Ole Miss drops exciting hype video featuring Swae Lee ahead of CFP semifinal
Published:
Amidst plenty of outside noise, Ole Miss is gearing up for what is likely the biggest game in the school’s football history this week, and the program’s social media team released a hype video fitting of the occasion.
With the Fiesta Bowl clash with Miami looming Thursday night, the Rebels dropped a clip that featured famous rapper Swae Lee narrating over highlights of Ole Miss’ season thus far.
“The higher you climb, the higher the standard. You shine under the light, but you know one hit is never enough,” Lee said. “Can’t stop now, everyone dreams of these moments. But only those who believe can make them a reality…”
“…Believe in the process when it’s time to go to work. And believe that the stage is for you. But a stage is just a stage until you step in the spotlight,” Lee continued. “The crowd is screaming for an encore, GIVE THEM WHAT THEY CAME FOR!”
The video then transitions into a mashup of Swae Lee’s music overlaying highlights from Ole Miss’ season, with an emphasis placed on the two College Football Playoff victories.
Swae Lee was born in Inglewood, California but was primarily raised in Tupelo, Mississippi, hence why he was involved in this production.
The Rebels and Hurricanes are set to kick off at 7:30 p.m. ET on Thursday night.
