He followed up with his debut album Issa Album and collaborative studio album with Offset and Metro Boomin Without Warning in 2017 – both peaking at No. 2 and No. 4 on the Billboard 200. 21 Savage released his third studio album I Am > I Was in 2018, which was his first No. 1 album. It contained his hit single “A Lot” featuring J. Cole, which earned 21 Savage his very first grammy.
