Gimsum Family (1994)

Gimisum Family – Part #1 (1994)

The first-ever tape from the Gimisum Family, this rare release captures an early, gritty chapter in Memphis rap history. Dropping shortly after Smoked Out Loced Out by Three 6 Mafia—and either right before or just after Lady Bee’s debut—this project showcases the early foundation of the Gimisum sound. While it’s hard to confirm the exact origins or whether this copy is an original pressing, the quality and format make it a standout relic. An underground essential from one of Memphis rap’s most prolific pioneers, Gimsum Family #1 captures Skinny Pimp in his early prime—raw, energetic, and surrounded by a tight crew of collaborators. This tape represents the first in what would become a string of projects under the Gimsum Family name, showcasing not just Skinny’s lyrical aggression and street storytelling, but also the grimy beats and lo-fi charm that defined the era. Released in 1994, this project comes right as the Memphis underground scene was exploding with creativity and tape-trading energy. You can hear the hunger and hostility in every verse, and the chemistry between featured artists cements this tape as a classic piece of regional rap history.
