Jermaine John Coleman, better known by his stage name Maino, is an American rapper hailing from Brooklyn, New York. Maino's journey into the hip-hop industry is one marked by resilience; after serving a ten-year prison sentence, he turned to music as a form of expression and a way to carve out a new path in life. His official debut came in 2003 with the release of his first mixtape, but it wasn't until 2009 that he broke into mainstream recognition with his debut album, "If Tomorrow Comes..." and the hit single "Hi Hater," which became an anthem for brushing off critics.

Over the years, Maino has established himself as a consistent figure in the hip-hop scene, known for his hard-hitting lyrics and the authenticity of his street narratives. Titles like "K.O.B. (King of Brooklyn)" reflect his self-proclaimed standing in the New York rap hierarchy. His later works, including "K.O.B. 4" and its deluxe edition, as well as singles like "We Made It" and "For My City," showcase his enduring passion for music and his commitment to representing his roots and experiences. With a catalog that spans over a decade in the industry, Maino's music continues to resonate with fans who appreciate his steadfast dedication to authenticity and his embodiment of the grit and spirit of Brooklyn.
