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 appointed as the president of hometown native Lil Wayne's record label Young Money Entertainment in 2009, having known the rapper since childhood. Preyan is also known as a co-writer on many 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 its sister-entity Rich Gang's 2013 single "Tapout", which peaked at numbers ten and 44 respectively on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. He released three compilation albums with both recording outfits: ''We Are Young Money'' (2009), ''Rich Gang'' (2013) and ''Young Money: Rise of an Empire'' (2014). He released his debut single, "Celebrate" (featuring Talib Kweli and Lil Wayne) in 2013, which 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 solo act. He founded his own record label, Soothe Your Soul Records in 2008.
