After rising to the forefront of all hype, 21 Savage is undeniably one of the most divisive figures in not only hip-hop but all music.
His status as a total meme has slowly transformed the way we look at how artists choose to market and present themselves, completely evident in eclectic ways in which emerging SoundCloud artists like Lil Peep, XXXtentacion and Lil Pump have curated their aesthetics.
Naming his album after the infamous ‘Issa’ meme, 21 Savage unleashed a new album onto the world on Friday and here’s what the public’s verdict has been so far..
I made a new word “ISSA” and it’s the most used new word of 2017! we’re is my recognition ??
