Prior
to
that,
the
Grammy-winning
rapper
surprised
fans
with
the
trailer
for
American
Dream:
The
21
Savage
Story
which
we’re
still
not
sure
is
real
or
just
elaborate
promo
like
that
now-infamous
fake
Vogue
cover.
Directed
by
Donald
Glover,
Stephen
Glover,
Jamal
Olori,
and
Fam
Udeorji,
the
Tubi-esque
short
film
depicts
three
generations
of
21
Savage
(played
by
Glover
and
Stranger
Things
star
Caleb
McLaughlin)
in
the
heat
of
a
personal
crisis.
Peep
the
preview
below:
Joining
Savage
in
the
trailer
are
Donald
Glover,
Caleb
McLaughlin,
Golden
Globe-nominated
actress
Natasha
Lyonne,
Bel-Air
star
Jabari
Banks,
The
Haunting
of
Hill
House’s
Victoria
Pedretti,
Beef’s
Young
Mazino,
Fast
&
Furious
veteran
Chad
Lindberg,
P-Valley
star
Gail
Bean,
and
the
always
hilarious
Druski.
Additionally,
Savage
dropped
altered
American
flags
throughout
the
city
of
Atlanta
in
collaboration
with
creative
multihyphenate
and
visual
artist
Hebru
Brantley.
Instead
of
the
traditional
50-star
layout,
these
flags
were
adorned
with
only
21
stars.

“In
creating
this
piece,
I
aimed
to
encapsulate
the
history
of
21
Savage
while
incorporating
elements
of
my
own
personal
connection
to
his
music,”
said
Brantley.
The
flag
itself
is
black
with
6
stripes,
symbolizing
what
it
means
to
be
Black
in
America
—
it’s
better
to
be
judged
by
12
than
carried
by
6.
For
those
with
a
discerning
eye,
my
signature
linework
can
be
seen
within
the
stripes.
In
those
blue
and
red
bands,
there
are
illustrations
that
are
deeply
personal
to
both
Savage
and
myself
–
these
elements
speak
to
what
21
stands
for
through
his
music,
his
experiences
and
the
adversities
he
has
faced.”
Are
you
feeling
the
new
album?
If
so,
what’s
your
fave
track?
Tell
us
down

and
peep
the
social
media
hysteria
over
American
Dream
on
the
flip.
