Mims Artist Snapshot:

Washington Heights, New York City-based rapper MIMS made a splash with his 2008 debut single, "This is Why I'm Hot," by forgoing the usual hip-hop parochialism in favor of "Dancing in the Streets"-style inclusiveness, giving shout-outs to the Midwestern, Dirty South, and West Coast scenes. Coupled with his spare, dance club-style tracks and catchy sing-along choruses, this confluence of disparate rap approaches endeared MIMS's music to an unusually diverse audience. Lyrically, MIMS often mines personal themes, including the early death of his parents and the psychological toll of overnight success.

Review

Rolling Stone (p.63) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he beats keep things moving: 'Cop It' traffics in big, nickel-plated bounce, and 'Big Black Train' is another bare-bones banger."
Entertainment Weekly (p.71) - "Mims' quick, confident style recalls Jay-Z's mid-'90s blinged-out phase -- not a bad starting point..." -- Grade: B

Title Note

Additional personnel: J. Holiday, Purple Popcorn, Letoya Luckett, Junior Reid, Seed, Cham, Bun B.

Recording information: Blackout, Miami, FL.

Washington Heights rapper Mims performs a stylistic tightrope act on his debut album, MUSIC IS MY SAVIOR. The lead single "This is Why I'm Hot" established him as a New York MC who embraced the Dirty South sound, but the crossover appeal doesn't stop there. From start to finish, MUSIC IS MY SAVIOR emphasizes Mims's versatility, as he dips into crunk, hyphy, screw, and g-funk (see verse one of "Why I'm Hot"), all the while repping for New York City. While critics may claim his chameleon act adds little originality to the styles he dabbles in, they can't deny that he flips them all reasonably well. The Bad Seed, Bun B, Junior Reid, Cham, and Latoya Luckett are featured.
