Maniac releases first mini album and music video ‘Money Makerz’

Veteran rapper Maniac has released his first mini album ‘Money Makerz‘ under Keystone Media Ent. He got support from Jessi, Jay Park, Boi.B, A-Sol, and more.

Half Korean, half African-American rapper Maniac debuted in 2007 as part of the duo New Dynasty via Jiggy Fellaz’ compilation album ‘Xclusive’. In 2009 he became a new member of UPT (until then known as ‘Uptown’) alongside Chris Jung, Swings, and (Snacky) Chan. Following a break of about four years, the rapper returned to the scene in 2016 with the single ‘K.O Like Tyson (Feat. Owen Ovadoz)‘. Last year, he continued with ‘BLACK TEAR (Feat. Michelle Lee)‘ and ‘KING OF THE HILL’ with Miryo and Chris Jung.

After his appearance on Show Me The Money 6, Maniac joined Keystone Media Ent., whose CEO’s are former Uptown members Chris Jung and Carlos, and has now released his first solo mini album. He got support from his SMTM mates Boi.B and A-sol, as well as from hot artists Jessi and Jay Park. Maniac’s label mate, Korean-American rookie rapper DAE, contributed a verse as well.

The music video for the title track has already been released (watch it below), and two more videos are coming up. The album is available on iTunes/Apple Music and Spotify.
