Swae Lee’s debut solo album “Same Difference” is dropping April 3, 2026, and he’s doing a major set at Coachella later this month – as his solo career is skyrocketing we got the former member of Rae Sremmund in our studio to talk through what he watches on YouTube (in between writing some 733 songs for his solo project).
The “Sunflower” performer’s Watch History goes from his earliest YouTube uploads in Tupelo with the Outta St8 Boyz to learning how to create music like T-Pain, all the mega-virality of the “Mannequin Challenge” – and even manages to find time to discuss why Geminis are misunderstood. It's a full behind-the-scenes look at what makes Swae Lee… Swae Lee.
