Bookending their critically acclaimed album, Savage Mode 2, GRAMMY® Award-winning multiplatinum rapper 21 Savage and mega-producer Metro Boomin release the video for ‘Brand New Draco,’ today. The LEFF directed video, who previously teamed with 21 and Metro for ‘Runnin’’, follows the duo on the road to financial freedom and features a slew of celebrity cameos including DJ Khaled, Shaquille O’Neil and Bow Wow among others.
The collaborative album scored unanimous tastemaker praise upon release. NME awarded the album “5-out-of-5 stars” and crowned it “a near-perfect sequel that leaves nothing to chance,” and Complex applauded it as a “cinematic masterpiece.” Rating it “4-out-of-5 stars,” Rolling Stone observed, “The duo recaptures the magic of the first ‘Savage Mode’ installment while paying tribute to their Southern rap influences.” However, NPR put it best, “It’s not about the autobiographical details, but how convincing he sounds.”
The album also landed on every viable year end best of album lists and most recently was nominated for the Best group award at the 2021 BET Awards. Watch the video for “Brand New Draco” above.
