21 Savage dropped off his third studio album, american dream, as a surprise to fans on Friday. The rollout began earlier this week when the rapper tapped Donald Glover and Caleb McLaughlin to portray him in "biopic" American Dream: The 21 Savage Story, scheduled to release on Jul. 4.
But what caught fans' attention upon playing Savage's new 15-track LP was the amount of samples, spanning '90s R&B (Mary J. Blige, Faith Evans) to '60s Brazilian music (Elza Laranjeira). While featured artists like Doja Cat, Travis Scott, Young Thug, Lil Durk and Mariah the Scientist, it were the samples that got most of the fanfare, which received high praise on social media.
Running just shy of 50 minutes, american dream includes an all-star team of producers, including Savage's frequent collaborator Metro Boomin, London on da Track, Cardo, OG Parker, Scribz Riley, and others.
