21 Savage May Still Be Deported

21 Savage was arrested early last year by ICE, which came as a surprise to all of his fans. Despite the rapper growing up in Atlanta, he was reportedly staying in the United States without a visa. He had applied for a new one but, because his last one had expired, the immigration police came after him.

We haven’t heard much about his case in recent months and, because of that, many assumed that he was in the clear. However, there is still a chance that he gets deported, which Savage explained in a new interview with DJ Scream and Big Bank.

In between speaking about financial literacy and his new album with Metro Boomin, 21 Savage spoke about what he would do if he were to be forced to leave the States.

“No, [the immigration case isn’t over] but the lawyers are dealing with it,” said the rapper when asked about his arrest last year. “I don’t think they’re gonna [deport me] but if they do, shit, my money coming with me, for sure. I’ll be alright, for sure. The money go wherever you go. They got rich people over there [in the UK]. I’ma be one of them.”

He went on to joke that he would also have all of his homies move to England with him. 

“I’m taking everybody. Everybody coming. Everybody gonna wanna come,” said Savage. “They not letting me go by myself anyway. They coming, for sure.”

“I done overcame every obstacle that came my way. N***as don’t really know how that shit be like. Growing up, a n***a is in the hood and a n***a an immigrant. So, no matter what, you can’t go to college,” he said. “You can’t get no license, you can’t get no job. My mom used to be paranoid driving. My mama used to be scared to drive. Scared. But she had to drive. No license. My mama ain’t never had a license until I was probably 24 or 25 when I got some money and got her shit straight. Our struggle was different. It wasn’t no other option. I couldn’t go get a job. I couldn’t go to college. I couldn’t get a license. I just got my license when I was like 25 or 26.”

Savage starts talking about immigration at 17:15.

Mister Motivation is making waves with his new single “For The Love of Women”

The new single from Mister Motivation, ”For The Love of Women”, isn’t just a song; it’s an anthem that combines lyrical, soulful hip-hop with heartfelt, raw content! This newest release puts the woman at the center, an ode to her strength, grace, and contribution to the world. But it’s also a call to action, challenging listeners to think about how we all can show up better in relationships and society.

You can hear it from the first beat, ”For the Love of Women” is a rollercoaster of rhythm and meaning. Mister Motivation sings the chorus with his smooth and convincing vocals, while his verses touch on the relevancy of love, give-and-take, and spiritual synergy in relationships. A lot of thought and love went into making this track as a tribute to the women we love and support daily. ”For the Love of Women” message is clear: love is not only fulfilled love but respectful; it goes beyond, it is about equality and the two of us growing together. ”For The Love of Women” seamless blend of music fulfilling its purpose. The song does not simply bemoan women generally but encourages men and women to think about the way they conduct themselves in relationships and how they can present a specific, transforming love. It’s a soulful nudge that in any relationship, the giving and receiving of love should be balanced and mutual.

Besides packing a punch wherever it’s played, the track also promotes something near Mister Motivation’s heart. ”For the Love of Women” is in partnership with F.L.O.W. (For the Love of Women), a non-profit organization committed to bringing awareness to period poverty. This effort focuses on a health issue impacting millions of women worldwide and underscores a basic need and dignity that should be accessible to all women.

With that release, Mister Motivation not only gifted the world with an infectious anthem of positivity but also used his platform to amplify the message of those fighting to make a change. ”For the Love of Women” is a tribute to both uplifting women and fighting period poverty. ”For the Love of Women” is essential whether you are interested in hearing some music from the soul or looking to do good. It finds its music in the stars. It’s purposed music, and Mister Motivation has again crafted something that features a voice that means something and cannot be shaken loose from memory.

Imaginary Voices of Alex Day delivers a haunting protest anthem ‘’The Highway’’

Imaginary Voices of Alex Day’s newest release, “The Highway,” is a gut punch. It is raw, self-reflective, and unapologetically human in a world of fabricated creators. Rage-fueled and visceral, Day pours all its disillusionment and fear into the track (recorded on election night in the U.S.), which doubles as personal catharsis and political protest. The feelings are not abstruse; they’re strewn across practically every lyric and layered beat.

The timing of “The Highway,” creation is no accident, it was penned when a nation made the choice, once more, to crown a leader the songwriter couldn’t bear. The result? A sonic snapshot of anxiety, resistance, and that yearning desire to bolt. But this is not just another protest song. What is particularly provocative about “The Highway” is who’s playing it. Or, more accurately, what? Imaginary Voices of Alex Day, the band that created the track, is entirely AI-powered, and that might be unsettling for some people, and that’s fine. Day welcomes it.

“The Highway” juxtaposes haunting synths with echoing guitar licks and a pulse that pounds like a racing heart. The vocals born of code have a surprising level of pathos as if the machines have learned to mourn. Lyrically, the song strays back and forth between hopelessness and resolve, teetering between yearning to flee and the necessity of taking a stand. This is not just a single; it’s a statement. It raises an eerie question: Can you protest if your sound is a meld of man and machine? And more to the point, does that mean your cry for help is any less valid?

“The Highway” isn’t for everyone. But for the invested, who continue to come to terms with the soul-splitting chaos of modern politics and the increasing prevalence of AI in art, it’s a fascinating, emotional listen. Alex Day doesn’t provide simple solutions, though he’s certainly asking the right questions.
