Mario Mims was born on May 19, 1981, in Memphis, Tennessee, and grew up in the notoriously violent neighborhoods of the Ridge Crest housing projects. His tracks frequently contain explicit sexual content as well as lyrics that depict the perils of living in the ghetto. He was inspired by rap icons such as Three Six Mafia, 8 Ball & MJG, Kingpin Skinny Pimp, Al Kapone, Gangsta Blackhe, and Lil Yo. He made the decision to pursue music and has since released a number of well-known albums, including “From da Dope Game 2 da Rap Game,” “ Self Explanatory,” “Life,” and “I Am.” As a result of coming from a family of hustlers, he began to emulate them.īut after realizing that “Either you hustle till you go to jail or you transition out,” he made the decision to change his ways and become a rapper. He is admired and acknowledged for his rapping prowess throughout the world. He is the underground rap leader and the brightest hip-hop star in Memphis Town at the moment. While both the non-Southern and Southern hip-hop schools of music have had an influence on Yo Gotti’s rapping, the Gangsta style is what he favors and is more prone to. He belongs to the large group of dedicated rappers who emerged from the 1990s Southern hip-hop scene. Yo Gotti is the stage name used by American hip-hop singer Mario Mims.
