Rae Sremmurd released their sophomore album SremmLife 2 today, and during Complexmagazine’s interview with the duo, Swae Lee revealed that he’s working on a solo project calledSwaecation.

Read an excerpt from their story below and expect more information to arrive soon:

Jxmmi shifts in his chair and sighs. “I already know the industry been wanting to ask that question,” he says. “The whole industry going to do s--- to separate us. We got separate tracks, because we can both rap.” Moments later, he says he won’t release his solo material, “because I don’t want to satisfy the world like that.”

But Swae Lee admits that he has a possible album in the works, “a r-----ed project called Swaecation,” he says. “I have eight songs right now that I feel like are candidates for the project, but I gotta make sure they’re all up to par.”

“When we say solo projects, we say chances for the fans to get to see us individually. But we’re still Sremmed out. We might put them on the same disc—who knows? We definitely got different projects that we’re working on and tweaking.

Not sure if this has been said before by someone else, albeit on here, but I absolutely adore how far Desiigner's come in terms of his career.
When he first came out with Panda (which I loved and still love) and everyone kept making jokes about him being Future's "doppelganger", I hated him since I felt that he was stealing Future's shtick and trying way too hard at that. I also found it annoying how so many KTT users started stanning him despite having like one song and 2-3 features, all while constantly baiting Future stans.
But now, I can't help but stan Desiigner myself. After listening to New English and seeing him develop a "character" for himself (his hyperactivity, his Future-esque voice, his dabbing fetish) which we don't see very often in rap today other than Kanye and the like, I love him. Seeing him grow out of just being a Great Value™ Future and making a name for himself is simply admirable.
What do you all think? I appreciate everyone's opinion(s).

Rappers Who Have Owned 2016

Rap has treated us well so far in 2016. We have seen releases from many major artists along with a lot of up and coming rappers making a name for themselves. Join me as I count down the best names in rap this year.

5. Future



It's late night January 16th, I'm at a party sitting on the couch watching the NFL Playoffs. I casually scroll through Twitter when I then see a tweet about a Future project being released at 12 AM. This was huge after not hearing anything from Nayvadius since September when he and Drake released WATTBA.

11 hours later, Purple Reign surfaces online. There was a lot of mixed reactions when the tape first dropped, from myself included. As time passed, the tape grew on me and I saw that it did with others. Purple Reign is Future trying to reinvent himself. He is trying to switch up his style and evolve and it worked out great.

Only two months later, he then announces that he will be dropping EVOL. This tape also brought many mixed reactions as Future did not bring nothing new to the table minus Program, Low Life, and Lie to Me. Lil Haiti Baby is still one of the best rap songs of 2016 but the production on the rest of the album felt stagnant. The production coming from Metro has grown old, at least the production he has been giving Future. Metro is a very versatile producer if you look at his catalog. EVOL still is a hit or miss for a lot of fans but I have now seen many come around and have grown to love the project.

Dating back to 2014, Future has been upon a pedestal in rap and has kept himself there coming into 2016.

4. Young Thug



Thug released I'm Up in February and Slime Season 3 in March. At first, I thought I'm Up was very mediocre. It resonated with me the same way Purple Reign did. I liked Slime Season 3 much better but as time went on, I'm Up grew on me in ways I could not have imagined. King Troup is undeniably one of the best rap songs of 2016.

Thug has held the reigns of being one of the hottest names in rap for the past year. In 2016, he has done numerous features that have been great. There is still no one rapping like Thug right now.

3. Kevin Gates



Kevin Gates dropped ISLAH in January and in June, it is still one of my most played albums. Kevin Gates can craft together a hook like no other. Much like Young Thug, there are not many people rapping like Kevin Gates. His aggressive, heart on his sleeve demeanor has made him one of the best rappers in 2016.

With his label not allowing him to release another album until early 2017, he took to Twitter to announce the sequel to Murder 4 Hire. After many weeks of waiting, it finally dropped. It is not his best work to date as his hook writing felt a little lazier than what we are used to but the rapping itself was textbook Gates. I am expecting Gates to give us something else before the end of 2016 as well.

2. Kodak Black



Kodak Black has the highest ceiling of anyone in rap right now. The amount of potential this kid has is unreal. He remained quiet in 2016 up until today other than dropping one of the best verses of the year (See here: News or Smthn Freestyle)

Freshly turning just 19, he drops his fourth mixtape, Lil B.I.G. Pac, on June 11th (Today). I can already tell you that I have played this mixtape at least 10 times through already. As of right now, he is incarcerated and there is no word on when he will be released from prison but all we can hope is that it will be soon.

1. Boosie



In just 6 months, dating back to January, Boosie has dropped 4 albums this year. All of them have been phenomenal. I was never able to listen to Boosie until this year. He dropped In My Feelings (Goin Thru It) and I became a fan right there and then.

In My Feelings details the hardships he was going through after his diagnosis of cancer. Some say he may have milked the whole situation a little but I can easily look past that due to the quality of the music. The final track on In My Feelings, "I Know They Gon Miss Me," is one of the saddest rap songs I have ever heard. It made me tear up the first time listening to it.

I don't know what else Boosie has planned for 2016 but whatever it may be, I'll be waiting.

Trailer for YG And The Therapist



"In the next VICELAND special, Bompton rapper YG sits down with a therapist.

YG has been through some s--- over the past couple of years. He got shot at his own studio last summer and still doesn't know who the bullets came from. Now, the secret service is keeping tabs on him due to his recent single in protest of the GOP presidential nominee, straightforwardly titled "f--- Donald Trump." All of that, and he's about to drop Still Brazy, his sophomore album that will attempt to live up to and surpass the expectations set by his classic debut, My Krazy Life.

For all of these reasons and more, YG has enlisted the help of a therapist. And Noisey has filmed his therapy session and will broadcast it in a TV special entitled "YG and the Therapist," which is set to air on the VICELAND channel on Sunday, June 12 at 10PM. Arriving five days before his album, the special should be a good way of getting inside YG's psyche, which is very much "Still Brazy." "

literally I went from being somewhat unimpressed not f---ing with it because of the gospel vibe to liking the project as a whole a lot to this literally being amongst my top favorite rap projects of all time

this tape is the biggest grower I've ever heard

not a single less than amazing track here and that's a f---in fact, already one of the best rap projects ever recorded OF ALL TIME, not putting it above anything in particular, I'm just opening the debate

spectacular bars, spectacular production, overall an amazing work dawg
