    Throughout the album, the duo is still working with Mike Will Made It and his stable of producers, who provide Rae Sremmurd with infectious beats set at precisely the right shoulder-rocking tempo.

    A rarely relenting party with more substance than the last.

    Most of SremmLife II’s successes are confined to its front half, but the brothers have a strong enough pop sensibility to reward your attention even when they’re on autopilot. [Oct 2016, p.65]

    SremmLife 2 may not pack the punch of its predecessor, but it shows that the brothers are growing musically. Far from one-note, Rae Sremmurd have the chops to sustain a long and varied run going forward.

    Hotter singles make their debut a better buy, but for a group pegged as a one-hit wonder early on, SremmLife 2 dispels that myth with style.

    There are pleasures to be found on SremmLife 2 once you adjust your expectations and realize that it’s not a “No Flex Zone” sequel. Instead, it charts a different but still familiar path: Every youth explosion is eventually tempered by the grind and hard-won rewards of grown-man work.

    Stretching beyond SremmLife, their party-starting choruses are squeaked, squawked and shouted; mellower stuff can get a Makonnen-esque broken falsetto ("Swang"); "By Chance" succeeds with a haughty Dana Dane accent.

    SremmLife 2 might actually be be better than the first. The production is once again very high quality and the songs are incredibly catchy.SremmLife 2 might actually be be better than the first. The production is once again very high quality and the songs are incredibly catchy. This album is another hype album with banger after banger. The songs are also catchy but they aren't repetitive (not too much). Swae Lee shows off some great vocals on this album and Slim Jxmmi goes hard on his verses, proving both of them are an amazing duo. In the end, if you enjoyed the first album or you need some upbeat music...here you go.

    If you're listening to hip hop, especially hip hop like this, for lyrics, then you're a **** dusthead who needs to get with the times. SubjectIf you're listening to hip hop, especially hip hop like this, for lyrics, then you're a **** dusthead who needs to get with the times. Subject matter is very preferential anyways and not indicitive of talent. The bottom line is, Mike Will's beats are good, the mixing is good, Swae's melodies are insane, the charisma is there, and there is a lot of experimentation here. It's a very good album… Expand
