“Hi Hater” was the single that launched him as a national artist, but Maino has been hustling in this game for quite some time. Representing Brooklyn, NY, this hip-hop fanatic turned rapper approaches the game as a student first. “I study the game, I learn from everybody”, he says. And in studying the game, Maino has been able to propel himself forward hoping to fill the gap in hip-hop and ascend the charts to stardom. “I wanted to get in the game in a big way. I want to be able to compete with whatever artist is out there.” However, this is something that NY rappers have struggled to do over the years especially with the Southern take-over. But Maino is determined to put New York back on the map without going back in time. “We can’t relive something, we can’t go backward, we gotta move forward” And Maino isn’t shy about the problems that he faces or the solutions. “I feel like part of the problem with what’s going on in New York now is we don’t produce new artist on a national scale.” Without national attention it’s tough to get any artist’s career, no matter how talented, off the ground. But that’s where the hustle comes in; and Maino does this better than any artist out there. His entertainment company, Hustle Hard Entertainment recently expanded as a publishing company and released its first book last year, “Gangstas Don’t Die” which is written by Maino’s brother Mouse during his incarceration. Maino also released a mixtape this month and was named #15 on MTV.com's '28 In '08: Commercially Released Hip Hop Singles for his hit "Hi Hater". But this “guerilla grinding” doesn’t stop there.
