21 Savage has emerged from relative silence to deliver what could be the year’s most anticipated Hip-Hop release, confirming his new album WHAT HAPPENED TO THE STREETS? will arrive on December 12.

The Atlanta rap star released a chilling cinematic trailer that sets an ominous tone for his return.

The trailer’s brooding soundtrack and chaotic montage suggest the project will explore darker themes than his previous commercial efforts, potentially returning to the street narratives that first brought him recognition.

The timing proves strategic for the London-born, Atlanta-raised artist who has maintained a lower profile throughout 2025 compared to his typically prolific output.

american dream generated massive success and established 21 Savage as both a rapper and a commercial powerhouse after the album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200.
