Sremm 4 Life

by Rae Sremmurd

Overview

Multi-platinum Mississippi rap duo Rae Sremmurd went relatively silent for five years following their 2018 triple-LP SR3MM. Five years is a lifetime in commercial rap terms, and their fourth studio album Sremm4Life reunites brothers Slim Jxmmi and Swae Lee (along with longtime producer/label boss Mike WiLL Made-It) for a collection of concise, immediate tracks that make up for lost time. While SR3MM was solid, its triple threat of an album's worth of collaborative tracks and dual solo albums from each of the brothers made it a lot to digest. Sremm4Life architects its flow to do more with individual pieces. Album-opener "Origami (Hotties)" eases listeners in with its slow, drunken trap pop beat before ramping up to the hypnotizing synth horns and Young Thug feature of the ceaselessly hooky "Royal Flush" or the throwback party bop of "Tanisha (Pump That)" complete with DJ scratching that's rarely heard in streaming-era rap songs. Future shows up to add some mist and mystique to the already vaporous boom of "Activate," and "YMCA" almost approaches synth pop territory. Bombastic closer "ADHD Anthem (2 Many Emotions)" continues the rock star energy Rae Sremmurd have been cultivating since their early days, with passionate melodic vocals about mental health struggles gliding over a chaotic uptempo instrumental. The songs that make up Sremm4Life are lean, purposeful, and to the point. One of Rae Sremmurd's greatest strengths has always been their ability to create incessantly catchy material and deliver it with a casual confidence that makes their meticulously crafted hits seem effortless. That gift is clearer than ever on Sremm4Life. ~ Fred Thomas
