Rapper Maino is set to give fans a behind-the-scenes look at his rise in hip-hop with the upcoming documentary Unstoppable set to be released tomorrow (June 9).

Maino explained the film’s focus on the adversity he has faced and his struggles to overcome all obstacles.

“A lot of industry people didn’t believe in me when I first started pounding the streets,” he said via a statement. “Many said I wouldn’t make it off of mixtapes, now look…my album is dropping June 30th. Haters inspired me to write my last two hit records. Unstoppable is the story of my life and struggles to get to the position I’m in now. I had a rough life growing up and nothing ever happened the way it was supposed to happen to me, so I’m accustomed to being turned down.” (Statement)

Focusing on his humble beginnings up until his “Hi Hater” fame, the doc will reportedly be a no-holds barred look into the New York rapper’s back story.

Maino grew up in an environment where selling drugs was more of a way of life than a criminal offense. Nickel and dimes eventually turned into handling weight and Maino’s fun in the streets was cut short when he was convicted of a drug related kidnapping and sentenced to 10 years in prison. While in prison, Maino sought the rap game as his gateway out of the hood. By the time he was released in 2003, he had mastered the rap techniques so much, that he began to embark on a mission to become The next rising rapper from Brooklyn.

Ernie reports “Maino recently came out to White House Night Club in Hampton Bays, NY (Long Island) on saturday 4/2 … He performed his hit songs but, when he got to performing “All the Above” he became overly emotional on stage and even began sobbing-almost. Very pure moment

Editor’s Note: If you can make out the audio, Maino says he just found out his right hand man recently got shot by NYPD and he might not walk again. I’m guessing the frustration from not being able to get no get get back is a very overwhelming emotion.

While Hip Hop’s bloggerati descended to the Lone Star State to cover the closest thing that we have to Woodstock these days, the biggest story in Hip Hop made a pit stop in New York.  Nipsey Hussle rolled into town on the GAME’s LAX tour.  Now, just in case the irony was lost on you, here you have a Rolling 60 Crip on tour with two devout Bloods, The Game & Jay-Rock.  Not only has the South Central wordsmith been defying logic and shattering stereotypes but he happens to be spitting unprecedented FIRE.  This is the latest offering, the remix to the critically acclaimed “HUSSLE IN THE HOUSE.” Nipsey teams up with Jay-Rock and Brooklyn’s own Maino.  If you listen to the outdated pundits he’s not suppose to be collabin’ with either one of these dudes, but as Nip continues to prove there is a new movement emerging out the West.  Tell us what you think about this track.
