Rae Sremmurd new album SremmLife 2 ‘dropping soon’

Unlock da shwag...

Rather than dropping a new track with every second bowel movement like many other rappers right now, Rae Sremmurd have mostly kept quiet since SremmLife, easily the most fun record of 2015.

Aside from the odd guest verse, Swae Lee and Slim Jimmy have been beavering away on a follow-up album with returning producer Mike WiLL Made It, and now it looks like it’s about ready to drop.

“Warning not for the soft #Sremmlife2 dropping soon,” Swae Lee wrote on Twitter last night, alongside a video of the duo performing new material at a show.

He also made reference to it during a 20-minute freestyle on Tim Westwood’s show (take "dropping soon" with a vat of salt though, in hip-hop that can mean up to about 15 months).

The first SremmLife was incredibly well-received - hell, even Kendrick liked it, previously tweeting: “Unlock duh Shwag, Shwaa Unlock.”

“That's crazy bro,” Swae said of the tweet. “That's like a big moment in history right there for us.”

It’s good to hear Mike WiLL Made It is back on board for the new album, he had this to say about it back in August: “Every song on Sremmlife is a HIT. Still sounding fresh af. Great start. SremmLife 2 in the works.”

SremmLife mostly featured only bars from Rae Sremm themselves - bar input from Nicki Minaj and Big Sean - though there’s no word yet on who, if anyone, will be collabing for the follow-up.
