The follow up to 21 Savage and Metro Boomin’s critically acclaimed “Savage Mode”  is on the way. The original mixtape was released in 2016, and now it appears that a sequel is in the works three years later. 21 Savage brought Metro Boomin out during a Los Angeles concert over the weekend, and before leaving the stage, he revealed that “Savage Mode 2” is coming soon. 2016’s “Savage Mode” contained the tracks “No Heart” and “X.” The project has been certified gold by the RIAA. The two have collaborated previously, so the forthcoming album should be worth the wait.
