When you think about what you really need to be successful, most might name off a positive mindset, healthy lifestyle and enough sleep as their go-tos, but if you are hard partying young hip-hop group touring the country, your recipe for success might be a little different.
The Mississippi-born brothers Khalif “Swae Lee” Brown, 20, and Aaquil “Slim Jimmy” Brown, 22, are two brothers known for their hip hop music and their crazy party life, also known as the “Sremmlife”.
Recent tour rider demands of rich and famous rappers have ranged from a Nivea chapstick for Drake to a barber’s chair for Kanye West, but what does Rae Sremmurd need backstage to be about that SremmLife?
Doritos tacos and a stripper pole, among other things.

According to the “No Flex Zone” rap brothers’ rider, obtained by TMZ, every time Swae Lee and Slim Jimmy board their travel bus, they expect:
  • Two dozen chicken wings
  • Spicy Crunch Dorito Tacos from Taco Bell
  • Two bottles of Ace of Spades Champagne
  • Two bottles of Moet Chandon Champagne
  • One bottle of Hennessy
  • Small Super Soakers
  • Beach balls
  • $300 in singles
They also demand a 15-person-capacity van equipped with a stripper pole to transport them to the airport.
While asking for extravagant things like stripper poles and expensive alcohol may seem wasteful, it’s actually part of the essence of their hip-hop image — how they cultivate their business.
