Rae Sremmurd

Hailing from Tupelo, Mississippi, Rae Sremmurd is a hip-hop duo comprised of brothers Swae Lee and Slim Jxmmi. Their nameā€”which is ā€œEar Drummersā€ spelled backwardsā€”is a reference to EarDrummers Entertainment, the label of producer Mike WiLL Made-It.

Rae Sremmurd rose to prominence in early 2014 with their breakout single ā€œNo Flex Zone,ā€ which became a top 40 hit. Their follow-up ā€œNo Typeā€ was even more successful, peaking at #16 on Billboardā€™s Hot 100. The groupā€™s debut album SremmLife was released in January 2015.

The groupā€™s second album SremmLife 2 was released in summer 2016. After initially struggling to recapture the success of their debut, the groupā€™s single ā€œBlack Beatlesā€ shot to #1 on the Hot 100 thanks to its placement in the viral ā€œMannequin Challengeā€ meme.
