Originally known as Lil Yo, Yo Gotti (born Mario Mims) made a name for himself during the '90s when he was a teenager. He released his 11th LP, CM10: Free Game, in early 2022. While no one would classify the gruff street hustler as a pop-rapper, Gotti has often achieved gold and platinum status, counting "Down in the DM," the number eight Hot 100 hit "Rake It Up," and "Put a Date on It" among his biggest RIAA-certified singles. Ten years after the North Memphis native debuted on cassette, he first touched the Top Ten of Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart with Back 2 da Basics (2006), and has since strung together Top Ten pop entries including I Am (2013), The Art of Hustle (2016), I Still Am (2017), and Untrapped (2020). Gotti, who signed Sacramento rapper Mozzy at the CMG Press Conference in February, inked rising Memphis artist 10Percent the same month, and just brought on Jacksonville sensation Lil Poppa to the CMG empire in April, is the latest in a string of new signees.Yo Gotti is one of the few rappers who has achieved mainstream success after many years of underground activity and has maintained it well into the 2020s. Moneybagg Yo, 42 Dugg, EST Gee, Mozzy, Blac Youngsta, Blocboy JB, Lil Poppa, Big Boogie, and 10Percent are just a few of the hip-hop artists who have signed to CMG. I can’t wait to share my story with the world and deliver that pure R&B sound for my old and new fans.” “I’ve been grinding for this opportunity for a minute and I’m really excited about this new chapter in my career. “Signing with Gotti and joining the CMG team is a dream come true,” Lehla said. Most notably, Gotti was taken with Lehla’s dramatic vocals, prompting the CMG CEO to fly the emerging star to Miami for a studio session that would forever transform her life and career path.
The covers and remixes helped the Delaware native get over 1.2 million followers on TikTok and 14 million likes to date.
