via press release
NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 10/02/09 -- "All The Above (Feat. T-Pain)," the breakthrough hit single from Hustle Hard Entertainment/Atlantic recording artist Maino has just received RIAA platinum certification, marking digital sales in excess of 1 million.
Produced by Just Blaze (T.I., Jamie Foxx, Saigon) and Nard & B (T.I., Plies, Ludacris), the track was an out-of-the-box sensation upon its June release, scoring the highest first week single sales for a new rap artist since Flo Rida's "Low." The single went on to become one of the summer's biggest hip-hop radio hits, riding high on the Rhythmic Top 20 and Urban Top 40 (having impacted as the #1 most added single at the format).
The "All The Above" companion video has also proven a runaway success. The clip had its multi-platform premiere across the MTV networks (including MTV, MTV2, mtvU, MTV Hits, MTV Jams, and MTV.com) and was featured as MTV Jams' "Jam of the Week." At BET, "All The Above" remains in "Heavy"
rotation after a Top 10 run on the 106 & Park countdown.
"All The Above" is just one of the many highlights on Maino's debut album, "IF TOMORROW COMES..." Stacked with a broad spectrum of bangers, the album makes an indelible first impression of a serious new hip-hop star. The first major label debut to be released by a new Brooklyn-based rapper since Fabolous' 2001 classic "GHETTO FABOLOUS," "IF TOMORROW COMES..." sees Maino showing off his unadulterated candor and staccato flow on such recent singles as "Hi Hater" and "Million Bucks (Feat. Swizz Beats)." In total, the tracks on "IF TOMORROW COMES..." have logged combined digital sales in excess of 1,000,000 -- an astounding tally for a new hip-hop artist.
