At this rate, Maino could have a very big 2014. Anyone checking for the New Yorker has noticed that he’s been very active with new releases, and he returns with another track called “Watch Me Do It,” featuring T.I. and French Montana.
While many complained, Maino vocalized his thoughts on the current landscape of New York City Hip-Hop on “What Happened.” Today, the rapper goes from the soapbox to the small screen, as he finally released a treatment for the record.
Fifteen years ago, N.O.R.E. delivered a hell of a posse cut on behalf of his native New York City via “Banned From T.V.” Today, Hot 97’s Cipha Sounds and Drewski channel that same energy on “Banned From Radio,” featuring Maino, Bodega Bamz, Chinx, Troy Ave, Mack Wilds and City Boy Dee.
Many were “up in arms” after Trinidad Jame$ said, “we run y’all musically,” during a rant about southern Hip-Hop versus the music New York City is producing at a recent Brooklyn show.

We’re seeing the aftermath of the hoopla surrounding statements Trinidad Jame$ made about New York City Hip-Hop at a Brooklyn concert Tuesday (November 12). Just 48 hours later, Maino and others have issued Twitter responses, and now we receive a track from the Atlanta rapper called “L.I.A.A.R.S.”

Maino drops a new cut called “Bet That,” featuring the Wu-Tang Clan’s Raekwon.
Maino‘s insistence on not damaging his Bentley Continental got him arrested. Last month, the rapper was caught driving with a suspended licence and without a licence plate on the front of his ride.
One of the most overused and asked questions in Hip-Hop is, Did New York fall off? Brooklyn rapper Maino addresses the issue on “What Happened,” featuring Jadakiss.

Since the beginning, there have been rappers from the hardest hoods to the plushest suburbs, but there are a few acts that appear to […]
The comedic parody duo ItsTheReal, comprised of Eric and Jeff Rosenthal, have been a fixture in Hip-Hop since 2007, so it’s a wonder that it would take them this long to release an actual musical project.
