its lead single "X", and his collaboration with Drake, "Sneakin'".[6]

Abraham-Joseph released his debut studio album, Issa Album, on 7 July 2017.[7] It debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 and gave Abraham-Joseph his first Billboard Hot 100 top 20 song, "Bank Account". He achieved his first number one single at the end of 2017 with his feature on Post Malone's "Rockstar".[8] On Halloween 2017, he released the Offset and Metro Boomin collaboration Without Warning. In December 2018, he released his sophomore album, I Am > I Was which debuted and charted at number one on the Billboard 200 for two consecutive weeks.[9]

21 Savage has been nominated for Record of the Year and Best Rap/Sung Performance at the 61st Grammy Awards.[10]

In February 2019, Abraham-Joseph was reportedly arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, who reportedly accused him of being a citizen of the United Kingdom illegally present in the U.S. He was previously thought to be a native of the Atlanta, Georgia area.[11]

Early life

Sha Yaa Bin Abraham-Joseph was born on 22 October 1992. He was raised by his mother, Heather, who is of Dominican origin, and has four brothers and six sisters, one of whom died due to a shooting after an attempted drug deal.[12] In July 2005, Abraham-Joseph moved to the United States.[13]

In the seventh grade, Abraham-Joseph was banned permanently from every school in the DeKalb County School District for gun possession.[14] This led him to begin attending schools around the Atlanta metropolitan area before being sent to a youth detention center.[15] After being released from the youth detention center, he completed eighth grade through an alternative program before finishing a semester of high school; he dropped out in his freshman year following multiple exclusions that he said "exhausted" him.[16]

After dropping out, Abraham-Joseph joined a street gang affiliated with the wider Bloods street gang[6] and became a full-time drug dealer, mainly selling cannabis.[16] He also regularly took part in other criminal activities including robbery and grand theft auto, although he was only arrested once after contraband was found in a car he was driving.[17] In 2011, when Abraham-Joseph was 19, he lost his "right hand" man, Larry, in a shootout.[16] In 2013, on his 21st birthday, Abraham-Joseph was shot six times by rival gang members and his brother Johnny "Tay-Man" Abraham-Joseph was killed during an attempted robbery.[18]

Career

2014–15: Early releases

Following the death of his friend in a shootout on his 21st birthday, Abraham-Joseph began rapping, naming himself after the event[17] though Savage came from Instagram predictions.[19] His music career was originally subsidized by the uncle of his deceased friend, giving him money for studio time in 2013.[6] On 12 November 2014, 21 Savage's debut single, "Picky", produced by DJ Plugg, was released. It was later included on his debut mixtape, The Slaughter Tape, which was released on May 25, 2015.[20] The release made him what Interview called an "underground hero in Atlanta".[6]

On 2 July 2015, 21 released a collaborative EP, Free Guwop, with Sonny Digital.[21] It is a tribute EP to fellow rapper and influence Gucci Mane. On December 1, 2015, Abraham-Joseph released his second mixtape, Slaughter King.[22]

2016–17: Savage Mode, Issa Album, and Without Warning

Main articles: Savage Mode; Issa Album; and Without Warning (21 Savage, Offset and Metro Boomin album)

In June 2016, Abraham-Joseph was named as one of the "Freshman Class" of 2016 by XXL.[23] On 15 July 2016, Abraham-Joseph released his joint EP Savage Mode with Atlanta-based record producer Metro Boomin. The EP gained international success and peaked at number 23 on the Billboard 200, which became their highest charting EP to date.[24] He was on the cover of Fader.[25] His single "X" featuring Future on the EP was confirmed by Billboard as going platinum in the US, being 21's 1st platinum record.[26] On 18 January 2017, Abraham-Joseph announced that he had signed to Epic Records.[27]

In 2017, his debut studio album, Issa Album, debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200.[28][29] Its lead single, "Bank Account", peaked at number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100.[30][31] Later that year, he was featured on Post Malone's single "Rockstar", which peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and broke numerous records. It's Abraham-Joseph's first number 1 song.[8][32][33][34]

On 31 October 2017, a collaborative studio album by Abraham-Joseph, Offset, and Metro Boomin named Without Warning was released. Without Warning debuted at number four on the US Billboard 200[35] and received generally positive reviews from critics. Its lead single, "Ric Flair Drip" peaked at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100.[36][37]

2018–present: I Am > I Was

21 Savage in June 2018

In April 2018, Abraham-Joseph had a guest appearance on Young Thug's extended play Hear No Evil along with fellow rappers Nicki Minaj and Lil Uzi Vert.[38] Later that month, he also appeared on the single "Outstanding" by SahBabii.[39] On 21 March 2018 he was featured on the single "Rover 2.0", which is part of BlocBoy JB's Simi mixtape.[40][41] In the following month, he was featured on Ty Dolla Sign's "Clout", which was part of the deluxe edition of his album Beach House 3.[42]

