LISTEN TO ‘IN THE DARK’ HERE. ABOUT SWAE LEE As the younger and melodic half of southern hip-hop duo Rae Sremmurd, Swae Lee has established his own versatile discography with a sound that is undeniably and utterly his. Tracks such as French Montana’s ‘Unforgettable’ (which peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100), the Grammy-nominated ‘Sicko Mode’ with Travis Scott and Drake (which also landed at #1 on the Billboard charts), and his impressive list of writing credits (including the hook to Beyoncé’s ‘Formation’ which peaked at #10 on Billboard Hot 100) are all a testament to that versatility. His song ‘Sunflower’ with Post Malone (off the Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse soundtrack) topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart and remained in the Top 5 for four months, with over one billion cumulative streams. It also is the highest-charting song to ever land on a Spider-Man franchise soundtrack. He recently won a 2020 Billboard Music Award for Top Dance/Electronic Song for the hit record ‘Close To Me’ with Ellie Golding & Diplo.
