With their upcoming three-part album, Swae Lee and Slim Jxmmi are clearly entering a new chapter of Rae Sremmurd.
Thursday, the duo hit up Power 106 for a quick eight-minute discussion on what's to come. "Everybody saying we about to do the OutKast, you know what I'm saying, shout-out to OutKast, but we about to do the Rae Sremmurd," Jxmmi said around the 1:35 mark in the video up top. Asked why now was the right time for a triple-album, Jxmmi said that's just the Sremmurd way. "I mean, we're Rae Sremmurd," he said. "We wanted to do that. It's not, like, about anything, it's just like, 'Man, OK, this is our third album.' We're two different artists and we're in a group, so we could drop our own solo projects and we could drop a group project and it'll just be like a cool project, something that we could do and it'll just be fire." Accurate.
Naturally, the talk turned to their prolific output with Mike Will Made-It, who they say is already living (approximately) in the year 2030. "We couldn't make a bad song if we wanted to," Lee, at around the 3:24 mark, said of their history of hits. "His production is so crazy."
The two also discussed their upcoming tour with Childish Gambino, using YouTube to learn how to record at home, and more.
SremmLife 3 is expected to drop at some point in April. Another trio of singles—one from the group effort, two from each solo collection—is out March 29. Earlier this month, Sremmurd dropped the video for "Powerglide" featuring Juicy J. As you can likely tell due to the beat's general awesomeness, this is another Mike Will co-production.