On 31 October 2018, Abraham-Joseph posted on his Instagram a picture of a man in silhouette jumping in the air in the direction away from a large blaze. In the bottom right corner of the picture there is a "Parental Advisory" notice, as there oftentimes is on the cover of rap releases. Abraham-Joseph also tagged Metro Boomin in the post. For these reasons, some speculated it to be a sequel to 2017's Without Warning album. However, it turned out to be the cover for Metro’s debut solo album, Not All Heroes Wear Capes.[43]

On 6 December 2018, Abraham-Joseph posted cover art for upcoming album, I Am > I Was, on Instagram, which features a blurred out image of himself, captioning the image with a number of goat emojis.[44] The next day, Abraham-Joseph took to Twitter and his Instagram story to apologize that he "forgot" to release the album, saying on Twitter: "Dam I forgot to drop my album my bad y’all".[45] He announced a new date of 21 December 2018.[46] The track-list was leaked by record producer Louis Bell via his Instagram story on 13 December 2018.[47][48]

21 Savage released his sophomore studio album I Am > I Was on 21 December 2018 with features from Travis Scott, Post Malone, Childish Gambino, Offset, J. Cole, Gunna, Lil Baby, Project Pat, and Schoolboy Q.[49][50] None of those acts, however, are credited as artists on the album. I Am > I Was debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 earning 131,000 album-equivalent units (including 18,000 pure album sales), it's Abraham-Joseph's first U.S number one album.[51][52] It was led by "A Lot", featuring vocals from J. Cole. It peaked at number 33 on the US Billboard 100.[53]

Musical style

Called "one of the last street niggas left making music" by frequent collaborator Metro Boomin,[54] Abraham-Joseph's music is heavily autobiographic with emphasis on violent and criminal aspects of his past including murder and drug dealing.[17]

Controversies

In 2018, 21 Savage reportedly started a movement called "Guns Down, Paintballs Up" which was intended to reduce gun violence.[55] The head of the Detroit Police Department, James Craig, described the movement as "well-intentioned, however, misguided".[56][57] The movement has been linked to several cases of property crime and homicide.[55][58] 21 Savage has not commented on the matter, although he paid for the funeral of a 3-year old who was killed in a related incident.[55][58]

Controversy arose after Abraham-Joseph pulled out a firearm during a pool party on 11 June 2018.[59] Abraham-Joseph was given the firearm by a friend after seeing an opposing crew member also pull out a pistol.[60]

"ASMR", a song from 21 Savage's sophomore studio album I Am > I Was caused some controversy with its lyrics. The lyrics was: “We been gettin’ that Jewish money, everything is kosher.” The lyrics came under fire for perpetuating negative Jewish stereotypes when LeBron James shared an Instagram story quoting “ASMR”.[61] Abraham-Joseph later apologized claiming on Twitter that "The Jewish people I know are very wise with there [ sic ] money so that’s why I said we been gettin' Jewish money. I never thought anyone would take offense, I’m sorry if I offended everybody, never my intention -- I love all people."[62]

Personal life

Abraham-Joseph practices the African religion Ifá.[63][64][65] In the summer of 2017, Savage started dating model Amber Rose.[66][67] As of May 2018, the couple has separated.[68]

He has three children; two sons and one daughter. He rarely talks about them, but Abraham-Joseph had posted pictures of them on his Instagram.[69][70]

Abraham-Joseph was convicted of felony drug charges in October 2014 in Fulton County, Georgia.[71]

On 3 February 2019, Abraham-Joseph was taken into custody by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), who accused him of being a British national who has been in the United States unlawfully since his visa expired in July 2006. Until the accusation, Abraham-Joseph had long been considered a local act of DeKalb County[72]. Interview magazine reported in an interview with Seth Rogen in April 2018 that the rapper's birthplace was Atlanta, Georgia.[73]

A spokesperson for ICE said of Abraham-Joseph, "His whole public persona is false. He actually came to the U.S. from the U.K. as a teen and overstayed his visa."[74] British media outlets, such as The Daily Telegraph and the Daily Mail, have reported that Abraham-Joseph was born in Newham, London.[75][76][77]

Philanthropy

In March 2018, Abraham-Joseph announced the creation of the 21 Savage Bank Account Campaign (named after his hit song "Bank Account") on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, he also announced that he was donating $21,000 to the cause. Abraham-Joseph said "I started the 21 Savage Bank Account Campaign and its to help kids learn how to save money and make money, and open bank accounts for kids."[78] In early August of 2016, 2017, and 2018, Abraham-Joseph hosted the "Issa Back to School Drive" (named after his album Issa Album) in his home neighborhood in Atlanta, Georgia. The drive gave free haircuts, hairstyles, supplies, and school uniforms. In July 2018, Abraham-Joseph donated $10,000 to Atlanta's Continental Colony Elementary School to fund an anti-bullying campaign.[79]

Filmography

In 2017, it was reported that 21 Savage was working on his debut film, Issa Movie.[80]

21 Savage has also worked on a YouTube animated mini-series named Year 2100.[81]
