Millz was born in Harlem, Manhattan, New York City. His rapping abilities gained him a spot on a DJ Kay Slay mixtape. Millz gained popularity in mixtape battles (most notably against Murda Mook,ty streetz, Sire Castro, and E-Ness). Millz' underground popularity earned him a recording deal with Wanna Blow Ent.
Jae Millz was the first artist signed to Tone & Nige's Wanna Blow Ent. label. Due to the hype surrounding Jae in late 2003, Wanna Blow signed a distribution deal with Warner Bros. Records. Despite the popularity and hype, Warner Bros. failed to deliver an album, leading to Jae Millz and Wanna Blow departing the label. They immediately reached a deal with SRC Records and Universal Records
Due to a lack of promotion of his music, Jae Millz and the Wanna Blow camp would leave SRC Records and Universal Records.

This is why I'm hot[x2]
This is why[x2] uh
This is why I'm hot (uh)
This is why I'm hot[x2] whoo
This is why[x2]
This is why I'm hot
You ain't coz you're not (mims)
This is why [x2]
This is why I'm hot[x2]
[Verse 1:]
This is why I'm hot
I dont gotta rap
I can sell a mill sell you nothing on the track
I represent New York
I got it on my back
And they say that we lost it
So I'mma bring it back
I love the dirty dirty
Coz niggas show me love
The ladies start to bounce
As soon as I hit the club
But in the Midwest
They love to take it slow
So when I hit the H
I watch you get it on the floor
And if you needed hyphy
I take it to the bay
Frisco to Sac town
They do it eryday
Coppin a Hollywood
As soon as I hit LA
I'm in that low low
I do it the cali way
And when I hit the Chi
People say that I'm fly
They like the way I dress they like (they like my) my attire
Move crowds from side to side
They ask me how I do it and simply I reply
[Chorus]
[Verse 2:]
This is why I'm hot
Catch me on the block
Every other day
Another bitch another drop
16 bars, 24 pop
44 songs, nigga gimme what you got
I'm in there driving cars
Push them off the lot
I'm into shutting stores down so I can shop
If you need a bird I can get it chopped
Tell ne what you need you know I get 'em by the flock
I call my hommie black meet me on the ave
I hit wash heights with the money in the bag
We into big spinners
See my pimping never dragged
Find me with different women that you niggas never had
For those who say they know me know I'm focused on my cream
Playa you come between you'd better focus on the beam
I keep it so feen the way you see me lean
And when I say I'm hot my nigga this is what I mean
[Chorus]
[Verse 3:]
This is why I'm hot
Shorty see the drop
Ask me what I paid and I say yeah I paid a ?quap?
And then I hit the switch that take away the top
So chicks around the way they call me cream of the crop
They hop in the car
I tell them all about
We hit the studio they say they like the way I record
I gave you black train and I did you wrong
So everytime I see them and they tell me that's their song
They say I'm the bomb
They love the way the charm hanging from the neck
And compliments the arm which compliments the ear then comes the gear
So when I hit the room the shorties stop and stare
Then niggas start to hate rearrange their face
Little do they know I keep them things by waistside
I reply nobody gotta die
Similar to lil wiz coz I got the fire
[Chorus]

By far one of the most elevated works of the 21st century. The thesis of this piece is these two statements:
1) I am hot because I am fly
2) You ain't because you not*
*notice how he doesn't specify if you ain't (fly) because you ain't (hot) or you ain't (hot) because you ain't (fly). I think he's implying that flyness implies hotness and vice-versa, therefore the statement (hot)' <--> (fly)' is a tautology.
This of course immediately raises several philosophical questions.
-If someone is fly and no one is around to see it, are they still hot?
-Is this why penguins cannot fly, because they are not hot enough? If we became hotter, could we naturally develop the power of flight?
-How does one acquire flyness? Are they born with it? Is Mims saying that the categorization of people as "hot" or "not hot" is some form of new-age discrimination?
I am a mere mortal and will of course never understand the complexities of Mims' mind because he is on a higher plane of enlightenment than I. I can only marvel at the ingenuity of the absolute masterpiece of the ages. Well done, sir. Shakespeare would have put his pen down and never wrote again.
@CollinAbroadcast
He's hot cause he's fly? I ain't cause I'm not?
@MultiGotch
