Tupelo, Mississippi. Its the home of Elvis Presley, but even for those clued in on the fact: its safe that few, if any,
know much more about the city. Nestled in the northeast corner of the Magnolia State, and a with a population of just
over 35,000, indeed, Tupelo, like most small metropolises, is easy to overlook. Rae Sremmurd- pronounced Ray
Shrimer, consisting of real life brothers Slim Jxmmi and Swae Lee, the first act signed to multi-platinum Mike wiLL
Made- Its Ear Drummer Records- is out to change that.
Slim Jxmmi, 20, and Swae Lee, 19, were born in california, but moved to to Tupelo at an Early age, where they were
raised in the notorious Ida Street housing projects, some of the worst, most crime-ridden in the state.
