| Mims (A.K.A. Sean Mims) delivers his debut album with "Music Is My Saviour". The New York rapper provides a sixteen track release which features guest appearances from J.Holiday, Bun B, Bad Seed, Letoya Luckett, purple popcorn, Cham, Junior Reid. The album's lead single is "This Is Why I'M Hot" a commercial hit which has been getting a lot of play on the radio. I will be honest in saying that this song disgusts me, weak lyrics, repetitive beat and a pathetic chorus. I disliked this song the first time I heard it, and would be happy to never hear it again.The album's second single "It's Alright" has Mims rhyming over a bouncy beat, with his best Jay-Z imitation. Mims keeps the braggy lyrics going on "Girlfriends Fav MC" which features singer J. Holiday. Mims then flips the script and delivers a heartfelt cut with "Where I belong", first decent track in my opinion. Midway things go more downhill with Mims providing a lot of subpar material. Singer Letoya Luckett laces the love track "Without You" with some smooth vocals, while Mims does his best Fabolous imitation. Mims talks about being fly on "Superman" in a track that never gets off the ground. The "This Is Why I'M Hot" (Remix) feat. appearances from Jamaican dance hall artists Cham and Junior Reid. Mims does his shoutouts to his family and friends on "Don't Cry'. The bonus track "I Did You Wrong" closes off this release. "Music is My Saviour" is most likely the last Mims album I will ever review - garbage music -potential nomination for worst album of 2007. |
