The much anticipated album by 21 Savage and Drake is finally here! In the last few days, the two artists were dropping humorous fake teasers to prepare fans for the upcoming release.
The teasers begin with A vogue magazine editorial cover, where they thank Anna Wintour and Vogue for having them featured.

Next they shared an 18 second clip of them in a room like TinyDesk concert announcing that they were about to perform. Not only was the video cut short, everyone believed that this TinyDesk concert was posted somewhere until NPR confirmed it was a fake announcement by this post and they would love to make it happen for real.
Lastly, they did a hilarious “interview” for the Howard Stern show where they actually got a deepfake Howard Stern in on the joke. He asks them about dating and marriage, and Drake goes on to talk about not being able to commit.

All content but mostly the Fake Howard Stern interview leads up to the album cover art that was even released two days early. The picture of a young girl with odd outlined teeth and an interesting choice of braids. The look on her face is a simple smile that almost comes off naïve and makes us intrigued.
As of this moment while I’m writing this they just dropped the album an hour ago and the album is absolute fire. It has the perfect mix of Drake’s vocals with suave lyrics and adding 21 Savage’s hard hitting beats with some real life expertise. It truly is a beautiful combination of music that people will want to listen to over and over.
A few of my favorite songs so far are “On BS”, “Hours in Silence”, and “Treacherous Twins”. The duo is on next level legendary creativity per usual.
After the tragic news of music group Migos rapper TakeOff’s untimely death, the music community and the world could use cheering up.
These artists know how to set a mood. Check out the album now everywhere.
