Artist & Song Information
"This Is Why I'm Hot" is the debut single by American rapper MIMS, released on January 23, 2007, as part of his first album, Music Is My Savior. The track captures the essence of mid-2000s hip-hop with its minimalist beat and catchy hook. It became a commercial success, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in March 2007 and earning a Platinum certification from the RIAA.
"Like This," MIMS' second single from Music Is My Savior, was released in April 2007. The song features J. Holiday on the hook. His smooth vocals added a layer of R&B influence, giving the track cross-genre appeal. It peaked at #32 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reached the top 10 on the Hot Rap Tracks chart.
