Is Yo Gotti more than just a rapper? He's a mogul, a Memphis icon, and a testament to the power of relentless hustle and strategic vision. From the raw streets of Memphis to the Billboard charts, the story of Yo Gotti, born Mario Mims, and his Collective Music Group (CMG) is a compelling saga of ambition, resilience, and the complexities of loyalty.

You likely recognize CMGs roster through its constellation of rising stars: Moneybagg Yo, EST Gee, and 42 Dugg, each a testament to Yo Gottis eye for talent and his understanding of the contemporary hip-hop landscape. But behind the chart-topping hits and the sold-out shows lies a narrative woven with personal tragedy, legal battles, and the ever-present shadows of the streets that shaped him.
