A complete artist is the sum of many parts and for Mannie Mims, the rich fabric of his upbringing is laced with the swagger of his adopted homeland. Born and raised in Ghana West Africa, his Ashanti heritage, combined with life in Italy before arriving on the British scene, has embedded a unique set of musical influences that resonates with audiences everywhere.
From Afrobeat, Dancehall, Rap, Grime, Drill, Hip Hop and beyond, his music delivers on every front with the bounce of Ghana which is never forgotten. Marking his UK arrival in 2019 with his debut release Made in Kumasi, Mannie announced to the world how deeply versatile an artist he is.  Six tracks that lit a fire on the streets as much as it did in the clubs, it featured six tracks nestled in a bit of Rude Boi culture, that hint of Ghanian rhythms, mixed with an authentic lyrical flow that is as addictive as it is original. From the opening Psalm 23 to the closing of Hwe Ne Jon with Prana Z and MAX Mannie, Mannie was indicating to the world that his view of a life well-travelled was something everyone could buy into.
The pandemic however had a say in what happened next, and the enforced isolation meant that he took a break from the recording industry. But that is all set to change. Storming back onto the scene with his latest release Licki Licki, the bounce is back in his step and supported by a tropical vibe that sets him apart as a recording artist.
Featuring some signature cheek and chat, Mannie is beginning his journey anew and breaking new ground with every step he takes. With more tracks in the bag about to drop on the game, the world is ready to receive him once again. Telling his own truths in a style that migrates between the melodic to a hard-hitting rap style, it is the variety and complexity of his delivery that plants a remarkable flag for a career which is destined to flourish in an industry in search of new and exciting talent.
Roll out and discover the work of Mannie Mims. He walks both sides of the street producing music that is instantly recognizable and highly original. Grab a bit of Africa and plunge into the UK scene with Mannie as your guide. The carousel is spinning and you won’t want to get off.
