The Autobiography

The Autobiography is the second studio album from Mims. It is to be released in June of 2008 in the United States. The Autobiography is the first album in Mims' new deal with Geffen Records. The album features production from Blackout Movement, Mims & American King Productions, Just Blaze, and D. Baker. Guest appearances include Jay-Z, Kimi, Sean Kingston, Red Cafe, and N.O.R.E. among others.

Concept
After the critical failure, Mims decided to go back into the studio and record a more personal album. He first announced the album in September 2007, and released the first single from the album, "Like This (remix)" featuring Sha Dirty, Sean Kingston, Red Cafe, and N.O.R.E.. Also on the album, Mims said that he had something to say to his many critics about his lyrical ability. He said that he wanted to tell the story of his life on this album. In December 2007, he announced the album's title would be 'The Autobiography' as it would be the story of his life. Mims originally announced that he wanted no guest appearances besides maybe a few samples. He would later say he wanted an album of commercial appeal and wanted to promote the artists on his American King Music record label. Finally, he decided to combine the two ideas and have a commercial sounding album with the rhymes that detail his entire life on one CD.

Tour
In order to promote the album, Mims has stated that Geffen Records behind Universal Music Group have set up a worldwide tour headed by Mims and his artists signed to American King. The tour is to begin in July of 2008 after the album's June release.

Recording Sessions
The album was recorded at American King Studios in New York City. He has been recording at this studio since September 2007. He went in with D. Baker and they laid down a track that is to be featured on the album.

Guests
As of April 2008, guest appearances are set to come from American King rapper, Class The King, Sha Dirty, Sean Kingston, Red Cafe, N.O.R.E., Pitbull, Currensy, Kimi, Jay-Z, Jae Millz, and Remy Ma. The collaboration with Jae Millz comes after the teo had a brief feud with each other.

Production
Like his last album, Mims is working with his longtime collaborators, Blackout Movement. Also, he now has his own in-house production team, Mims & American King Productions. The production team Doe Boys also provide production for one track on the album. DJ Nasty produces a song on the album and D. Baker and Team Getosoul produce a song on the album.
