Rae Sremmurd | Where Are They Now? | What Happened to Swae Lee & Slim Jxmmi?

Before They Were Famous - A podcast by Michael McCrudden

Rae Sremmurd is a hip-hop duo consisting of real-life brothers, Slim Jxmmi and Swae Lee. These Mississippi-raised artists have come to embody a new type of mainstream music that creates a kaleidoscope of musical genres which encourages their listeners to dance, jump, or simply sing along depending upon their mood. In that sense, they’re very much the encapsulation of the endless alternatives defining Generation Z. Their first two albums were monumental hits, which emboldened these two to turn their third album into an extremely experimental 3-disc project. Unfortunately, when it wasn’t embraced the way they thought it might be, cracks in their foundation began to show. Rumors of discontent cropped up. Then something much worse would happen when their step-father was murdered by their own flesh and blood. A year later, Slim would be behind bars himself. Think you know what happened? Then leave your answers below -- as for the rest of you -- stay tuned for one of the craziest stories you’ve heard in a while on our latest episode of Where Are They Now!
