21 Savage And d4vd Embrace The Villain Role In ‘Call Me Revenge,’ Their Collaborative ‘Call Of Duty’ Single

d4vd might have tipped Uproxx off to “Call Me Revenge,” his collaborative single with 21 Savage for Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare III.

“I want to leak too much, but I literally just left a meeting about gaming,” d4vd told Uproxx’s Wongo Okon in an interview published on September 8. “I’m working a lot on Fortnite stuff, the new Fortnite season is dropping, and everybody’s on the game again. Gaming is going back on the radar. Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare III is dropping. I’m working hand in hand and being more in the gaming space and telling a story because that’s where I came from. I’m more of a gamer than a musician; it’s telling that story even more. I’m working on scoring and a lot of soundtracking, too.”

21’s “Call Me Revenge” featuring d4vd hit streaming services on Thursday, October 19. Per press release, it marks 21 Savage’s first original material as a solo artist since 2020’s “Secret” with Summer Walker.

“21 Savage will also star in an upcoming Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare III trailer, and Call Of Duty players can access 21 Savage as an operator in the game now and carry over the playable skin and their progress from Modern Warfare II to Modern Warfare III when it launches on November 10,” the release states. You can pre-order the game here.

In “Call Me Revenge,” d4vd’s smooth vocal runs perfectly complement 21 Savage’s confident flow about loyalty (“Keep my enemies closer / Than I keep my friends / Gotta get my payback / Been on that since way back”) and resiliency (“You gon’ shed blood if you made me shed tears”).

While it’s been three-and-a-half years since 21 dropped “Secret,” he hasn’t fallen off in the slightest — dropping joint albums Savage Mode II with Metro Boomin and Her Loss with Drake. Each project hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Meanwhile, d4vd has released two 2023 EPs, Petals To Thorns and The Lost Petals, and is opening on the second leg of SZA’s SOS Tour.

Below, listen to “Call Me Revenge,” see its cover art, and check out 21 Savage’s upcoming European and UK tour dates.

21 Savage Teams Up With d4vd For “Call Of Duty” Track “Call Me Revenge”

Over the last few years, we haven’t gotten a ton of 21 Savage singles. Instead, he has mostly remained lowkey and collaborative. From Savage Mode 2 to Her Loss, 21 has been dealing with some of his best friends in the industry. However, he hasn’t given us a true solo effort since 2019’s I Am > I Was. With the artist heading on a short tour of Europe, there is this sense that some new music could be dropping very soon.

Well, it seems like the wait is over. Today, the artist dropped off a song called “Call Me Revenge” which also features the likes of d4vd. The song doesn’t appear to be a true lead single for an album. Instead, it is a tie-in to the upcoming video game, Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. The artist has a new Warzone character, so it was only a matter of time before he wrote a track for the game. Below, you can listen to what he cooked up.

21 Savage x d4vd

Overall, you can very much tell that this is supposed to be in a game. From the glossy and theatrical d4vd vocals and the Ryan Tedder production, this screams “pop culture crossover.” However, that doesn’t mean it’s bad. In fact, it does sound great, especially with 21’s verse taking up the bulk of the song. This is a track that will definitely add some flare to the upcoming video game.

Hopefully, we get some more new music from 21 Savage, very soon. In the meantime, let us know what you think of this new song, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will be sure to keep you informed of all of the biggest releases from the biggest artists.

Quotable Lyrics:

I’m with the squad forever (Yeah)
When it comes to winnin’, we better (On God)
The team loyal to me (21)
Through it all, we stand together (21)
If he fall, better pick him up (Fast)
Go down, better get back up (Straight Up)

“Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3” Multiplayer Trailer Features Eminem Needle Drop

The new Call of Duty game is a month away and Activision made sure to hype the game’s multiplayer feature with an Eminem needle drop. The Detroit rapper’s 2002 hit “Till I Collapse” can be heard over a cinematic trailer showcasing the ultra-cinematic violence of the game’s multiplayer mode. Furthermore, the trailer also confirms the news that a host of iconic maps from the original Modern Warfare trilogy will be returning for this new Modern Warfare 3. It’s not the rapper’s first Call Of Duty collab. Back in 2013, he released the track Survival for Call Of Duty: Ghosts.

While old maps and fan-favorite modes are returning, Activision is trying a few new things with Modern Warfare III. One of the biggest additions will be Cutthroat, a 3v3v3 mode that is briefly featured and highlighted in the trailer. The new features will likely be highlighted in more detail at the October 5 multiplayer preview event. Meanwhile, the game will be released on November 10. Activision has previously confirmed that cosmetics and other purchases from Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0 will carry over to the new game.

Pusha T Scores Call Of Duty Campaign Trailer

However, Eminem is not the only rapper whose music Activision has utilized. The devs also used Pusha T for an August trailer promoting the game’s campaign. The teaser follows big bad Makarov being escorted through prison to receive a new tattoo. Meanwhile, Soap gives one of his usual sonorous monologues about stopping evil. This is overlaid with footage of some of the game’s more iconic moments – a terror attack in London, Makarov bringing down a plane carrying the President of Russia.

A majority of the trailer is scored to Colonel Bagshot’s 1971 single “Six Day War”. However, right at the end, as Makarov looks to the camera, there is an amazing Pusha T needle drop. Pusha sampled “Six Day War” on “Just So You Remember” last year and it’s that intense line (My Joker smile, you know who the villain is/Just so you remember who you dealin’ with…) that hear right at the end of the video. Furthermore, Pusha shared the video to his Instagram with the lyrics in the caption.

Pusha T Needle Drop Hypes “Modern Warfare III” Trailer

Activision are continuing their trend of revitalizing their storied Call of Duty franchise with another remake. The remake of Modern Warfare III, originally released in 2011, will drop in November. The move to modernize some of the best-regarded titles in the long-running franchise has been well-received by many fans. Former Call of Duty pro, and founder of esports org 100 Thieves, Christopher “Nadeshot” Haag said that news of the game so far appears to indicate that Sledgehammer, the studio behind MW3 is “giving us everything we’ve been asking for.”

Modern Warfare III picks up immediately after Modern Warfare II. Soap, Price, and Nikolai are on the run after the murder of Lieutenant General Shepard. Of course, it doesn’t appear to matter that Shepard had just detonated a nuke, that’s just geopolitics for you. Most of the game is spent playing Yuri, a former Spetznaz operator who joins Price in his hunt for Russian ultranationalist Vladimir Makarov. Activision has since dropped a teaser for the game, including some absolute choice music.

“Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3” Teaser Revealed: Watch

One of the biggest video game franchises in the entire world is Call Of Duty. Every single year, Activision releases a new version of the game for fans to enjoy. Although each game ends up being hit with similar criticisms, fans continue buying them. Over the past few years, we have seen a reboot of the Modern Warfare series. Unfortunately, this has led to confusion over the titles as they contain the same words as the games from a decade ago. Moreover, people prefer the OGs by a long shot.

Last year, we ended up getting Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Ultimately, some felt like the game was a disappointment. The OG MW2 is iconic for numerous reasons. Consequently, it was always going to be a tough task for Activision to produce a game that really lived up to the expectations. That said, we are now about to enter the Fall in a month from now, which means a new COD is on the horizon. As it turns out, that game will just so happen to be Modern Warfare 3.
