Hailing from Tupelo, Mississippi, Rae Sremmurd is a hip-hop duo comprised of brothers Swae Lee and Slim Jxmmi. Their name—which is “Ear Drummers” spelled backwards—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 “No Flex Zone,” which became a top 40 hit. Their follow-up “No Type” was even more successful, peaking at #16 on Billboard’s Hot 100. The group’s debut album SremmLife was released in January 2015.

The group’s second album SremmLife 2 was released in summer 2016. After initially struggling to recapture the success of their debut, the group’s single “Black Beatles” shot to #1 on the Hot 100 thanks to its placement in the viral “Mannequin Challenge” meme.
