Slim Jxmmi flops down face-first on a hotel room sofa. Swae Lee, looking a little bewildered, gently swings around a glass bottle of water, eyes half-closed. Rae Sremmurd, the masterminds behind "Black Beatles," the soundtrack of 2016's Mannequin Challenge meme monolith, are behaving as if they've just woken up in a strange flat at 2PM after a fairly hefty bender.
They flew into London from Paris the night before, and are feeling a little worse for wear. "Minor hangover," Jxmmi says. What does a bad one look like then? "Throwing up everywhere—'somebody help me, I'm dying'. Throwing up on girls, too." For a second, it looks like the pair might be flagging, until I ask about the previous night's Paris show. "It was awesome," Jxmmi exclaims. "Fucking awesome! I saw the Eiffel Tower light up!" And just like that they're back to their normal selves.
The platinum-selling brothers from Tupelo, Mississippi have cause to celebrate after the year they've had. But even without an explicit reason to let loose, they would probably jump on an express train to hedonistic nirvana. Their constant Spring Break-eqsue partying is what makes them who they are, what lends them a limitless, unending buoyancy that seems to grant them the energy to pump out hit after hit. It's all part of the "Sremmlife" ethos.
