Shaya Bin Abraham-joseph

21 Savage is a godsend for the music world. For several years of active creativity, he managed to become famous far beyond the borders of the United States, and a joint track with Post Malone "Rockstar" took the rapper to the top of the charts. The glory that has fallen on the guy from the slums still does not help to forget the tragic moments of his criminal youth, so the songs of 21 Savage are mostly dark, but attractive.

Shia Bin Abraham-Jofez (real name 21 Savage) was born on October 22, 1992 in Atlanta, Georgia. Mother Heather, a Dominican by birth, single-handedly raised 11 children: Shayu, 4 more sons and 6 daughters. One of the sisters died in a shootout between drug dealers, and a brother in an attempted robbery.

Lack of parental attention, homelessness, and the surrounding criminality brought up Abraham-Joseph as a "difficult" child. By the 7th grade, all educational institutions in DeKalb County closed their doors to the teenager: according to the directors, Shia threatened the health of classmates because he always carried a weapon.

The mother put her son in school in the Atlanta metropolitan area. Here Shaya's "dark" side prevailed and he began to trade in marijuana. At the age of 13, the teenager ended up in an educational colony. The arrest did not convince Abraham Joseph to take the right path. After his release from the colony, he dropped out of school and became closely involved in the distribution of soft drugs. As part of the Bloods street gang, the teenager participated in robberies, car thefts. Once he was arrested for transporting contraband weapons.

In 2011, Shaya's best friend, his "right hand" Larry, was killed in a shootout with police. 2 years later, on the day of the rapper's 21st birthday, the gang again came under sights. Abraham Joseph was shot 6 times, one bullet hit the neck, hitting a nerve. The young man almost died from blood loss. As a result of the skirmish, five of Shia's friends died, including his close friend Johnny.

A series of gloomy events in his biography made the American think about the meaning of life. Music became the means of salvation.

The rapper's creative pseudonym was formed from the number 21 - the age when Shia lost his close comrades, and the word “savage”, which came from nowhere, so that the nickname on Instagram would look beautiful, ”the musician himself once explained. The money for the promotion of the project was given by the uncle of one of the friends who died in the shootout. There were enough funds to create the debut studio recording.

The track "Picky", produced by DJ Plugg, was released in November 2014. He later topped the mixtape "The Slaughter Tape" (2015). With music videos that accompanied some of the songs from this compilation ("Skrtt Skrtt", "Million Dollar Liq" and "Whoa"), 21 Savage clearly demonstrated what his life was like before he was created. Having already become famous, the rapper said in an interview:

In July 2015, Shia recorded the compilation "Free Guwop" with Sonny Digital. It is dedicated to the ideological inspirer of the young musician - rapper Gucci Mane. At the end of the year, 21 Savage's second solo mixtape "Slaughter King" was released. The famous American producers Metro Boomin and Zaytoven became interested in the creation of the disc. They still support the rapper.

2016 brought 21 Savage the title of "Breakthrough of the Year" according to XXL magazine, and in July the rapper confirmed the status: he released together with Metro Boomin the album "Savage Mode", which reached 23rd place on the Billboard 200 and entered the top 40 best rap albums of 2016 according to Rolling Stone magazine. Single "X" went platinum in the United States.

A year later, 21 Savage's debut studio album, "Issa Album", was released, which entered the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100. The single "Bank Account" was a resounding success in the music world, reaching # 2 on the Billboard 200. The surge in popularity prompted performer to give several concerts, mainly in his native Atlanta.

The most famous track of 2017 was a collaboration with Post Malone called "Rockstar", which peaked at # 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, topped the charts in Australia, Canada, Portugal, Ireland, New Zealand, UK, Denmark and other countries.

The song has two versions of the video. Initially, the filmed video contained footage of smoking marijuana, and the performers decided that the TV channels would not let this on air. In the official video, Post Malone and 21 Savage fight a gang of samurai.

In 2018, the rapper devoted himself to creative duets. In April, Young Thug invited him, Nicki Minaj and Lil Uzi Vert to record the track "Hear No Evil" together, in May Shia read out "Outstanding" with SahBabii.

Towards the end of 2018, 21 Savage released their second studio album, "I Am> I Was", featuring Post Malone, Childish Gambino, Lil Baby and others. The release was preceded by a video for the song "Immortal", which served as a soundtrack for the game "Mortal Kombat 11".

In the summer of 2017, Shia began dating model Amber Rose, who publicly swore her love for him by posting happy photos on Instagram, and confused the press with engagement rumors. The couple's personal life turned out to be not so cloudless - in March 2018, the young people broke up.

The rapper is the father of three children, however, who their mother is and whether he had a wife is unknown.

In 2018, 21 Savage founded the Guns Down, Paintballs Up movement, which aims to reduce gun crime. It is said to be linked to several property cases and murders. The rapper did not comment on the allegations, but paid for the funeral of a 3-year-old child who was accidentally killed in the presence of members of "Guns Down, Paintballs Up".

Shia is a tattoo fan. Drawings cover his left arm and chest, and the ink on his face is especially noticeable. The first to appear was "21" at the temple. He filled it at the time when Larry's best friend was alive, and after his death, he “edged” the number with the words “Rest in Peace, Larry”. Further on the forehead appeared the phrase "Death before dishonor", and on the right temple - "Boy from the district." A dagger flaunts between the eyebrows - in memory of Johnny's deceased friend.

The rapper's body became a memorial to those close to him who left the world: Larry and his mother, who died in the same shootout, the names of two sisters, a brother. After the end of the "I Am> I Was" tour, 21 Savage plans to immortalize them with portraits on their backs.

Shia's right arm is virtually tattooless. Even before the case when the rapper was hit by 6 bullets, holes from the shots were depicted on the forearm. It was in these places that the real bullets hit. Now the young man has a damaged nerve, and getting fresh tattoos on his right arm is too painful.

After the end of the "I Am> I Was" tour, Shia plans to release a concert film "Issa Movie", as well as win a Grammy award - in 2019 it will be nominated for "Best Rap Artist" and "Best Record of the Year". The rapper has not yet spread about further creative plans.
