Solid album from a great rapper

"I have heard Maino over the last few years on some other albums and mixtapes, in all I had about 16 songs with him on them, and no doubt he is one of the top rappers that has come out in the last few years, and drops a nice album here. Though it is a solid 4 star album, he definitely has 4.5 or 5 star potential. With 15 songs on here, the Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn native drops 2 classics, 4 ok songs, and the other 9 are good, some being real good. Guests aren't too heavy, only on 4 of the 15 songs. No production credits are given, and for the most part it's a decent job. A nice album to pick up from one of the more talented newer rappers out in the game.

"Maino is a up and comming rapper from Brooklyn,NY. I have 3 mixtapes by him includeing this one and I have yet to hear one single song, verse, or rhym at all that I don't like. He is by far one of the best rappers I have ever heard. I'm bold enough to put him in the same company as Biggie, Pac and Jay Z. He is going to put NY back on the map in a major way when it comes to rap music. I recomend this cd to any hardcore rap fan. Give him a chance he may suprise you."
