Mississippi party-rap duo Rae Sremmurd have currently been teasing their forthcoming album SREMM4LIFE, the follow-up to their 2018 triple album SR3MM. In current months, they’ve launched a bunch of early singles: “Denial,” the Flo Milli collab “Community Dick,” the Duke Deuce collab “Finger Food.” Today, they’ve bought a brand new observe known as “Torpedo.”
“Torpedo” is Rae Sremmurd doing what they do. Most of the observe is Swae Lee singing weirdly meditative melodies over a hazy synth-rap beat produced by Sonny Digital, SAV, and the peerlessly named Austin Powerz. Swae’s brother Slim Jxmmi exhibits up late, rapping with a complete lot of power, however a lot of the observe belongs to Swae. The music is all about nightlife hedonism, and it’s clearly purported to sound higher if you’re pale; it’s in all probability being launched proper now in order that it’ll get burn at New Year’s celebrations tomorrow evening. Lyrical references embody Finding Nemo, Johnny Bravo, Joe Dirt, and Steve-O. Check out the frivolously psychedelic video beneath.
