Album Notes
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.
Industry Reviews
Mims' quick, confident style recalls Jay-Z's mid-'90s blinged-out phase -- not a bad starting point... -- Grade: B
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.
