New York, NY (Top40 Charts) On the day his third solo LP, american dream, arrives, 21 Savage keeps his foot on the gas with the release of the album's first music video, for the London On Da Track-produced "redrum." The video, directed by British director Danny Seth, is set in Savage's hometown of Brixton in London, UK during Savage's homecoming trip in December. The trip marked the first time Savage was able to return to the UK since he was 12 years old.

The video begins with a satirical account of what many consider to be "the real London": Big Ben, vintage red telephone booths and buggy cabs. The narrator cheekily suggests that "redrum" is the real London, and 21 Savage's presence is immediately felt as Brixton youth flank the rapper and rally their support, from packed out balconies to bike convoys. London welcomes its native son back with open arms.
