Swae Lee

Swae Lee

Swae Lee first saw mainstream recognition as the younger and melodic half of southern hip-hop duo Rae Sremmurd. Swae has made a name for himself outside of his duo work, showcasing himself as a force to be reckoned with both within and beyond the hip-hop world. Tracks such as French Montana’s Diamond-certified “Unforgettable” highlight his singing chops, while his impressive list of writing credits includes Beyoncé’s “Formation.” Swae’s melodic repertoire, however, is not relegated exclusively to the R&B and hip-hop sphere as his crooning can also take on ballad form and mesh into a more electronic background as well—a complex Gemini in many ways. His impact on the music industry is also underscored by his record-breaking achievements, including the historic success of the Grammy-nominated track, “Sunflower,” which became the first-ever song to be certified 2x Diamond by the RIAA and holds one of the biggest streaming records in history. In addition to "Sunflower," Swae's contributions to hits like Travis Scott's “Sicko Mode” have also earned Diamond certifications, further cementing his place as a dominant force in modern music. His new solo album "SAME DIFFERENCE" is available now on all platforms.
