Maino was released from jail a couple years ago, and he started to drop mixtapes right away. He was one of the first New York rappers in a long while that actually achieved a little commercial success. The South has seemed to dominate and New York has been greatly minimized. Maino had the excellent hit "All The Above" with T-Pain (which I played over and over, especially the remix with Young Jeezy).
Maino has had many a mixtape. One of my favorites was with DJ Keyz, titled "Prince Of The City". Maino has a gruff style and he keeps it real in his rhymes. Hopefully with the release of his second album, he will gain greater commercial success and bring some attention back to NY.
