Ever wondered how Rae Sremmurd’s hits like “Black Beatles” and “Swang” dominate the charts and stay stuck in your head for days?

Behind their party anthems and infectious beats lies a playbook of secrets most fans never see—until now.

Here are 5 behind-the-scenes tricks the duo uses to craft their unstoppable bangers (and #3 will blow your mind).

1. The “Two-Headed Monster” Creative Process

Swae Lee and Slim Jxmmi don’t just make music—they weaponize their differences.

Swae’s melodic, dreamy hooks clash perfectly with Slim’s gritty, high-energy verses, creating a sound that’s impossible to ignore.

Producer Mike WiLL Made-It once called them “yin and yang on steroids,” and it shows: their contrasting styles force listeners to hit replay.

2. Beat First, Lyrics Later (Way Later)

Most artists write lyrics and then find a beat, but Rae Sremmurd flips the script.

They’ll vibe to instrumentals for weeks, freestyling nonsense until melodies emerge naturally.

This explains why their songs feel so spontaneous—like “Come Get Her,” which started as gibberish over a hypnotic loop.

Here’s the bombshell: their producer Mike WiLL Made-It isn’t just a collaborator—he’s essentially the third member.

He crafts beats specifically to exploit their vocal quirks, like Swae’s airy falsetto or Slim’s raspy delivery.

Ever noticed how “No Flex Zone” sounds like it was made in a lab to invade your subconscious? That’s Mike WiLL’s witchcraft at work.

Before a song drops, Rae Sremmurd performs it live… at house parties.

If the crowd doesn’t lose it during the hook, they scrap it or rework it until it’s undeniable.

“Black Beatles” went through three versions before it passed the “party litmus test.”

Where other artists overthink lyrics, Rae Sremmurd leans into randomness.

Lines like “I’m in the kitchen, yams everywhere” or “Look at my neck, look at my wrist” shouldn’t work—but they’re iconic because they’re fun.

Their mantra? If it makes them laugh or dance, it’s going on the track.

So next time you’re screaming “This could be us but you playing” at a stoplight, remember: Rae Sremmurd’s genius is equal parts strategy and chaos.
