Although from California, Swae was raised in Tupelo, Mississippi. After his parents split, Swae spent his childhood in the notorious and crime-ridden district of Ida Street Housing projects alongside his older brother – Aaquil Ibis Shaman Brown – who is also a rapper and performs under the alias Slim Jxmmi. Having quite a tough childhood, Swae found his escape in rap music, becoming a huge fan of Mississippi’s rapper David Banner. In 2009, alongside his brother and Lil Pantz (Jemiah Middlebrook), Swae formed the hip hop band Dem Outta St8 Boyz. They began by organizing parties and uploading their music videos in order to spread their music, before releasing their official debut single “Party Animal” in early 2010. These ventures provided the basis for Swae Lee’s current net worth.
In 2013 the brothers transferred to Atlanta, Georgia, where they signed a record deal with EarDrummers Entertainment, and founded their own rap duo Sremmurd Rae. In December 2013, their promotional single entitled “We” was released, immediately followed by the song “Throw Sum Mo”, which gained huge attention. In March 2014, the brothers performed at the South by Southwest music festival, promoting their new single “No Flex Zone” which quickly went viral, and peaked at No. 36 on the Billboard Hot 100 in August. They also performed during the 2014 BET Hip How Awards ceremony after which their new single, “No Type” hit the charts, peaking at No. 16 on the US Hot 100 chart. By January 2015, both of these hit singles were rated platinum, dramatically increasing the size of Swae Lee’s net worth.
Sremmurd Rae then made a real breakthrough after releasing their first studio album – “SremmLife” – which quickly earned platinum rating, and brought Swae and his brother nominations for the BET, the BET Hip Hop and the Billboard Music Awards. In June 2015, they were honored with the BET Award for the Best Group, then in June 2016 they released their second studio album – “SremmLife 2” – which featured the critically acclaimed hit single “Black Beatles”. It is certain that all these accomplishments helped Swae Lee not only to boost his popularity as well as to add a sum to the total of his wealth.
In July 2016, Swae Lee and Slim Jxmmi founded their own record label – SremmLife Crew Records, and in addition, they both their turned focus towards solo careers. For his songwriting credits of Beyoncé’s song “Formation” on her album “Lemonade”, Swae Lee was nominated for the MTVU Woodie Award as well as for the prestigious Grammy Award in 2017. Later in 2017, he gained huge attention and recognition for being featured in French Montana’s song and music video “Unforgettable”. Speaking of 2018, Swae released his debut studio album entitled “Swaecation”, while Sremmurd Rae released its “SremmLife 3”. Doubtlessly, all these endeavors have helped Swae Lee to enlarge the size of his revenues by a large margin.
