The project serves as the soundtrack for American Dream: The 21 Savage Story, a biopic about his life. The movie stars both Donald Glover and Stranger Things actor Caleb McLaughlin as Savage at different stages of his life.  

On Monday (January 8) 21 Savage shared a four-minute trailer for the movie featuring McLaughlin playing the young 21 Savage while Glover portrays him as an adult. His 2019 ICE arrest is prominently featured in the teaser. The real-life 21 Savage is seen rapping in an interrogation room. 

American Dream: The 21 Savage Story is scheduled for release July 4.

Meanwhile, 21 Savage shared his first solo single, “Call Me Revenge,” last October after years of collaborating with other artists. The single followed his chart-topping album with Drake, Her Loss, and the tour that followed.  

Late last year, the London-born rapper performed his first show in his home city after settling the immigration issues that stemmed from his ICE arrest. He brought the house down at The O2 Arena in London on Thursday, November 30.
