Today's Shelf Pull: 21 Savage & Metro Boomin, Savage Mode II

Theatre With Its Blade Out

Today's Shelf Pull: 21 Savage & Metro Boomin, Savage Mode. Read Eamon’s note on the music, sleeve and the Kilmorna shelf in Listowel.

Some sleeves do not so much sit on the counter as start arranging the lighting.

Savage Mode II arrives with a gold border, red sky, dice, cars, palm trees, two watchful faces and a blade standing in the centre like the record has brought its own stage prop.

21 Savage & Metro Boomin are on the shelf today, and the cover is doing what a good rap sleeve often does. It makes the world of the record visible before anyone has touched the turntable.

Good. A Saturday can use a little theatre, provided the theatre knows its lines.
