American Dream is the third studio album by British-American rapper 21 Savage. The album contains guest appearances from Doja Cat, Young Thug, Metro Boomin, Lil Durk, Travis Scott, Summer Walker, Brent Faiyaz, Burna Boy, Tommy Newport, Mikky Ekko, and Mariah the Scientist. Production was handled by Metro Boomin himself, London on da Track, Scribz Riley, Allen Ritter, OG Parker, Cardo, FnZ, and Honorable C.N.O.T.E., among others.
The album serves as the follow-up to Savage's 2018 release I Am > I Was. Pitchfork reviewed American Dream as "a sensitive affirmation that unravels the violent persona he’s created, an honest assessment fueled by confidence in who he’s become and what he wants to do. It is the crux of the freedom that his mother strived for from the beginning", and, ultimately, balancing "a new level of celebrity and the icy realism that’s long been his signature."
