Only year precision is assigned; later album placements, annual-list appearances, reissues and different performances do not replace that release year.

About 21 Savage
Song-specific inspiration or recording background is not established for this entry. This sourced artist profile provides career context.
21 Savage developed his rap career in Atlanta, releasing early solo mixtapes before working with producer Metro Boomin on Savage Mode. Issa Album followed as his first solo album in 2017. The next year's i am > i was included a lot, while Savage Mode II returned to the Metro Boomin partnership. His solo releases and jointly credited projects form distinct parts of that recording history.
