Another week, another look into the personal lives of the rich and famous. Or in this case, the young and up and coming, that was more of a mouthful than I intended. 21 Savage looks set to be a big star in the Hip Hop scene, like a fair number of other folks I have looked at this last while. He’s listed as a trap artist, and while I’m not all that familiar with the conventions of the genre, I have to say, I enjoy his music. Not much I can personally relate to, but stylistically it’s very well put together. The crux of this article is about how much they are worth, and where they got their wealth, and over the last few weeks I have dove into the world of music production and sales. Different genres get paid from different sources, and the core currency unit of the genre switches all the time, from the single in pop music, to the live show in punk to the set in the world of professional DJing. For young up and coming rappers the core currency unit is the verse.
So let’s see where 21 Savage came from, and how he made his fortune.

How Did 21 Savage Make His Money & Wealth?
There is a kind of ecosystem out there in the world of Trap and about to burst into the big time rap scene. Everyone appears on each others tracks, increasing exposure, and selling a verse in their song. The featured artist tends to make a decent amount of money too. As the fame of the rappers grows, so too does the price they charge per verse. Last year Lil Yachty was reportedly charging upwards of $3,000 for a verse, and seen as 21 Savage is getting fairly popular, it would not surprise me to hear of him charging similarly, if not more, for a brief run on the mic.
There are other sources of income to consider as well. 21 Savage has dabbled in producing. though mostly with his own material. The sale of singles has been a money spinner for the artist, as is the sale of his EPs. His collaborative EP with Metro Boomin, who I will be taking a look at later in the week, peaked at number 44 in the Billboard chart, his highest charting performance to date. It will be interesting to watch his career grow.
