RAE SREMMURD CELEBRATES 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF DOUBLE-PLATINUM ALBUM SREMMLIFE 2

Today, Rae Sremmurd's Swae Lee and Slim Jxmmi celebrate the 10th anniversary of SremmLife 2, the sophomore album that turned the Tupelo, Mississippi duo into one of Hip Hop’s defining forces of the decade. To mark the anniversary, Rae Sremmurd has released limited edition merch; available for purchase starting today (8/12) at 11am PST HERE.

Released on August 12, 2016, the double-platinum SremmLife 2 reached the Top 5 on the Billboard 200 and built on the breakout success of the duo's 2015 debut SremmLife, delivering 14 tracks packed with the group's signature blend of hyperactive hooks, party-starting energy and genre-blurring production. The album featured the Billboard charting singles Diamond- certified “Black Beatles”, 6x platinum “Swang” and 2x platinum “Look Alive,” as well as guest appearances from Gucci Mane, Kodak Black, Juicy J and Lil Jon.

"Black Beatles," featuring Gucci Mane, became a cultural phenomenon, topping the Billboard Hot 100 for 7 weeks and soundtracking the viral "Mannequin Challenge" that swept the Internet in late 2016 and experienced a major revival to mark the anniversary in 2026. The challenge has amassed 11.6B+ TikTok views and 15.5M+ pieces of TikTok user generated content.

The anniversary follows the release of Swae Lee’s debut solo studio album SAME DIFFERENCE, available now on all platforms. Fresh off a surprise performance alongside Post Malone at the FIFA World Cup Closing Ceremony, Swae Lee is currently on the road for his SAME DIFFERENCE European tour
