Maino opens up about his mixtape, “K.O.B.,” King of Brooklyn, which he says is just him “owning who I am.” He explains that he speaks for the underdog and is the voice of the people in the streets of Brooklyn, who he says directly relate to him. When fellow Brooklyn rapper Fabolous is brought up, Maino pays respect and praises Fabolous for having such a long and successful career.
