Posted by 21 Savage hasn’t dropped an album in 2021, but he’s been prolific when it comes to features. On Monday (December 20), Spotify’s RapCaviar took to Twitter to ask followers for their favorite appearance from the Atlanta rapper over the course of the last 12 months, while suggesting some of his biggest tracks.
The graphic posted mentions Drake’s “Knife Talk,” J. Cole’s “My Life,” Pop Smoke’s “Bout a Million,” DJ Khaled’s “Let It Go,” YBN Nahmir’s “Opp Stoppa,” DaBaby’s “Sticked Up,” Nardo Wick’s “Who Want Smoke??,” Roddy Ricch’s “Hibachi,” Rick Ross’ “Outlawz,” Pooh Shiesty’s “Box of Churches” and G Herbo’s “T.O.P.”
But 21 Savage had a different song in mind. He responded to the tweet with his own pick: Young Nudy’s “Child’s Play.”

The Coupe-produced song appears on Young Nudy’s DR. EV4L album, which arrived in May with other features from Lil Uzi Vert and G Herbo.
“Big 4L, pussy, spray the block down, turn the car ’round,” 21 raps in his verse. “When we come around, shells on the ground/Strip a n-gga, now his pants on the ground/Wrong move leave your mans on the ground.”
