Maino

Maino draws from his rugged upbringing on the streets of Bedford-Stuyvesant, representing Brooklyn with increasingly philosophical and wise rhymes while remaining no less imposing than his earliest mixtapes demonstrated. The rapper developed his talent while in prison, writing strictly in his head, and shortly after his release, he became popular on the East Coast mixtape circuit. Supported by major-label Atlantic, he first charted with the taunting "Hi Hater," then hit number 39 on the Billboard Hot 100 with "All the Above," featuring T-Pain. The two hits carried Maino's first proper album, 2009's If Tomorrow Comes... to number 25 on the Billboard 200. After his 2012 follow-up, Maino worked independently and multiplied the length of his mixtape discography over the next decade-plus. In addition to numerous solo tapes, he has teamed with Uncle Murda and Jim Jones on the respective projects Yellow Tape: King Kong & Godzilla (2016) and The Lobby Boyz (2022). He went deeper into the 2020s with the fourth volume of his K.O.B. series (2023) and the seven-track efforts This Life Forever and Mainovation (both 2024). Maino, born Jermaine Coleman, grew up in Brooklyn's Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood in a household with drug-addicted parents. Lacking parental guidance, Coleman kept to the streets and involved himself in petty crime, which landed him in prison in the early '90s. There he learned to rap so that he could deal with boredom and isolation. In 2003, after about ten years, he was released from prison and wasted no time setting up his new imprint, Hustle Hard. Maino enjoyed his first airplay on N.Y.C. radio via Hot 97's DJ Kay Slay and began making several mixtape appearances during the following years. From his own mixtapes, street singles like "Rumors" and "Take It Like a Man" got his name buzzing among major labels, including Universal Motown, who signed him in 2005. However, the deal eventually fell through, since his intended debut album, Death Before Dishonor, was permanently shelved. Nonetheless, Atlantic picked up Maino and his Hustle Hard imprint in 2007, and he quickly issued the street single "My Life Is Like a Movie" that year. "Hi Hater," a track cleverly sampling Brooklyn hip-hop pioneer Jimmy Spicer, surfaced the following year and became Maino's first charting single. It prefaced the album If Tomorrow Comes... and its platinum-selling Top 40 single "All the Above," both released in 2009. The Unstoppable EP landed in 2010 and preceded the rapper's second LP, The Day After Tomorrow, issued in 2011. Two charting singles came from the album, including the Roscoe Dash collaboration "Let It Fly." Both T.I. and Meek Mill were featured on another track, "Cream."With two albums and over a dozen mixtapes to his name, Maino went independent again and remained prolific, releasing at least six more tapes and an EP from 2014 through 2016. The most noteworthy projects included the first three volumes of the K.O.B. ("King of Brooklyn") series and the Uncle Murda collaboration Yellow Tape: King Kong & Godzilla. Titles such as Party & Pain, Jermaine, and On Everything I Love were out before the end of the decade. In the 2020s, Maino was behind Die a Legend, The Lobby Boyz (with Jim Jones), and K.O.B. 4, followed by This Life Forever and Mainovation, seven-track EPs released in 2024. The first of the EPs boasted an appearance from Young Thug on the track "Poetry." Maino sprang back into action in 2025 with the single "Shade Room."
