Editor's note

MIMS, the mid-2000s rap group with two big hits

A brief but bright moment in hip-hop, anchored by 'This Is Why I'm Hot' and 'Like This'.

If you need to place them, just cue up 'This Is Why I'm Hot' or 'Like This'. That's the sound and the moment they captured.

For a couple of years, you couldn't escape 'This Is Why I'm Hot' or 'Like This' on the radio. Those tracks from their 2007 debut 'Music Is My Savior' had a specific, accessible mix of hip-hop, R&B, and pop that just clicked. They're the reason the name MIMS still rings a bell, even if the group's run was short.

The group formed in the mid-2000s with Shawn Montgomery, Stephen Byrd, Albert Mitchell, and Jerome Campbell. Their 2007 debut brought the hits, but internal conflicts and financial problems slowed things down after their 2009 follow-up 'Guilt'.

Archive material and source history

MIMS was a rap group that formed in the mid-2000s, with Shawn Montgomery using the stage name MIMS. The group included Stephen Byrd (Styliztik Jones), Albert Mitchell (Big Lo), and Jerome Campbell (J-Doe).

Their debut album 'Music Is My Savior' came out in 2007 and featured 'Like This' along with 'This Is Why I'm Hot.' The group's sound mixed hip-hop with R&B and pop elements, creating accessible tracks that found a wide audience. They followed up with a second album called 'Guilt' in 2009.

After their initial success, the group faced internal conflicts and financial problems that affected their momentum. Their second album didn't match the commercial performance of their first. The group's run was relatively brief, but songs like 'Like This' and 'This Is Why I'm Hot' remain recognizable from that period.
