ILoveMakonnen reunites with Mike WiLL Made-It on his rock-tinged single “Love” featuring Rae Sremmurd. With a pop-punk twist and infectious harmonies, the genre. Davido teams up with Young Thug and Rae Sremmurd in the explosive video for his Afrobeat single “Pere.” Directed by Sesan, the visual was shot inside. Aaquil Iben Shamon Brown (also known as Slim Jxmmi) and his little brother Khalif Malik Ibn Shaman Brown (also known as Swae Lee) were born in Inglewood, California, on December 29, 1991 and June 7, 1993, respectively.

Check out everything from our Freshman issue. “Oooooh! Udit Narayan Hit Songs Download Pk. ” squeals Khalif Brown, full of delight. “We know how old you are now!” “Damn,” his older brother Aaquil says sheepishly. He mutters something inaudible and then confesses: “He got the real age.” Aaquil, who records as Slim Jxmmi and forms one half of Rae Sremmurd, looks a bit stunned. In a rare moment of transparency—one of the handful of times during this afternoon’s conversation where he spoke clearly and from his heart—Slim’s betrayed one of the long-running jokes he and his brother have been playing on the press for about a year. He had been speaking about his brother—not Khalif, who raps as Swae Lee and serves as the other half of Rae Sremmurd; not his half-brother, from his mother’s second relationship; but his stepfather’s son.

“We was born on the same day,” he said. “So, we like, not brothers by blood, but we got the same—” he trailed off, before being ran over by Swae. “They the same person,” Swae said definitively and dismissively with a laugh. “We kind of do act the same,” Jxmmi laughed back. “We both.” Then he trailed off again. This was pretty much the flow of conversation: Jxmmi saying something, then trailing off into a half-thought; Swae coming in and talking over him, mostly to correct or argue a point, but sometimes interjecting with an attention-grabbing non-sequitur, like little brothers are prone to do in front of an audience.

There’s been hardly a lull with the two—just about every silent space has been filled with some sort of joke or accent or impersonation, courtesy of Swae. But for a moment, Swae was there, on a warm spring day, stretched out underneath a canopied lounge hammock near the swimming pool of the spacious Studio City mansion they recently acquired with their label boss, Mike WiLL Made It. Jxmmi, sitting on a chair a few feet away, was discarding the joint he had been smoking and was drifting away on a memory. And it was real easy to set him up by asking what day he and his brother were born. “December 29th,” he said, plainly and seriously. “And I was born December 29th, 1991.” He repeated: “1991. We even got the same parents and our parents didn’t.” And that’s when Swae popped his head up, telling his brother that he’d just snitched on himself.

(For his part, Swae maintains that he was born on June 7 in “Swae New Year. Vedo The Singer Download. The best year ever.”) “I’m just lucky that I look so young, so they not going to believe it,” Jxmmi says now with a laugh. “Any age you put, it’s not going to be believed.” “They got you on tape recorder, Slim,” counters Swae. “What if I told you we got you on tape recorder?” “Well, I’d say another magazine got me on tape saying a different age and a different date,” Jxmmi offers, all legal-like.

Swae asks, “How long do you think you can go without saying?” “Thirty years,” Jxmmi says. And again, with emphasis.

“Thir-tee years.” “I want to sit right there, bro,” says Swae. He’s no longer talking about his brother’s age, or his. He’s already imperceptibly switched lanes and is looking at a large white modern house, way up on a hill. “Imagine that view,” he muses. “That’s where Dexter and The Powerpuff Girls live.”. To say Rae Sremmurd have had a breakout year would be an understatement. The first two singles from their debut album, SremmLife—“No Flex Zone” and “No Type”—were both certified platinum.
