This was more than a high-spirited stop-off on a sun-kissed island, it represents a seminal moment in the relentless march of the Hip Hop genre that continues to crush popular markets globally, fusing an inspired connection between East & West.

 

Brothers Swae Lee & Slim Jxmmy made the most of their visit to Thailand’s sea-side jewel: rumoured to be working on a new album at their resort, they found time to celebrate both Jxmmy’s birthday (he “caked” himself in prankster fashion) and Swae’s fresh release (ranking #1 on Billboard) aboard an exclusive, luxury yacht-party cruising the Andaman.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”4999″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_btn title=”Download high resolution photos” align=”center” link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fsugarclub-phuket.com%2Fpresskit%2FRae%20Sremmurd%20Photos.rar|title:High%20Quality%20photos|target:%20_blank|rel:nofollow”][vc_column_text]On the big night, dense crowds lined up outside our sold-out club in anticipation, while the atmosphere surrounding the stage surged to flash-point as the superstars took time for selfies & banter with devoted supporters.

Mid-way through the show, Thai fans handed a live sunflower to Swae Lee during his Billboard hit, “Sunflower”. Spontaneously fixing it in his hair, he delighted the crowd further by performing the rest of the show with it; later tweeting: “It’s a look; I want 10,000 sunflowers at the shows”.

With the entire club whipped into frenzy by Swae Lee and chanting “Sremm Life!”, the duo effortlessly transitioning into a fresh rendition of “Guatemala” from their latest album SR3MM. Predictably, the hour-long performance wasn’t enough, but still the brothers didn’t disappoint and the floor exploded again as they returned to the stage for a 20 minute encore.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”5026″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” onclick=”zoom”][vc_column_text]There can be little doubt that this sensational booking established a whole new level of recognition for Hip Hop in Phuket, Thailand and Asia beyond.
