MIMS “Move (If You Wanna)”
The minute MIMS‘ uber-smash introduction “This Is Why I’m Hot” made it’s way to the top of the Pop singles chart and started being goofily mimicked by all of thirty-something-plus suburbia, the NYC newcomer’s status seemed to quickly morph from promising rap newcomer to one-hit wonder punchline.
Apparently, though, MIMS isn’t ready to simply fall off the edge of memory or be this decade’s version of Skee-Lo, making an enticing return with a record that makes a better case in proving (rather than endlessly stating) why he’s, indeed, “hot”.
“Move (If You Wanna)” is the first official single from his upcoming Guilt, and it’s a stunner, immediately awakening the senses with it’s minimalist bass and snare rumblings and a soft/ loud vocal gimmick reminiscent of Busta Rhyme’s “Touch It”.
With crosshairs fixed on the much-targeted anonymous “hater”, MIMS riddles out an uzi spray of tough talk one-liners (Sample: “Get you Biz-Marked up, turn you into vapors/ If you got a problem, get you swallowed like a chaser”) to get boots shaking. And while none of them really make strides in believably defining him as an intimidating force, their simplistic, Rhyming-101 attacks against the trash-can banging production do enough to draw your undivided attention, helping re-establish the once-dismissed idea that this cat might actually have some staying power.
Guilt is set for an April 7th release.
