BET Digital: Tell me about why you guys chose to align yourself with Reebok's brand instead of Nike, Adidas or another major sneaker giant?
Swae Lee: It's an original brand. It's not washed up and they've been doing the same formula and winning for decades. They have all this new athletic wear coming out and we're active artists ourselves. We don't just get on stage and stand around; we like to jump around, we like to be fly and we like the matching jumpsuits—LL Cool J-style. The color schemes and everything they've got going on fits us well. It's a no-brainer.
Slxm Jxmmi: I would agree with that; not too much to add.
You both have another major collabo you have coming up soon—Donald Glover’s tour! That’s gonna be a crazy sound and vibe hybrid for the stage. Are you excited for this one?
Swae Lee: It's crazy! Coming to a city near you, and it's gonna be sold out. It's gonna be a movie. You're going to get different genres.
Slxm Jxmmi: And different vibes. We gonna turn up, and you know [Childish] is gonna turn up. I can't wait to be side stage hearing 'Redbone.' It's definitely going to be a whole movie the entire tour. We need to document the whole thing. Childish is a cool guy and we're some cool guys, so I know we're going to have a lot of fun.
Swae Lee: New music. Sremm and Gambino.
New music; that's what I like to hear. When are we hearing that 'SremmLife3', though?
Slxm Jxmmi: We about to drop some more singles because we got so much music! So, people underestimate our abilities so we're gonna show them what we can do.
Swae Lee: Early April. SremmLife3.
You’re taking the stage tonight with some of that new music, which will definitely up the ante for the album. What do you plan on accomplishing with this album that you might not have with the formers?
Slxm Jxmmi: Well, I want to answer your question with a question: how many triple disk albums have you ever listened to?
Not many actually.
Slxm Jxmmi: See? That's what's going to make it different and special. It's not gonna be lame. It's not gonna be some thrown together piece of work. It's going to be thought put into it and it's going to mean something.
Swae Lee: We got a good reputation, you know? We ain't artists that just drop trash music. Every time we drop, it's crazy music. We're trying to give our fans super quality over quantity. Now we're giving them hella music; one project, all good music, different cadences. They're going to want to hear every song. They're all just dope as f**k. It's going to be history.
