where did the name rae sremmurd come from
Rae Sremmurd Back in Georgia, the group worked a lot, performed in local shows, and got attention into the Atlanta indie hip hop scene.[24] P-Nazty, introduced them to Mike Will Made-It, who decided to sign them on his indie label, Made-It Mafia. In the meantime, King Dre decided to leave the group due to familial reasons and moved to Florida to focus on his studies.[5] The now-duo decided to change their stage names again. The group took as their new name "Rae Sremmurd", derived from Mike Will's production team "EarDrummers" by spelling both words backwards. Aaquil chose the name of "Slim Jimmy" (later stylized as "Slim Jxmmi"), and Khalif opted for first "iHipster Lee" then a few months later "Swae Lee."[25] When Mike Will Made-It finalized the creation of his major label "EarDrummers Entertainment" in partnership with Interscope Records, the two brothers became the first artists to sign.[26]
