The show featured 15 original artworks created by Slawn and Savage, anchored by the album\u2019s cover art. Inspired by Kerry James Marshall<\/a>\u2019s 1980 work, \u201cA Portrait of the Artist as a Shadow of His Former Self,\u201d the painting figures a similarly shadowy, hatted figure defined by striking eyes and a gap-toothed smile, while emblazoned with Slawn\u2019s cartoonish spray treatment and Savage\u2019s iconic knife tattoo.\n<\/p>\n Also debuting were eight portraits, each depicting a collaborator on the album: Drake, Latto, G Herbo, Lil Baby, Jawan Harris, GloRilla, Metro Boomin and Young Nudy. Rounding out the show were four additional paintings figured in the project\u2019s 4-CD cover art series, a limited, 2,100-print run.\n<\/p>\n 1 of 10<\/p>\n John Cannon \/ Gifted Talents.

The knife-pierced piece, inspired by the album artwork, made its way around the city\u2019s biggest fairs and institutions, before making its final stop in Atlanta.\n<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve done a number of album covers, this one felt really special to me, not just cause I\u2019m a huge fan of 21 Savage, but the whole process of being able to create with freedom,\u201d Slawn wrote<\/a> in a recent Instagram post.\n<\/p>\n Coming off a cryptic, cinematic rollout of teasers and, now, an official museum show under his belt, it\u2019s safe to say that What Happened to the Streets? marks both a musical and artistic milestone for the rapper.<\/p>\n ![\"21](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/https:\/\/hypebeast.com\/image\/2025\/12\/13\/slawn-21-savage-what-happened-to-the-streets-exhibition-high-.jpeg\")
