UK pressing of the Hip Hop star's 2007 debut features one bonus track: 'This Is Why I'm Hot' (Rock Mix). When it comes to Hip Hop culture, uptown New York City has been home to many urban trends that have impacted the world with Harlem being its most prominent contributor. But if you were to ask Washington Heights-based rapper Shawn Mims, known simply to the Hip Hop world as MIMS, his upper Manhattan neighborhood located slightly above world-renowned Harlem USA is about to be stamped into Hip Hop's consciousness with his brand of melodic, accessible flows and sincere lyricism. MIMS has caused quite a stir not only in his hometown but across the country. And with the debut album "Music Is My Savior", released by label Powerhouse EMI Capitol Records and his imprint American King Music, the entire Hip Hop community will find out what Washington Heights heads and his loyal and growing fan base have known for a while.
