It’s not even just the topic of the content, but also the originality to the tracks. If meaning, direction, and knowledge is desired, this album would be the equivalent of your average vegan, gluten-free, vegetarian Seattleite checking out the local rib joint. That being said, this album is not without faults. With an obvious deep southern influence rapping (Check out track #4, “My X”, for an Atlanta inspired Nae Nae type track) over heavy banging, cohesive beats, each song will sound different, with only a catchy hook and highly variable notes hit in each verse being guaranteed (See track #7 “Up like Trump”). Perfect for leaving behind the deep meaning often yearned for in music, and trading it in for background music as to embark on a crunk, late-night adventure. The beats in Sremmlife lay the foundation for the environment you should be playing these songs in. You might have heard of that one song of his “23” that a certain Miley Cyrus, Wiz Khalifa, and Juicy J collectively blew to astronomical levels of mainstream success is just a recent example of Mike Will’s ability to conjure up music that the masses will listen to, whether they want to or not, hate it or love it. An ultra popular producer in today’s age, it is no surprise to see him as the mastermind behind this collection of songs. It is he who actually created the sub-label “Ear Drummers”, so hopefully you can make the connection.

Swae Lee and Slim Jxmmi compliment each other by raising the bar of charisma a duo can bring to a track, especially when matched with beats tailored by their mentor of the rap game, Mike Will Made It. This is high-energy music that will undoubtedly have you bumping your head in all directions. That party life has a time and place, and this Sremmlife could provide a proper blueprint. No, this album will not be used as inspiration for representing the great philosophers of our century, but the value of fun, in the most wild and hype way, should not be diminished and can be discussed at length (which I am about to do, but stay with me).

Lyrically, you will find a plethora of content revolving around money, girls, sex, partying, alcohol, and a lavish life. They wanted to make music that would give insight into their style. It’s important to understand that they didn’t come into the game intending to be next Tupac or Aesop Rock. A name so ridiculous that it is almost clever (Shout out to Flo-Rida, long time resident of you guessed it, Florida), it has to represent a couple guys barely wrapping up their high school careers before embarking on a skyrocketing rap career.

Drawing comparisons to the likes of Kriss Kross and Lil Jon, two artists known for creating a sound that have projected stills of their rap-life hyphy habitat, the Rae Sremmurd duo birthed a style so unique that it is undoubtedly a timestamp of today’s attitude and carefree lifestyle. This is where Rae Sremmurd’s Sremmlife excels, and where the Brown brothers, Khalif “Swae Lee” and Aaquil “Slim Jxmmi” place their own landmark on today’s hip-hop scene. Like this if you wish real hip-hop was still alive. If you came here looking for the next great lyricist of the rap game, I’d suggest you return to the comment section of Youtube where you might have gave the “thumbs up” to that one guy who wrote, “I was born in the wrong generation.
