Rae Sremmurd (Band)

Biography:

Slim Jxmmi and Swae Lee were born in California, but moved to Tupelo, Mississippi at an early age, where they were raised in the notorious Ida Street housing projects, some of the worst, most crime-ridden in the state. Making matters worse, Sremmurd’s parents split while the brothers were still young, a devastating turn of events that found the brothers, over multiple stretches, seeking shelter in abandoned homes throughout the area. Music became a way for Jxmmi and Lee to escape the desperation of their surroundings.

The movement started locally, with the brothers throwing parties and shows around town often in the same abandoned buildings where they once stayed. The pair always had larger ambitions, though, and so the brothers, natural performers since elementary school, taught themselves how to record, make beats, and DJ, building enough buzz to earn an appearance on the popular “Wild Out Wednesdays” segment during BET’s 106th & Park. Back home, Lee and Jxmmi earned the attention of Mike WiLL, and the multi-platinum producer (Rihanna, Jay Z, Kanye West, 2 Chainz, Future, Juicy J) was instantly impressed by the brothers’ energy and quality of their music, signing the duo to his label.

Rae Sremmurd’s first single under the label “No Flex Zone” was a breakout for the duo and was a Billboard’s Hot 100 and Top 40 while earning the brothers a performance on the 2014 BET Hip-Hop Awards. The follow-up, “No Type,” has proved even bigger, peaking at number 16 on Billboard’s Top 40 charts and earning the duo their first late night appearance with a performance on The Tonight Show. To start 2015, Rae Sremmurd released their first album SremmLife with a top 5 debut on the Billboard Top 200 and a number 1 debut on Billboard Hip-Hop. With each new success, Swae Lee and Slim Jxmmi have managed to keep a level head, focused simply on showing the world what two young brothers from Tupelo can achieve.
