Rae Sremmurd- Just Like You (Before The Fame)

Talking to the two brothers that make up Rae Sremmurd, 19-year-old Swae Lee and 21-year-old Slim Jimmy, is exactly like you’d expect. Both ecstatic over their recent success after years in the underground trenches of hip-hop, the brothers are energetic even during this particular early Friday morning. “Today we woke up and are on our way to the airport for a show in Detroit. I’m in my pajamas,” said Lee, who frequently punctuated his sentences with the phrase “SremmLife!”, the name of the duo’s debut album. “I’m all good, though. Couldn’t be better. SremmLife!”

Swae and Slim have reason to be excited. Since breaking out onto the scene with their hit song “No Flex Zone,” the brothers of Rae Sremmurd (which is their label, Ear Drummers, backwards), have followed up their debut with two more hit singles, the catchy “No Type” and the latest smash, “Throw Some Mo,” which also features the likes of Nicki Minaj and Young Thug. “I’m gonna be real right now,” says Jimmy. “Around women, I try to remain calm and collected. But around Nicki, I couldn’t even talk. I could barely get my voice to leave my mouth! I wasn’t starstruck, but you know you’re in the game when you’re eye-to-eye with Nicki Minaj. It means you made it.”

Casual observers of hip-hop think of Rae Sremmurd as an overnight success story, partly due their young age and the rapid-fire succession of the brothers’ breakout hits.
In reality, they’ve been plotting their ascension to the main stage for years. “People don’t know that we were a different group at first and were grinding for a long time,” explained Jimmy of their first iteration dubbed Dem Outta St8 Boyz. “We’ve been grinding for about eight years; with nobody telling us we were just trying stuff on our own. We learned engineering and how to make beats. We used to DJ and host parties for fun, not even knowing that it could be a real career. We were just doing it just to do it.”
