Editorial Reviews

The Big Apple is stuck in a rut of monotony, and most New Yorkers are convinced that the game isn't what it used to be. Maino is here to change that, raised on Nostrand Ave. in the heart of Bed-Stuy Brooklyn, the swagger-rich MC is poised to present a brand new look to hip-hop with his debut Hustle Hard/Atlantic album, If Tomorrow Comes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Maino's 2nd album is another solid 4 star one, July 6, 2009

9 months since his debut "The One And Only" (also a strong 4 star album), Maino returns with another solid album. This one has a little more commercial appeal to it, but he still has his street tracks and nice delivery, that made me like him when I first heard him back in 2005 on some mixtapes. This one has 14 songs, 2 are classics, 3 are ok, the other 9 are good, a few being real good songs. You get deep songs, some street gangsta/hustling tales, and a few radio friendly one's on here. Guests aren't too heavy, rapping on 2 songs and doing the hook on about 5. Production is pretty good as well. GQ Beats, Versatile & Dilemma, Mista Raja all do 2 songs, Swizz Beats, Da Beatstaz, Blast Off, Just BLaze, Justice LEague, Mush Milllions, Chris Styles, Charlemagne all do 1 song. A nice album to have from a very talented rapper.

#1 - 8.5 (f/ Swizz Beats -- upbeat track)
#3 - 9 (f/ Push Montana -- nice beat)
#4 - 8.5 (f/ Bradd Young)
#5 - 9 (f/ BG -- nice beat)
#7 - 7 (f/ T-Pain)
#8 - 8
#10 - 8
#11 - 6
#12 - 8.5
#14 - 9
#15 - 7.5
#16 - 8 (f/ Trey Songs)
#17 - 10 (CLASSIC -- deeper song with tight beat)
#19 - 10 (CLASSIC -- great beat -- f/ Jimmy Starnes)

This CD is set up as if your watching a movie and it paints the picture of what he's going threw and trying to get across to the listener brilliantly. Not to menchine the actual music is great he has a nice flow and his lyrics are far better than the lazy things floating threw the airwaves nowadays. I recomend this cd strongly and I've been waiting for it for a while now since I've heard a few of Maino's mixtapes. Go get this cd or order it you won't be dissapointed.

P.S. Rest in peace to the King of pop Michael Jackson !!!!

I've been following Maino since his mixtape days, trying to come up dissing all the stars. Sounds cliche, but he was original, fearless, and funny. Anyway, I'm glad to see him finally get recognition after all these years. I usually don't buy cd's, but in this case I had to make an exception. I would recommend it to anyone who supports the real artists in hip hop. Considering there are only a few left. I know I didn't get into the album itself, but in short it's a solid cd.
