Rae Sremmurd Background

Slim Jxmmi, the older brother, was born on the 29th December 1991, and Swae Lee on the 6th June 1995 in Inglewood, California; they were raised by a single mother, Bernadette, since their father, Michael, left the family when the two were rather young, in order to support her children, Bernadette worked in the army which led to frequent moves, living briefly in Maryland, Mississippi, until finally settling in Fort Hood, Texas. While there, the two brothers started writing music and learning how to dance, and it was when Swae Lee was 10 years old that the two made their first song, through Fruity Loops. Bernadette met Floyd Sullivan in Texas, and they returned to Mississippi with her new partner. Floyd became their stepfather, and Bernadette left her job in the military, so in order to survive, Floyd sold drugs. Luckily, the boys stayed off the streets, making progress in music and school as well.

Career Beginnings

As early as 2008, the two launched their music career; after meeting Jemiah Middlebrooks in Tupelo, they started a hip-hop band Dem Outta St8 Boyz. Gradually their focus on music increased and after a few recordings and videos, they began uploading their work onto social media. Unfortunately, this led to them leaving the school, which further resulted in a strain in relationships with their mother, who eventually kicked them out of the house.

For a time they dwelled in abandoned buildings, which they used for organizing parties at which they would play their own music.

In 2010, they officially released their debut single entitled “Party Animal”, which soon became a local hit, and with this momentum, they entered the audition for the “Wild Out Wednesday” segment on BET’s show “106 & Park” in Memphis, Tennessee, and succeeded in qualifying. After another few successful performances, they were called up by Def Jam Recordings and Sony Music, but couldn’t reach an agreement.
