Among his career highlights, Swae Lee earned universal acclaim for his 2018 chart-topping single "Sunflower" with music icon Post Malone. The song made history as the first-ever double-diamond certified single by the Recording Industry Association of America, signifying 20 million sales and streams. The smash hit reached No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Top 100 chart, remained in the top 10 for 33 weeks and was featured on the "Spider Man: Into the Spider-Verse" film soundtrack.

Widely recognized for his distinctive vocals and genre-blending style, Swae Lee gained popularity as one half of the hip-hop duo Rae Sremmurd. The group's hits include "No Flex Zone," "No Type," and the multiplatinum single "Black Beatles," which topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart and inspired the widely popular Mannequin Challenge on social media in 2016.

Beyond his work with Rae Sremmurd, Swae Lee built an impressive solo career. He has earned Grammy Award nominations for three singles and several other accolades, including recognition from the Billboard Music Awards and MTV Video Music Awards.

Swae Lee also has collaborated with pop artists Madonna and Ellie Goulding as well as rappers Drake, French Montana, Travis Scott and Wiz Khalifa, among many others. He averages nearly 40 million monthly listeners on Spotify.
