Rae Sremmurd have proved that they can make hit records. Arguably their biggest hit-to-date is “No Flex Zone.” Well, that was until they struck gold with another Mike WiLL Made-It-produced track. “Black Beatles” appears on the group’s [Swae Lee, Slim Jimmi] sophomore album, SremmLife 2. Featuring a stellar production from Mike WiLL, the two accelerate on the gas pedal with a Gucci Mane feature. It was enough to take their track to the top of the Billboard Hot 100.
Not only was it the song’s appeal, a little help from a fellow Beatle doesn’t hurt the prosperity of the song. Getting in on the Mannequin challenge, Paul McCartney got in on the action, showing off his still-life abilities. The song has also been popularized by Hilary Clinton.
The hit peaked on the 100 chart at no.9, but then quickly jumped into the no. 1 position. It’s a placement that neither Gucci Mane nor Rae Sremmurd has seen on this specific chart. With that being said, it just goes to show how vital Hip Hop is today.
“Black Beatles” chased down The Chainsmokers’ “Closer” track, bumping it out of the number one spot.
