SCOPE Productions is thrilled to have Swae Lee as this year’s Homecoming headliner!

Known for his experimental vocals and hypnotic melodies, Swae Lee has positioned himself as a genre-bending artist within the rap circle. Hailing from Tupelo, Mississippi, Swae Lee debuted as one-half of the acclaimed rap duo Rae Sremmurdsharing the stage with his brother, Slim Jxmmi. They have earned multiple platinum certifications, ranging from four-time to eight-time platinum records. Hits such as "Black Beatles," "Swang," "No Type," "Come Get Her," "No Flex Zone," and many more are verified chart-toppers (The Recording Industry Association of America). 

Swae Lee’s musical journey hasn’t stopped at Rae Sremmurd. He unveiled his solo debut album, Swaecation, in 2018. The release was described as a "top-down California cruise into a romantic waterfront sojourn" (Pitchfork). Currently, he is working on an album titled Human Nature, with the release date yet to be announced.

In 2018, his collaboration with Post Malone on "Sunflower" for Sony's "Into The Spiderverse" earned him Grammy nominations for Best Pop Duo/Rap Duo Performance and Record of the Year. Swae Lee's notable contributions also include co-writing Beyoncé's Grammy-nominated "Formation," along with features on tracks such as Travis Scott’s "Sicko Mode," Nicki Minaj's "Chun Swae,” and French Montana’s “Unforgettable,” which secured the number one spot on Billboard’s Hot Rap Songs Chart (Billboard).
