Gims

Hip hop
Hip hopRhythm and blues

Gims is a Hip hop and Rhythm and blues act. Their sound grew out of Dadju, Youssoupha and Papa Wemba. Those roots explain a lot about how Gims arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Black M, Dadju, Soprano, Kendji Girac and PLK, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Koma, Vitaa, Kendji Girac, Sia and Pitbull, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 25 connections around Gims, reaching back through Dadju and forward to Koma. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
