Mike WiLL Made-It’s protégées Swae Lee and Slim Jxmmi have had us in the palm of their hands since 2015’s SremmLife; a tightly curated run of 11 bangers. We weren’t the only fans — Rihanna told i-D No Type was her favourite song to party to. Their sophomore album, SremmLife 2 is due August 12 — which feels like it can’t come soon enough.
The SremmLife 2 singles we’ve heard so far, By Chance and Look Alive, are decidedly more laconic than the pair’s earlier work. Today, Rae Sremmurd suggest their sound will keep trending darker with a fresh single called #DoYoga. It’s a spacey tune, which would almost be ambient if you pulled the brother’s verses. Maybe they’re growing up. Press play, sink into child’s pose.
