21 Savage dropped new album Savage Mode II on fans today – with some added narrations from all-round legend Morgan Freeman.

And it is everything we never knew we needed.

The Shawshank Redemption actor – who also appeared in the album teaser – kicked off the A Lot rapper’s latest offering by lending his dulcet tones to the intro.

The Oscar winner began: ‘Great men with great ideals can be separated by hundreds or even thousands of miles, and still be in the same place.

‘They can be years or even generations apart in age, and yet somehow find themselves on the exact same page.’

He also narrated an epic interlude, discussing the differences between snitches and rats – and giving us all goosebumps in the process.

‘Snitches and rats are not the same thing, let me break it down and make sure y’all see what I mean,’ the 83-year-old said.

‘The difference is… at least a snitch is human. But a rat is a f**king rat. Period.’

Morgan Freeman has always been – and forever will be – a total mood.

And fans definitely agreed, branding his appearance one of the ‘greatest things to happen to music’.

Flocking to Twitter, one celebrated: ‘Bro 21 Savage and Morgan Freeman is the duo I never knew I needed.’

‘Morgan Freeman narrating this 21 Savage album is the best thing to happen this year,’ another replied. ‘“A rat is a f**king rat”.’

‘Ooooooohhhhh kayyyyyyyy……,’ a follower said. ‘Morgan freeman hyping me up I’m getting goosebumps!!!!!!!’

‘Morgan Freeman on this new 21 Savage is everything,’ a Twitter user commented.

While a fan suggested: ‘Now that Morgan Freeman has narrated a trap album, imma need 21 Savage narrating March of the Penguins [sic].’

Over to you, 21 Savage…

The star – real name Shéyaa Bin Abraham-Joseph – also included collaborations with Drake and Young Thug on his new album, but the Dark Knight star definitely stole the show.

Morgan previously sent fans into a spin when he narrated the star’s album teaser – which was released this week.

In the very brief clip, the Dark Knight star stated: ‘Savage is defined as fierce, beastly, and untamed. Mode is defined as a way of operating or using a system.

‘So to be in savage mode is to go hard, not allowing anything to stop or deter you from your mission.

‘Basically, this means when someone’s in savage mode, they are not to be f**ked with.

‘I now present to you… Savage Mode II.’
