For all the controversy and discussion surrounding Swae Lee and Slim Jxmmi–better known as Rae Sremmurd–and their songwriting ability or public affection habits, there’s one thing about the Tupelo, Mississippi duo that’s undeniable: hits.
Since a breakthrough 2014 that included their two breakout hits, “No Flex Zone” and “No Type,” and a more-than-sufficient third act, the Nicki Minaj and Young Thug-featured “Throw Sum Mo’,” Sremmurd has catapulted themselves into a rarefied air. A dwindling class of artists that can produce both profuse radio success and critically-acclaimed LPs. Now that their Interscope debut, SremmLife, has successfully made its rounds, Swae and Slim have returned with their producer extraordinaire, Mike Will Made-It, for an encore: SremmLife 2.
The new LP is light on features, with big-name contributions coming from just Gucci Mane, Kodak Black and Lil Jon, and heavy on face-crunching production and high-octane choruses, which their infectious singles, “By Chance” and “Look Alive,” alluded to.
