Composed of brothers Khalif “Swae Lee” Brown and Aaquil “Slim Jxmmi” Brown, Rae Sremmurd—the phrase “ear drummers” read backwards—released a debut album last January. Titled “SremmLife” (EarDrummers Entertainment and Interscope Records), it included the hit singles “No Type” and “Come Get Her.”

During 2015, the album peaked at No. 5 on the U.S. Billboard 200 list.

Additionally, the duo was nominated for one Billboard Music and three BET awards, ultimately winning in the Best Group category. For more, visit www.raesremmurd.com.
