Background
Rumors that Savage was planning to release a new album began on December 5, 2025, when an inflatable art piece in collaboration with British-Nigerian artist Olaolu Slawn was installed at an Art Basel fair in Miami Beach, Florida, with the album's acronym WHTTS, along with a pre-save link.[2] Two days later, Savage tweeted that he would be releasing something five days later with the word: "Friday".[3] The following day, he posted a trailer video, which features a person walking down an alley with gunmen looking for them and ending with the album's announcement.[4] Its cover art, also designed by Slawn, was revealed when its pre-order was made available on Apple Music on the same day, revealing that it would have 14 tracks.[5] The album's full tracklist would be revealed on December 11.[6]

Critical reception
Reviewing the album for Clash magazine, Robin Murray wrote that What Happened to the Streets? "never quite lands, opting for atmosphere over definition", as well as "provides more questions than answers, and beneath the brash moments leaves you wondering about the rapper's longevity". Murray criticized the sampling of R. Kelly in the closer, "I Wish".[7]
