Straight out of the Hollygrove section in New Orleans, Mack Maine is Young Money Entertainment's next up. You may just be hearing about him now with his feature in Lil Wayne and T-Pain's single, Got Money, but Mack has been grinding down south for quite some time. With failed career moves under music impresario Tony Mercedes, as well as under former NBA ballplayer Johnathan Bender, Mack realized making it on his own was easier said than done. He finally got a break when he rapped his way to MTV in a battle competition, and even landed on BET's Rated Next with a leaked song he'd recorded, garnering the attention of a long-time friend from the neighborhood, Lil Wayne.
Wayne and Mack had ties going back for years, even having traveled together in the days of the Hot Boys, but Wayne had never known the talent Mack possessed until seeing him on BET. From there it was on, and Mack became the newest member of the Young Money imprint.
Since the moment Mack got with YM, he's been featured on dozens of mixtapes with Weezy and the team. Fan favorites such as the Knuck if You Buck freestyle (think "Young Maine for president, I'd prolly paint the White House black if it was my residence..."), Ride with the Mack, and Welcome to the Zoo have garnered him much attention and his name slowly but surely is becoming the talk of the town.
Along with his own mixtapes he's put out, including Freestyle 101 and Bitch I'm Mack Maine, Mack has proven he could hold his own next to the "greatest rapper alive." With his video debut in Lil Wayne's new single, Got Money, things are only going up from here. He's patiently waited in the wings for his turn, and now he's ready to blow.
MACK MAINE, How are you doing? I am happy we are friends. Stop by from time to time and keep me posted on your happenings. I will do the same. Don't be a stranger, stop by my music profile and listen to my songs..
