The album is going to be number one, two weeks in a row. Furthermore, he has seen a few of his tracks reach the top 100, which is a massive accomplishment. Needless to say, he career is thriving.

Prior to the release of the album, the artist teased a movie with the album's namesake. The film would feature Donald Glover who would play the role of 21. When the trailer for the movie came out, there were lots of fans out there who were confused. They felt like the casting was pretty awful and the acting was bad. Not to mention, it just seemed like a ridiculous concept. Well, fans can now rest easy as it was revealed by the artist that this movie is not coming out. Instead, it was just a fake trailer to help promote the album.
