21 Savage's debut studio album, Issa Album (2017), peaked at number two on the U.S. Billboard 200 and its lead single "Bank Account" reached number 12 on The Hot 100. He then released the collaborative album Without Warning (2017) with Offset and Metro Boomin, with the song "Ric Flair Drip" peaking at number 13 on the Hot 100. 21 Savage featured on Post Malone's 2017 single "Rockstar", which reached number one on the Hot 100 and nominated for Record of the Year and Best Rap/Sung Performance at the 2019 Grammy Awards. His second album, i am > i was (2018), became his first U.S. number one album and spawned the hit song "A Lot" (featuring J. Cole), which won Best Rap Song at the 2020 Grammy Awards.
21 Savage was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on February 3, 2019. Officials revealed his status as a British citizen who entered the U.S. in July 2005 and unlawfully overstayed a H-4 visa that expired in 2006. He was granted bond on February 12 and released the next day, pending the outcome of an expedited deportation hearing, which was initially scheduled for April 9, but was later postponed indefinitely, with 21 Savage's lawyers stating he was legally residing in The U.S. for several years prior to the 2005 H-4 visa. 21 Savage's highly anticipated third album, Savage Mode II (2020), a sequel collaboration with Metro Boomin to their 2016 EP, debuted atop the Billboard 200, and spawned the U.S. top 10 singles "Runnin" and "Mr. Right Now" (featuring Drake).
On November 4th, 2022, 21 Savage would release "Her Loss", a collab album with Drake. It debuted at No.1 on the US Billboard 200. All 16 of its songs debuted on the Hot 100.

In "Slime" by 21 Savage, the lyrics depict an image of a group of gang members, who are referred to as "slime," that will do anything to get their money. They are willing to use violence and take extreme measures to ensure their success. When 21 Savage says "He Gotta hunned, we slime," he is saying that if someone has money, they can join the slime. The lyrics also talk about how the word "slime" is used as a symbol of power and status in their community. The line "Have you ever seen a slime?" shows that it is rare to see someone who is truly slime, further emphasizing its exclusivity.
The chorus repeats the phrase "we slime" and "y'all niggas not slime," indicating that the slang term has a specific, narrow definition in their community. The verse continues with references to guns and violence, including the line "Everything that I say, a young nigga gon' spray," which shows that they are not afraid to use violence to get what they want. The last line of the verse, "A lot of mommas start cryin'," is a reflection of the consequences of their actions and the violence that comes with it.
Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of a group of individuals who operate outside of the law and use violence to achieve their goals. The slang term "slime" is used to distinguish them from others and signifies their power and status in their community.
