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. He was named president of Lil Wayne's record label Young Money Entertainment in 2009, having known Wayne since childhood. Preyan has co-written several of Wayne's singles, including "How to Love", "Got Money", "No Worries" and "It's Good", among others. Furthermore, he has 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.
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 ten 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.
