Swae Lee has penned a heartfelt message celebrating the arrival of Rae Sremmurd’s new album Sremm 4 Life, which dropped on Friday (April 7).
The Mississippi crooner took to Instagram on Thursday (April 6) to reflect on the project’s long-awaited arrival and the “blood, sweat and tears” that he’s poured into it, saying the past few years have been filled with both highs and lows.

“It’s bigger than me. Album out TOMORROW !!” Swae Lee captioned a photo of him and his baby daughter. “This is for my friends and family my EXTENDED Family the Fans.
“This past 5 years has been full of ups and downs but I will always fly high during the turbulence . I’m very excited to finally have this project finished and out for y’all !! this is my blood, sweat, and Tears in melody form ENJOY IT ALL ! SREMM4LIFE.”
Sremm 4 Life is Rae Sremmurd’s first full-length project since SR3MM, which dropped in May 2018 and peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard 200, earning 57,000 album-equivalent units in its first week.
The 14-track album features two stand-out features from Future and Young Thug, as well as production from Pharrell, Mike WiLL Made-It, Zaytoven, Murda Beatz and Sonny Digital, among others.

The project also includes the track “Not So Bad (Lean Gone Cold),” which is a codeine-inspired drill rap reworking of Eminem’s “Stan” and had fans losing their minds when Swae first previewed it on TikTok last year.
The duo of Swae Lee and Slim Jxmmi teased Sremm 4 Life throughout 2022, dropping off the singles “Denial” and “Community Dick” with Flo Milli last summer.
Sremm 4 Life also arrives after Swae Lee suffered a string of bad luck in 2022. Last July, the rapper was seen on video being rescued after he was trapped inside a hot elevator for three hours.
He then took a spill onstage a few days later while trying to stage dive during a performance of Rae Sremmurd’s hit “No Type.”

In better news, Swae Lee and Post Malone made history together last year, as their “Sunflower” collaboration became the highest RIAA-certified single of all time.
The song, which was created as part of the Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse soundtrack in 2018, was certified 17x platinum, surpassing Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus’ 15x platinum “Old Town Road” remix.
