Yo Gotti (his real name is Mario Mims) was born in 1981, May 19 in Memphis, Tennessee. The musician did not have a great career at first but his wish to make it in the world of music was simply too great not to be able to achieve. He tried looking for different ways to make himself a known rapper but it seemed like nothing was working out. After contemplating for a while Gotti came up with an idea to produce as many independent albums and track and get attention this way. The idea was a good one and give the artist some following but was still not enough to make it in the big world. Since the rapper did not have a lot of money he decided to stay in his hometown and perform in underground venues hoping to get some exposure and recognition from the fans of hip-hop. The idea was great and Gotti started to get a more regular following and was looking to make his breakthrough in the mainstream world of hip-hop music. After hard work and dedication his dream became a reality and the author is now one of the biggest names in the music industry and his brand is recognized all over the United States of America.

The rapper began his career as a musician in the year 2000. When he was 14 years old Gotti called himself Lil Yo and was running with his crew.

It sold over 35 thousand copies in the United States in less than a month since the release.
