21 Savage - Bio, Net Worth, Family Life of Hip Hop Singer & Rapper

Another investigate the individual existences of the rich and well known. Or in this case, the young and up and coming, that was more of a mouthful than I intended. 21 Savage looks set to be a major star in the Hip Hop scene, similar to a reasonable number of different people I have looked at this last while. 

He's recorded as a trap artist, and keeping in mind that I'm not all that familiar with the conventions of the genre, I need to say, I love his music performance. Not much I can personally relate to, but stylistically it’s very well put together. The main goal of this article is about the amount they are worth, and where they got their wealth, and in the course of the most recent couple of weeks I have dove into the universe of music production and sales. 

Different genres get paid from various sources, and the core currency unit of the genre switches all the time, from the single in pop music, to the live show in punk to the set in the world of professional DJing. For young up and coming rappers the core currency unit is the verse.

So let’s explore where 21 Savage came from, and how he made his fortune.

 How Did 21 Savage Make His Money & Wealth?
  

21 Savage was born Shayaa Bin Abraham-Joseph on October 22 1992. He is originally from Dominica, though he grew up in and around Atlanta, Georgia. It is still very early in his career, and as a result he has yet to release a full album. He is well known instead for his mixtapes. It is very common these days for young Hip Hop artists and Trap artist to focus on mixtapes rather than albums. Many Mixtapes don’t even rely all that heavily on samples, making them very similar to EPs in many ways.

21 Savages debut single, Picky. The track is indicative of the style, punchy and confrontational, and stylistically interesting. It would be featured on his debut mixtape in 2015, The Slaughter Tape. Mixtapes tend to be free though, so where is 21 Savage making his cash? The answer is the same as where all young rapper make their cash. Selling verse.

There is a kind of ecosystem out there in the world of Trap and about to burst into the big time rap scene. Everyone appears on each others tracks, increasing exposure, and selling a verse in their song. The featured artist tends to make a decent amount of money too. As the fame of the rappers grows, so too does the price they charge per verse. 

Last year Lil Yachty was reportedly charging upwards of $3,000 for a verse, and seen as 21 Savage is getting fairly popular, it would not surprise me to hear of him charging similarly, if not more, for a brief run on the mic.

There are other sources of income to consider as well. 21 Savage has dabbled in producing. though mostly with his own material. The sale of singles has been a money spinner for the artist, as is the sale of his EPs. His collaborative EP with Metro Boomin, who I will be taking a look at later in the week, peaked at number 44 in the Billboard chart, his highest charting performance to date. It will be interesting to watch his career grow.
