The coming-of-age and kinetic SremmLife reminds listeners that jumping into "poppa's chair" was a thrilling mix of pride and new opportunities, plus, the album doubles as a guaranteed party soundtrack.
Despite Rae Sremmurd's rep for hyped-up celebration songs, the album's best moment comes when Lee and Jimmy eschew cranking up for something closer to cutesy romance.
Though a few songs stretch out an interesting idea too far, SremmLife is a showcase of an electric new talent paired with all the trappings of a bigtime major label debut.
Buzzing Atlanta based duo Rae Sremmurd offer more than enough reason to wild out on their Interscope debut SremmLife.
Ultimately, Rae Stremmurd’s victory feels a bit like being woken up by a house party next door. You can either lie awake and groan with resentment, or you can roll out of bed, raid the cupboard for booze and go join in on the fun.
As a whole, SremmLife brims with potential; it's clear with each breath that Slim and Swae are hungry.
It is strange how as I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned to love this album more. As a kid I thought these guys absolutely sucked. This album literally slaps front to back
Wow Rae Sremmurd at the beginning were actually just incredibly annoying... Huh. I feel like the more they continued the better their projects became. However, the fourth installment of "SremmLife" isn't really shaping up in the best way possible...
i have a lot of fond memories about this album and it's sequel due to them being inescapable when i was in high school
Relistened to this today, was a go to project throughout my 5th grade life and man did it hold up. I don't know if it's all cause of nostalgia but man so many of these tracks are genuine classics and even the ones that aren't don't feel filler, they all hit in their own way. Genuinely a classic and great trap album deserving of more flowers.
