Jermaine Coleman, better known by his stage name Maino, is an American rapper from Brooklyn, New York City, New York.
In 2003, Maino was released from prison after a 10 year sentence for a drug related kidnapping. He founded the independent label Hustle Hard and started to record music. In 2005, he was signed to Universal Records and started recording his debut album Death Before Dishonor. However, Maino was dropped from the label and his album was shelved. Maino began hitting the New York streets with mixtapes such as The Hand of God, Brooklyn's Don, Hard Hustle, We Hustle Harder Than You, The Last Real Nigga, Keys to the City, etc. He built a massive buzz until he signed his Hustle Hard label as an imprint on Atlantic Records, and began to release more significant mixtapes such as Maino Is The Future, Black Flag City (The New Religion), etc. Eventually Maino released his debut album, If Tomorrow Comes in 2009 with the 2 successful singles, Hi Hater and All The Above ft. T-Pain. Maino has since released Unstoppable: the Mixtape and Unstoppable: the EP as precursors to his upcoming 2nd album, The Day After Tomorrow, which is due late 2010.

It's alright y'all haters, it's nothing, we major
You see me, hi hater, hi hater, hi hater
You see me, hi hater, hi hater, hi hater
You see me, hi hater
Yeah, dolla bills y'all, lotta bills y'all
New year tryna touch me a mill y'all
When you shine all these haters wanna talk down
I don't feel a way by what a nigga say
It's alright love, I let a hater hate
Pull up on them see them paper plate
See da oyster perpetuate day today
It's a fact right niggas act trife
How they smile in your face then they back bite
I just laugh right, make em' mad like
Watch them turn around and say he ain't that nice
Getting bread dough, mad head hoe
Seems like they don't love you till you dead, yo
Let em' talk dog it, don't phase me
It might not be right if they don't hate me
Hustle hard stack paper
It's alright y'all haters, it's nothing, we major

You see me, hi hater, hi hater, hi hater
You see me, hi hater, hi hater, hi hater

Still G's up, they won't ease up
We're still gangsters and the haters won't stop
It's cool, niggas hated on Jesus
Even Jesus was hated on, so it's okay if people hate on me
Can't tell 'em nuttin', niggas say I'm stuntin'
You can't teach some people anything and they accuse me of showing off
When they hate on you, then you know you doin' somethin'
If people are hating on you, it means you are doing something right
