Mims: Am I Still Hot?

Quinton Hatfield over at HipHopDX interviews Mims and finds out what's hot!

"Whether you like it or not “This Is Why I’m Hot” was one of the hottest singles to drop in the game lately. Many hip-hop fans that think southern hip-hop is about nothing were very shocked to find the kid behind this song was from New York City. The vibe of the song did seem southern hip-hopish and I’m not saying this is a bad thing. As he claims music is his savior New York rapper Mims is ready to show the game why he’s hot. Representing Manhattan, NY Mims is from a family of Jamaican descent and many don’t know that it was dreams of being a producer that led him into hip-hop. As time went on with producing it was only a matter of time before Mims would find out if he could rhyme.

One thing about Mims though is that he experienced hardships like many emcees who pursue their dreams in hip-hop to better their lives. Losing his mother and father at very young age definitely had to be a blow to this kid's life but through his love for hip-hop, Mims kept at ease to continue his dream. Who says hip-hop doesn’t save lives. Being from New York you know Mims has to have an opinion on the current state of hip-hop in the east coast and he answers to how he felt when many thought he was from down south. With the new album out, Music is My Savior, Mims explains why you should give it a listen before criticizing his music and why at the end of the day he wants to be happy."
