User:Jugis/Yo Gotti

Mario Mims (known as Yo Gotti) is an American rapper from the Ridgecrest Projects in Memphis, Tennessee. He was formerly known as Lil Yo in the 1990's.

Stage Name
He chose the stage name Yo Gotti by naming himself after John Gotti. This is ironic as John Gotti was not very fond of African-Americans, having been seen on video saying "Being a nigger is an embarrassment".

Music
The underground rapper released a tape under Kingpin Skinny Pimp's label Gimisum in 1994, along with another tape with Litegreen records in 1995. He was featured on numerous underground tapes with DJ Sound and his group the Frayser Click in that time.
