Mims graduated High School and enrolled at Nassau Community College. He left the institution after a mere two months of classes to pursue a career in rap music. He began spending time in Harlem with Cam'ron as an acquaintance. In 2001, he was discovered by Quincy S/Duq Entertainment and soon after featured on a Canadian compilation entitled Private Party Collectors Edition Vol. 2, by Baby Blue Soundcrew. His guest appearance on the single "Love Em' All", alongside Choclair, enabled him to be recognized in Canada. The music video was nominated for a MMVA award. This song was never officially released in the United States. Mims also released his own single entitled "L.O.V.E." which was commercially unsuccessful.
Soon after his recognition in Canada, he would gain connections with Blackout Movement. He would release his first U.S. Single, "I Did You Wrong" gaining modest momemtum across the United States. This would not be enough to finalize a legitimate record deal for the artist. In 2006, He began to record tracks for Latin hip hop label Urban Box Office. He decided that it would be in his best interests to structure his own label situation. He would create American King Music alongside business partners Corey Llewellyn & Erik Mendelson.
Mims released "This Is Why I'm Hot" which gained respectable momemtum across the country as a direct result of his immediate camp and company. This created much attention for Mims as labels that had previously turned him down began to show interest. Following meetings with EMI mainly Capitol Records, Mims decided to sign his American King Music imprint with the company in November of 2006.
He immediately began to work on his debut album, Music Is My Savior emphasizing that Capitol Records understood him and his aspirations. During the summer of 2007, Mims released his second single, "Like This. The song became a minor hit on the radio. Also released from the album was "Just Like That.
Mims released his second effort on April 7, 2009, titled "Guilt". In October 2008, "Move (If You Wanna)" became the first official single from Mims' new album, peaking at #63 on the Hot 100 charts. The second single was released to radio alongside his album on April 7, 2009, entitled "Love Rollercoaster" featuring LeToya Luckett.

MIMS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When we do what we do
Uh, yeah
Look
If good girls get down on the floor
Tell me, how low will a bad girl go?
She probably pick it up, drop it down real slow
That's when I grab the knot throw it up in the sky
Let it come down slow, watch it all fly
Front to the back
Then side to the side
Can we head back to my crib for the night?
That's how it goes down
All night long
She whispers in my ear, says she loves my song
This is why I'm hot
She got it on her phone
Top ring download, number one ring tone
I'm in my zone
Tell me, what's good, what it be?
Can't say I'm what ya want
I got what ya need
All night, it's all right
We can dance, but ya gotta keep it up a lil' somethin'
Like this, like this, like this, like this
Like this, like this, like this, like this
Baby, do you want it?
Like this, like this, like this, like this
Like this, like this, like this
Girl, tell me if you want it like this
If you want to, you can back it up
You say you like it rough; won't you let me smack it up?
Calm on you a**; that's if you let me touch
I don't care 'bout your breast
You can be an A-cup
I know what I like
And, baby, that's below the waist
I'm a baller, baby; I'll hold us safe
I got about ten lawyers to blow the case
So we don't gotta worry 'bout those who hate
I'm like the 2007 Nino
Dropped a few G's
I'm a shaped like Gino
Homey, don't act like you know what I mean
Oh, see, I'm the freshest m********* on the screen, oh
Back of the club
All night long
Grand Monea
Pop a case till the dawn
Shorty says she love it when I let her call me Sean

Go a little lower
Now, baby, beat it up, like Rocky Balboa
Yeah, that's what I said

The song "Like This" by Mims is a sexually charged party anthem that celebrates the wild and reckless behavior of young adults. The lyrics are provocative and often explicit, using language and imagery that is designed to shock and excite the listener. The song begins with a question about how low a bad girl will go, and then describes the raunchy and erotic behavior that is expected in this culture. The singer is a confident and successful man who can afford the finest things and indulge in the wildest pleasures. He's looking for a partner who can keep up with him, and he promises to reward her with lavish gifts and a wild night of sex and dancing.
Throughout the song, the lyrics emphasize the physicality of the encounter, with frequent references to the female body and its various parts. There is a sense of objectification and domination, as the singer tells the woman what he wants and demands that she comply. However, there is also a sense of mutual pleasure, as the two parties engage in a consensual and enthusiastic experience.
Overall, "Like This" is a celebration of hedonism and excess, depicting a world where anything is possible and pleasure is the ultimate goal. The lyrics are designed to provoke and stimulate, inviting the listener to join in the wild and uninhibited fun.

Mims is one of the few simple rappers i liked a lot back in the day. He didn't have complex rhyme schemes, but his flow and production made up for it. I bought this album. It was pretty smoothe.
