What Does 21 Savage’s Album Title Mean?

The single “A Lot” featuring J.Cole was the most popular, with 2.5 million views. In 2020, it won a Grammy Award for Best Rap Song at the ceremony. The words from the lyrics are full of significance. For example, the lyric “Been through some things, but I couldn’t imagine my kids stuck at the border” referred to the Trump administration’s family separation policy. 

21’s most heartfelt track is “letter 2 my momma.” On this single, the artist pays homage to his mother, Heather Abraham Joseph, that was his shadow and mentor growing up. Meanwhile, 21 credits his father, who was never around him growing up, for his affiliations with gangs and the use of guns.
