Artist: Maino
Mixtape: The Last Real Nigga Alive
Living by the motto of his label name Hustle Hard, Maino came out of Jail where he learned to rap straight to New York
mixtape scene not to mention numerous of DVD cameos on the famous Smack series.
Maino then landed himself a record deal with Universal after his tell it like
it is street anthem “Rumors”. After a small stint at Universal with
his project being placed on the shelf both parties went their separate ways.
Not back with a hunger for more Maino brings the streets his latest mixtape The
Last Real Nigga Alive before his debut album hits stores later this year on
Atlantic Records lead by “Be Me” where he explains to everyone that what
you see is what you get! The King of the South T.I. even shows up for a collaboration on “What Ya Gon Do”
and Roc-A-Fella’s latest signee Uncle
Murda “Gun With A Body PT.2 & “Hit Ya Ass Up”. Maino
shows his swagger best by re-doing a New York version of Shawty Lo’s hit street single “Dey Know” featuring Lil Kim & Busta Rhymes where he
spits ” Maino….I keep it
gangster/the side of my face been caught with a razor”. Overall this
mixtape has its up and downs because of a lack of lyrics but I do respect his Hustle
and work ethic. Personally I know a few artist with more talent then him still
searching for their first record deal when he’s on his second Major Deal, Hi
Haters!
