One of the best underground rappers in 2010 is from North Memphis, Tennessee. He goes by the stage name of Yo Gotti, although his actual name is Mario Mims. He has been selling music independently for a long time and has had to come to terms with the fact that he needs to put his heart and soul into music in order to succeed. He has shared his personal life stories on the microphone with people that are willing to take a listen. There have been plenty of record labels that have been giving him attention and exposure due to the fact that he has become very popular with rap music fans.
When he was a child, he saw and experienced a lot of difficult situations that most people would not ever have to deal with. He grew up in the projects of Ridge Crest out in Memphis and has dealt with a lot of violence. Going through a lot of stress as a child actually strengthened him and gave him a lot more motivation to succeed and create a better life. He saw that there was more to life than coming from a poor environment and staying there his whole life. His musical journey has been exceptional. When he first began promoting his own music, he sold mixtapes and albums out of the trunk of his car.
Surprisingly, he ended up selling thousands upon thousands of copies on an independent basis. In the streets, he is regarded as a legend and looked upon as a very authentic person. There are a lot of rappers these days that promote gimmicky singles and try to make music that does not actually reflect their lives. Artists like Yo Gotti realize that if you are being one hundred percent real and trying your best to make quality songs, people are going to support your movement.
Due to the fact that Memphis is known for a diverse musical presence, Gotti always tries to obtain original production for each and every one of his songs. He has a knack for selecting great beats and is considered one of the best lyricists in hip hop music industry today. As a young adult he listened to a wide variety of rap music which he very much liked. Other musicians from Tennessee like 8 Ball, M.J.G., and Young Buck were starting to receive high praise in the game. As time passed, people began realizing how good Yo Gotti is at making music. He has since signed to several record labels and put out some great albums.
Working with superstars like Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Trina, and Gucci Mane have helped get him more fans. It seems as though with each song he makes, Yo Gotti attracts a bigger audience and more people wanting to go to his shows. In 2010, he is slated to release the album “Live From The Kitchen,” which will surely be a street classic.
