    --------
    Slim Jxmmi of the hip-hop duo Rae Sremmurd shared the challenging journey he and his brother Swae Lee faced before their rise to fame. Despite performing well and garnering label meetings, they faced early rejections from major labels like Def Jam and Sony. Undeterred, they relocated from Mississippi to Atlanta to pursue their music dreams, even though they were almost penniless. Slim Jxmmi revealed a period of homelessness, where he worked at Kroger and lived in a tent in their parking lot. To maintain appearances, he'd spend time at Walmart before returning to his tent. Despite these hardships, he continued performing at local events. Eventually, he moved back to Mississippi, working at a mattress factory while Swae worked in fast food. Even contemplating joining the Army, Slim Jxmmi ultimately stayed committed to music, leading to Rae Sremmurd's eventual success.

    Gotta say, I definitely respect this young brother's hustle and grind. During COVID I was working full time but became homeless. I was renting a van so I could sleep in it so I could still maintain an income. 3 yrs later and I'm in a better place in my life now. No matter what life throws at you, you gotta keep it moving. 💯

That's why I'm going through what I'm going through because my faith is so strong in the lord. So many people ain't willing to go this route and are eager to get Fame and wealth which is why they sell their soul. When you wait on the lord, keep your faith, even when things get dark he comes through. I'm about to prove to everybody that you don't have to sell your soul to become successful.
