Khalif "Swae Lee" Brown and Aaquil "Slim Jimmy" Brown grew up in Tupelo, Mississippi. According to an interview by Complex, at a point in their life they were homeless. Before they became Rae Sremmurd, they were in a trio going by the name of "Dem Outta State Boyz" which used to upload videos to social media like YouTube and song to Reverbnation, looking for recognition. They first became noticed by P-Nasty when his cousin had told him about them. P-Nasty had called them telling them he was interested in their music, and for them to make more music and get a video ready
