This week on A Waste of Time with ItsTheReal, we link back up with our friend Maino! The King of Brooklyn himself stopped by the Upper West Side to go through his unfathomable and amazing journey from committing crimes on the streets of Bed Stuy as a middle schooler, to growing up in jail, his years in solitary confinement, committing to rap, working alongside Lil Kim, surviving being dropped from a major record label, recording anthems with Just Blaze and Swizz Beatz, to traveling the world over as a professional artist. All that, plus stories about 50 Cent, Nelly, T.I., and for the first time ever, Maino reveals where the inspiration for Hi Hater came from. This episode is a MUST LISTEN.
