Though Gotti is significantly older than the second wave of Grind City MCs, those qualities have made him as much a peer to Young Dolph, Key Glock, and Duke Deuce as he is an influence. He proudly repped that cred on his noisy, mean-mugging 2000 debut, From Da Dope Game 2 Da Rap Game, but by the time Gotti released 2015's “Down in the DM”-a smirking take on bawdy social-media flirting-he’d fully owned a persona that’s also playful, irreverent, and of-the-moment. Though he emerged shortly after Three 6 Mafia’s hyper-regional horrorcore stylings won national acclaim in 1995, Gotti executed a Southern sound more widely appealing-assured and charismatic, yet capturing the gloom that clouds a street hustler’s life. Born Mario Mims in 1981, Gotti witnessed his hometown’s rap coming-of-age, and arrived career-wise in time to amplify that revolution. He puts in the work through rich storytelling, guttural beats, and deft lyricism whether he’s recalling his rough childhood or his latest online fling. “This Project was made for a purpose, it’s Called “Free Game” it’s to give u messages & tell u Da experience of a Young Hustla Dat come from da Hood but ended up in a position no one Expected him to be in,” Gotti wrote in the caption.Yo Gotti is shaping the sound of Memphis in his own image, one track at a time. The revered mixtape series from the CMG boss will see a tenth entry that he will split into two different albums titled Free and Game. In the caption, Gotti revealed the teaser was the official announcement of his upcoming project, CM10. Fans get to see the covers of his earlier mixtapes when he went by Lil Yo and other archival footage. In the trailer shared on his Instagram, Yo Gotti and his team assembled a video montage of his come-up from a local Memphis, Tennessee rapper to a big-name superstar. On Tuesday (November 16), Yo Gotti took to his Instagram to announce his upcoming project, which will bring a smile to the faces of die-hard fans.
Yo Gotti has been busy being a label executive running the show at Collective Music Group, but it looks like he’s ready to get back on the rapper side of things.
