A 21 Savage song is going viral on social media thanks to a crafty music lover who blended the Atlanta rapper's 2018 song with a classic tune from the classic rock band The Grateful Dead.
In 2020, Soundcloud user Shall1 created his mashup of 21 Savage's track "10 Freaky Girls" (from Metro Boomin's 2018 compilation album Not All Heroes Wear Capes) with The Grateful Dead's 1980 song "Althea" called "TFG" and posted it on his Soundcloud account. Initially, the New Jersey music lover's mashup was a fan favorite on Soundcloud before it spread to other social-networking platforms like YouTube and Twitter.
However, the 21 Savage/Grateful Dead mashup became a viral hit on TikTok after fans reshared user @isaac_huber17's December 2021 video of himself skiing in the snowy mountains with "TFG" as its soundtrack. Watch it below.

On Twitter, the mashup track is beloved by both 21 Savage and the Grateful Dead fans (aka Dead Heads).
"I just came across a tiktok with a 21 savage verse set to althea by the grateful dead. Some things you don't know you never thought you would see until you see them," tweeted one person.
"Whoever made that 21 savage x grateful dead mix is an actual genius," wrote one fan.
According to Shall1's sister, @babytofu222 on TikTok, her brother made the mashup on her "old-ass MacBook" and is a fan of The Grateful Dead. "[B]tw he luvs the dead, it’s no disrespect! [J]ust a funky funny mix," she wrote in the comment section.

Overall, the 21 Savage and The Grateful Dead mashup song "TFG" is a vibe.
