My Take

Anyone repping Memphis rap earns my respect on principle, and Yo Gotti, born Mario Mims in 1981, has more than earned it. What grabs me is the grind: five independent albums starting in 1996, building a name on his own before a label ever came calling. That's a self-made artist who kicked the door open rather than waiting to be discovered. Now operating as a music executive as well as a rapper, he's parlayed street credibility into real business savvy. I trust the artist who built something tangible over the all-talk star every time, and Gotti is the genuine article.
