21 Savage‘s latest masterpiece, “American Dream,” has crashed onto the scene, asserting itself as the hip-hop sensation of the year and potentially marking the grandest release of 2024. This solo venture, following the impactful “i am > i was” in 2018, resonates more powerfully than ever. Before this, the Atlanta trap maestro blessed us with “SAVAGE MODE II” alongside Metro Boomin (2020) and “Her Loss” featuring Drake (2022). Now, with 15 tracks that dropped just yesterday, the focus is on “American Dream” and the eagerly awaited first-week sales projections courtesy of HDD (HITS Daily Double).

If the current momentum holds, “American Dream” could shatter 21 Savage’s previous solo debut records. Early estimates suggest it’s on track to sell an impressive 130K to 150K album-equivalent units in its first week. For context, his 2018 project sold 131K copies in the first week, indicating he’s comfortably poised to outdo himself commercially. Let’s not forget the collaborative projects—”SAVAGE MODE II” and “Her Loss,” which sold 171K and 404K copies respectively—making this solo achievement even more remarkable.

With the potential to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard charts, the sales figures are not just numbers; they signify 21 Savage’s stronghold on the industry. Yet, amidst the debates about sales, there’s a more profound question: does it really matter when fans just crave the best music from 21 Savage? As the album garners positive reviews and acclaim within 24 hours of release, the conversation, including potential disses on the LP against Gunna, is merely a prelude to how the record will stand the test of time throughout the year.

While fans revel in the success of “American Dream,” there’s another exciting prospect on the horizon—the Slaughter Gang boss’s upcoming movie, rumored to star Donald Glover. The prospect of a biopic is tantalizing, but is it just a promotional stunt for the album? The release date is set for July 4, leaving us eager to discover the truth. For the latest updates on 21 Savage, stay tuned to Honk Magazine. The saga continues, and the “American Dream” is far from over.

Outrage Over Sexyy Red’s MLK Tribute Leads to Apology

Honk Magazine - Sexyy Red

Sexyy Red is known for her bold style, but her recent attempt to pay tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. didn’t go well. On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, she posted an AI-generated image of herself with Dr. King, placed in what looked like a nightclub party scene. While she likely intended to celebrate him, the reaction was unfavorable, especially after Dr. Bernice King, the youngest daughter of Dr. King, criticized the post.

Dr. Bernice King found the image “distasteful” and argued that it did not honor her father’s legacy properly. She pointed out that having Dr. King in a party setting undermined his significant contributions to civil rights. On Twitter, she said, “This is not how we honor my father,” and urged Sexyy Red to take the image down immediately.
