Mack Maine
Jermaine Anthony Preyan (born January 15, 1982), better known by his stage name Mack Maine, is an American record executive, songwriter, and rapper from New Orleans, Louisiana. A longtime collaborator of fellow New Orleans-rapper Lil Wayne, Preyan has served as president of Young Money Entertainment since 2009 and has co-written several of Wayne's singles — including "How to Love", "Got Money", "No Worries" and "It's Good", among others.
As a recording artist, Preyan performed on Young Money's 2009 single "Every Girl" and Rich Gang's 2013 single "Tapout", which peaked at numbers 10 and 44 on the Billboard Hot 100, respectively. He released two compilation albums with the former—We Are Young Money (2009) and Young Money: Rise of an Empire (2014)—and one with the latter—Rich Gang (2013). His 2009 debut single, "Throw It Back" (featuring Lil Wayne), failed to chart. His guest appearance on Wayne's 2018 song "Start This Shit Off Right" remains his sole entry on the chart as a recording act. He founded his own record label, Soothe Your Soul Records in 2008.
Preyan has also co-written severally for other artists or Wayne's collaborators, often in tandem with record producer Ke'noe; his credits include "Dreams and Nightmares" by Meek Mill and "So Sophisticated" by Rick Ross.
Jermaine Anthony Preyan was born in New Orleans, Louisiana. He formed a friendship with Lil Wayne at the age of eleven. He and Lil Wayne, along with rapper Curren$y and Cortez Bryant attended Eleanor McMain Secondary School.[citation needed]
In 2003, he placed 16th out of a thousand contestants in a freestyle battle hosted by MTV; this, combined with a backstage performance at the 2004 BET Awards with Cassidy, led him to becoming a founding member of Young Money Entertainment with Lil Wayne in 2005. In 2008, Mack Maine appeared on the official remix of Lil Wayne's third single from Tha Carter III, "Got Money," and performed the song with Wayne on Saturday Night Live on September 14. At the 2008 Ozone Awards, he won the "Patiently Waiting: Louisiana" award.
In 2009, he performed with Lil Wayne on his "I Am Music" tour, performing every night in his own set, as well as mtvU's Spring Break 2009 concert. He also released a mixtape presented by Don Cannon entitled This Is Just a Mixtape, featuring appearances from Lil Wayne, Mistah Fab, Gorilla Zoe, Pleasure P, Rick Ross, Mystikal, and Soulja Slim. Mack Maine appears on the Young Money collaboration album, including the first single, "Every Girl". Along with Birdman, Slim, Cortez Bryant, and other past and present Cash Money artists, he starred in Lil Wayne's Behind the Music episode, which premiered September 11, 2009.[citation needed]
In March 2010, Mack Maine appeared with Snoop Dogg on T-Pain's single, "Ghetto Commandments." He also voiced one of Trap Jesus' gangsters in the Adult Swim special Freaknik: The Musical. Maine was also featured on the music video of Playaz Circle's Hit song with Lil Wayne, "Duffle Bag Boy". On March 17, 2013 Mack Maine released the music video for "Celebrate" featuring Lil Wayne and Talib Kweli.
As of 2020, he’s executive produced Funeral and also is the booker for Wayne’s new show on Apple Music, Young Money Radio.
