Artist Overview
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.
