21 Savage’s ‘Spiral’ soundtrack is bloody good
Sav’s newest project isn’t just a compilation of fire tunes. Instead, the rap heavyweight curated the tracklisting and songs based off the new horror movie’s themes.
Unlike typical artist and film score/soundtrack collaborations, 21 Savage’s meticulous approach to crafting the soundscape for this movie makes his involvement quite unique. He based all his musical and producer decisions around specific triggers from the film, which he spent significant time with prior to its release; combing through the score as a library of samples to be shaped into the music for the soundtrack, which makes this a truly authentic collaboration. “When I make albums, the visuals come after the music is done. But on this movie, the visuals come first,” says the Grammy winner. “It was different, making something based on a visual, trying to bring the visuals to life in music.”
Savage also gives ample attention to his protégés from Slaughterhouse Gang.
On the subsequent “You Ain’t Hard,” a solo Young Nudy cut, and “Down Bad,” featuring a handful of Slaughterhouse Gang upstarts (Real Recognize Rio, 21 Lil Harold, SG Tip)—and an eerie guest performance from Millie Go Lightly—Savage flexes his executive production muscle, rounding out the soundtrack with upstart Atlanta talent and merging it with the London-born Go Lightly, known for collaborating previously with Atlanta talent, specifically Young Thug.

21 Savage’s Spiral Single
Earlier this month, Savage’s first anthem since putting out his chart-topping Savage Mode II album with Metro Boomin – “Spiral” – came with blood-filled scenes and hard bars reflecting the horror movie’s theme. There’s also cut scenes showing film stars Chris Rock and Samuel L. Jackson.
Cutting deeper than ever before, GRAMMY® Award-winning multi-platinum rapper 21 Savage unleashes “Spiral,” produced by Slaughter Gang’s own Kid Hazel, as the first single off Spiral: From The Book Of SAW Original Soundtrack. The highly anticipated suspense-thriller from the Saw universe and the first blockbuster release of the season, Spiral: From the Book of Saw, opens on Friday, May 14, and the Soundtrack—which 21 Savage executive produced—hits the same day. This marks 21 Savage’s first new music since the gold-certified critically exalted #1 opus Savage Mode II with Metro Boomin.
