Essential Albums
- The impending arrival of 21 Savage’s SAVAGE MODE II was announced with a trailer directed by Gibson Hazard and narrated by Morgan Freeman. The takeaway, aside from the fact that Savage and collaborator Metro Boomin were emerging together from separate and presumably unrelated periods of inactivity, is that the project was much more than just two pals hanging out. With SAVAGE MODE II, the pair have effectively reached back to the era when 21 Savage wanted nothing more than to let rap fans know he was a “Real Ni**a” with “No Heart”. SAVAGE MODE II follows 2017’s Without Warning—also featuring Offset—as the third collaboration between the pair, the first being 2016’s Savage Mode. Savage and Metro would go on to become exponentially more successful in the years following, but SAVAGE MODE II songs like “Glock in My Lap”, “Brand New Draco” and “No Opp Left Behind” effectively recreate the us-against-the-world energy of the original. Elsewhere on the project, Savage is every bit the rap superstar we know in collaboration with Drake and Young Thug on “Mr. Right Now” and “Rich N***a Shit”, respectively. But whether he’s talking about “Snitches & Rats” (with Young Nudy) or opening up about a relationship gone sour on “RIP Luv”, 21 Savage sounds like he's at the top of his game while he’s back in the saddle with Metro. Or as Morgan Freeman puts it in the trailer, “When someone is in Savage Mode, they’re not to be fucked with.”

About Metro Boomin
When the boy who would become Metro Boomin—Leland Tyler Wayne, born in 1993 in St. Louis, Missouri—decided he was going to get serious about the rap thing, he intercepted his mother after work with a thick green folder that was part dossier, part wish list, part five-year plan. By the time he graduated from high school, he and Mum were making eight-hour car trips from St. Louis to Atlanta so Metro could work with Gucci Mane and OJ da Juiceman—contingent on him keeping his spot on the honour roll. A few months into his freshman year at Morehouse, it became clear that the balance was too tough to keep up. But the work—glossy, atmospheric monsters that pushed trap to cinematic extremes—had too much traction to ignore. What followed was some of the most definitive rap of the 2010s, helmed by Future (“Mask Off”, “Low Life”), Migos (“Bad and Boujee”), Post Malone (“Congratulations”), 21 Savage (“Bank Account”) and Kodak Black (“Tunnel Vision”). That Metro tackled such longer-form projects as full-length collaborations and executive productions not only made him unusually well-known for a producer, but suggested a broader vision above and beyond day-to-day beatmaking. After finally releasing his own album with 2018’s NOT ALL HEROES WEAR CAPES, he confirmed those wider ambitions by assembling an all-star cast for 2023’s ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE soundtrack and returning more than once to his creative partnership with fellow trap visionary Future.
