Rae Sremmurd's Swae Lee is the Creative Mind Behind Beyoncé's 'Formation'
FUSE TV - Rae Sremmurd's Swae Lee is the Creative Mind Behind Beyoncé's 'Formation'
It was already revealed that Swae Lee—one half of the animated rap duo Rae Sremmurd—is one of the main co-writers credited on Beyoncé's "Formation," but his contribution to the record goes even deeper. In an interview with The New Yorker, producer Mike Will Made-It explained how the song's concept came about during a 2014 Coachella trip. He stated,
“So we’re in the middle of the desert. And we’re just coming up—we just freestyle, you know?—and Swae Lee said, ‘O.K., ladies, now let’s get in formation.’ And we put it on the VoiceNote. Swae Lee’s got so many voice notes that he doesn’t even record, but I’m like, ‘Dog, we got to do that “get in formation” shit.’ That could be a hard song for the ladies. Some woman-empowerment shit. Like, ‘Ladies, let’s get in line, let’s not just fall for anything.’ I’m seeing that vision.”
