The 21 Best 21 Savage Features

"I jump on your song and make you sound like you the feature," raps 21 Savage on “On BS,” a cut from Her Loss — his new collab album with Drake. He ain’t capping. Most of the best 21 Savage features feature the ATL-bred rapper outshining his counterparts. In addition to an impressive catalog of his own records, 21 Savage has some of the best guest appearances in the game.

This year alone, the Grammy Award winner has collaborated with some of the top artists out. He’s laid down attention-grabbing verses alongside Nas, Calvin Harris, Latto, Pharrell Williams, Shenseea, DJ Khaled, YG and others. Most recently, 21 can be heard on Metro Boomin’s latest album, Heroes & Villains. The rap star with more than 49 million monthly Spotify listeners delivered verses for several tracks from the super-producer’s latest release. 

Since he first landed on the scene, 21 has been proving that he can hold his own against just about anybody. 21’s numerous collaborations have shown that he is far from a one-dimensional artist. They have also proven that he is a certified hit-maker.

Cardi B is one of the most well-known female rappers in the game right now, and while she was ascending rapidly, she enlisted the help of 21 Savage for her song “Bartier Cardi.”

G.O.O.D. Music artist Big Sean has had a storied career, and in recent years, when he needed the right sort of buzz around his music, he knew it’d be a smart move to get 21 Savage on a song, “Pull Up N Wreck.” With Metro Boomin on the beat, how could they miss?

Childish Gambino has always had a wise sense of feature choices, and with his song “12.38,” once again, he didn’t miss. Who would have thought that a Childish Gambino and 21 Savage song would hit this hard? The song also features the likes of Ink and Kadhja Bonet.

As made apparent by their other collaborations, especially their latest collaborative album, Her Loss, 21 Savage and Drake have formed somewhat of a rap dream team in the past few years. "Knife Talk" was the start of something special, and the duo have only continued to improve their already-impressive levels of chemistry, and thus the records have only gotten better and better.

Young Thug makes bangers even when it's just him recording. On this record in particular, he enlisted DoeBoy and 21Savage's help, and the result is exactly what you'd expect from any of them, let alone all together: it's heat. Once again on "I'm Scared", 21 Savage had proven just how meaningful his features are.

The fact that this song is so high on the list is a statement about 21's other work. "Yessirskiii" by Lil Uzi Vert and 21 Savage might've been the best on the album, which says a lot, too. This song will never get old, and you can bank on that for the remainder of our list as well. Somehow, it only gets better from here.

Everybody remembers their first time hearing "Who Want Smoke??" by Nardo Wick, right? Well, the remix somehow found a way to turns thing up a notch, which the world thought of as impossible at the time. Thanks to the likes of G Herbo, Lil Durk, and 21 Savage, this tasteful remix of "Who Want Smoke??" kept the same energy as the original and prolonged the initial buzz that Nardo Wick would have upon his entrance into hip-hop.

Yet another Young Nudy and 21 Savage appearance on our list, "Mister" is arguably their best song together, while it does have noteworthy competition. Featured on Nudy's Sli'merre project with Pi'erre Bourne, 21 Savage did what he does best once again. Check out this gem for yourself.

One step closer to their collaborative album, Her Loss, "Jimmy Cooks" confirmed what everybody already knew: when you mix Drake and 21 Savage, the result is some unbelievable music. This was likely the moment they knew that a project was imminent. Who can blame them when they were on such an iconic roll? At number two on our list, you might be wondering what could possibly top this song off of Drake's Honestly, Nevermind.

At the number one spot on our list is the remix to the legendary single from Tay-K, "The Race," which he recorded after cutting his ankle bracelet off while on house arrest and travelling across the country as a fugitive. 21 Savage joins Young Nudy in this SoundCloud era classic, which was premiered by DJ Phat on SoundCloud.
