Swae Lee on His Debut Solo Album, Diamond Records, Coachella, Writing for Beyoncé & More

Swae Lee pulls up to Mornings With Mero for a candid conversation about his highly anticipated debut solo album “Same Difference” — and he’s holding nothing back.

Swae breaks down what it’s like to finally go solo after years with Rae Sremmurd, how he tapped producers from all over the world for the project, and why he had to give fans “a gumbo” of sounds — from Afro beats to R&B to trap. He also reflects on becoming one of fewer than 15 rappers EVER to have two diamond singles, writing the hook on Beyoncé’s “Formation,” the classic run of “Unforgettable” with French Montana, and why “Sunflower” hits everywhere from the hood to senior citizen homes.

Plus — Swae talks about his goals (Super Bowl performance, anyone?), what he’s looking for in a woman, and the wild Governor’s Ball injury story involving Jxmmy that you have to hear for yourself.

Same Difference is OUT NOW. Stream it. Better yet — go get the vinyl.
