Here I am giving artists grief about not dropping at the top of the year, and now we have Rae Sremmurd dropping their new album, SremmLife, at the top of the year. Good. SremmLife did around 50,000 units in it’s first week. Would the album have sold more if it was dropped when “No Flex Zone” was hotter? I don’t know. They do have another hit with “No Type”.
We do have a review of Rae Sremmurd’s SremmLife on the way, but shit happens and it got delayed. Hopefully we get it later this week Check out that review right here.
