21 Savage is no longer an independent artist after signing with Epic Records. The 24-year old Atlanta native's buzz has been building for quite some time, so it's understandable why Epic's CEO. L.A. Reid would want to add him to the label's roster.
During a Rap Radar Podcast interview on Wednesday, January 18, 21 talked about why he felt comfortable with Reid.

"Because he's black," the "No Heart" rapper explained. "He’s probably the last black CEO. Why not? He’ll understand me before anyone else. I ain't wanna just sign on some straight business shit. I wanted to sign to somebody who gon' believe in me. Like, who gon' understand me."
Back in October of 2016, there were rumors that 21 might sign to OVO Sound after Drake bought him a Ferrari for his birthday. That deal never materialized, but the two remain close.
"[Drake] don't gotta do nothing that he did. That's why I take that as deeper than the rap," 21 said of his relationship with Drizzy. "I been talking to him before Savage Mode. Before all this shit. So, it ain't like he just jumped on when I was hot. We been fucking with each other."
