Maino - “Let’s Make A Movie” Video

Tomorrow has come and gone, but Maino continues to soldier on. On his slept-on debut, this was one of the songs that didn’t seem to fit the overall theme of the album. But after seeing this it seems to fit in a little better. It’s not a love song, It’s a thug (strip) club song.

“Remember My Name” - Review Of Maino’s If Tomorrow Comes…

As far as back story’s go, Maino’s definitely is one of the most interesting from a new rapper since 50 Cent. Jailed for kidnapping at the age of 16 and locked up for 10 years, he’s got the credentials most gangsta rappers could only dream of. So upon entering the rap game, it’d almost be...

Event Recap: The 2009 BET Awards

Approximately three weeks ago on a Monday morning, I emailed Xilla (’Nuff Respect!) to ask him a question.
