(WHTTS), announced December 8, 2025, and dropping December 12 via Slaughter Gang/Epic Records. This gritty return to street-level storytelling—questioning eroded "street code"—follows american dream's No. 1 Billboard 200 debut with 133K units, hits like "redrum" and "nee-nah." Expect 14 unreleased tracks in 45-50 minutes, no pre-singles, speculated features from Metro Boomin, Lil Durk, Travis Scott. Highlights: 30-second monochromatic teaser with sniper imagery and voiceover "I wanna know what happened to the street code I grew up on," racking millions of views; Art Basel Miami activation with Slawn's upside-down clown inflatable at Andrew Salomon gallery and Booby Trap; surreal monochromatic cover art fusing urban decay, daggers, shadows—inspired by Kerry James Marshall. After low-key 2025 features on Summer Walker’s “Get Yo Boy,” Travis Scott's JACKBOYS 2, Metro's A Futuristic Summa, analysts predict another No. 1 with holiday streams. Analytic Dreamz details rollout, themes of nostalgia vs. modern betrayal, physical editions with five unique Slawn CD covers (2,100 numbered copies), and why this minimalist drop reclaims Savage's roots. Must-listen for 21 Savage, hip-hop street narrative fans. Pre-save now on Spotify, Apple Music.Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Starting point is 00:00:06 Oh, don't mind me, just watching some promotional, some marketing material from the one and only Abraham more commonly referred to as 21 Savage. And you know, I can't stop thinking to myself. This is a very interesting trailer. I'm not saying that this is AI, because that would be messed up, right? That would be crazy. You know, this type of animation right here, that's definitely not AI. You know what I'm saying? Looking at this promotional market.
Starting point is 00:00:38 getting material is very interesting and of course we're going to get into feature talk in the second but at the end of the day somebody has to call it out because i think this is a very interesting use of AI because at the end of day artist's objective to somebody that what we just witnessed analytic dreams video on spotify to see the video along with audio that was a masterpiece it's to say there was a second trailer that dropped for what happened to the streets that's also dropping this friday so let's watch this as well Now once again, I'm not saying this is AI. I'm just saying that art is subjective and at the end of day,
Starting point is 00:01:20 you do their information with you will. Because who, who kid is that? No, for real, bro. Come on. But then, you know what I'm saying? Come on, man. Hey, bro, who kid is this? Now, they show me somebody kid. That was actually walking the streets like this while being filmed?
Starting point is 00:01:39 because you know obviously they're probably doing it for marketing promotion only but what in the world that's going on right here somebody get a little timmy you guys see that's the problem this is crazy you know what I'm saying little Jiquin's out here having the time of his life no parent in sight crazy now if this is not AI then I would be you know I'll take back what I said but it's very interesting let's just put like that and then that definitely sounds like something off the album I ain't line as far as the beat so we're going to lower that a little bit okay a little sand adreous type i think somebody got laid out or something like that all right so this uh once again says what happened to the streets now of course artist's objective i think he's trying to talk about how um
Starting point is 00:02:39 maybe the little kid is out here selling drugs and you know maybe that goes back to the ultimate question what happened to the streets anyways as you see by the date that's the main thing we care about 12 12 25 which basically means this friday album i mean 21 savage is dropping what happened to the streets. So now, so now, it's time to get in the feature talk, as you already know who I want on the album.
Starting point is 00:03:04 Is it okay? Come on now. If we don't have a Drake feature on this 21 Savage album, safe to say, I would be highly upset. But then, you know what I'm saying? I was like, damn, look at the state of hip-hop. Like, what's going on? Not only because Abraham and Auburn
Starting point is 00:03:19 was out here making some of the greatest hip-hop collab music I've ever heard in life. But also, because I believe when it comes to 21 Savage, not switching on Drake, which is one of the main reasons we haven't got a lot of U.S. features from Drake. I mean, I think, well, no, Yeats from the U.S. Anyways, as far as Drake actually trying to stay to himself, you realize that he's only collab with Central C. He's collab with Yeet, and he's staying clear away from anybody who's under UMG.
Starting point is 00:03:49 Because, of course, the beef is way deeper than a lot of people think, as far as, you know, Drake suing them. So when it comes to 21 Savage album and you come to look at the credits, ladies and gentlemen, I know that ain't who I think it is. It says Slaughter Gang LLC, under exclusive license to Epic Records,
Starting point is 00:04:07 a division of Sony Music Entertainment. Now, of course, I'm just going to do some, you know, a little due diligence as far as my journalistic integrity. I'm going to go to some sexy songs for you, and you come to realize that when you look at OVO sound under exclusive license to Santa and the label group and OVO under
Starting point is 00:04:27 exclusive license to Republic a division of UMG safe to say that's what the album some sexy songs for you came out under usually for Drake is just under UMG but because it was a collab album with party next door they had to split the pot with another major label so when you look at party next door and who he's usually under as far as just go to his last album party next door four, right? Let's just go to the credits. And you come to realize that he's under OVO sound, under exclusive license to
Starting point is 00:04:59 Santa and the label group. Now, the main reason I'm pointing this out is because not only is Drake separating himself from a lot of different artists, but I believe 21 Savage is one of the few artists. He also is one of the few artists. Central Sea is one of the few artists who Drake is willing to do a collab with
Starting point is 00:05:16 because of them not switching sides. to the point where when 21 Savage was asked about the Metro versus Drake beat, he really didn't take a side and you already know how far back he goes with Metro. So when Drake said, um, 21 Savage, you're the only one ever checked on me on, uh, what was it, give me a hug. He said something like that, like 21 Savage was the only guy who checked on him or something like that. Safe to say, I say all that to say, we should see Aubrey Graham on this album. Is it okay? I got my dope on me and i think it's gonna be dope as one of the greatest hip-hop duos in history of all time i think should make a appearance on 21 savage latest album because if you look at his past album he hasn't put
Starting point is 00:05:58 out an album but like what it's been like a it's like over a year at this point because american dream which ended up selling 133 000 first week it came out january 12 2024 and you look at it there's no Drake in sight. So it's not like he's just boggings down with Drake features. I mean, he just had a whole collab album with Drake. But at the end of day, you did put out American Dream after that collab album and it didn't have Drake. Safe to say, it's time to spend the block twice. Like there's nowhere to park for that Canadian. Is it okay? I got my dope on me. So that's all I really care about. I ain't going to lie to you. I said we just have a feature talk. Really, we was just having Drake talk. You know what I'm saying? I only want Drake on this album. I wouldn't be mad if Drake's on
Starting point is 00:06:39 here, two, three, four, five. All right, my fault. Y'all got the point. Right. So at the end of day, 21 Savage is putting out his album, What Happened to the Streets? And it's safe to say, I cannot wait. But then, you know what I'm saying? I was like, damn, look at the state of hip hop. Like, what's going on? So with that being said, click my link to you in my bio.
Starting point is 00:06:57 Let me know in one of my social medias. Will you be streaming 21 Savage album? What happened to the streets when it comes out December 12th? And also, as far as the feature talk, who would you want to see on this album as a feature?
