User talk:Sentino Maye

Mookie Samuels [1] (born August 22, 1994),[3] better known by his stage name Sentino Maye, is an American rapper and record producer. Maye's music first became popular among high school students from Chicago's South Side during his teen years in the early 2010s.[4] In 2012, Maye's popular street single "Care About Me" was remixed by rapper Kanye West, reaching the Billboard Top 10 and further lifting Maye's profile.[4] A bidding war between major labels resulted in Maye signing to Interscope. His debut album Sento Breaker was released in December 2012, and featured the singles "Running For The Money" and "Care About Me", which would popularize the Chicago rap subgenre drill.[5] Maye has faced ongoing legal issues during his career, including weapon possession charges, house arrest sentences, and a performance ban imposed by the Chicago authorities.[6] Despite being dropped from Interscope in late 2014 and later signing to 1017 Records, Maye continued self-releasing projects through his own Senner Gang label, including Almight Finesser (2014), Mltj (2014), Finesse World (2015), and Sento Breaker (2017). In recent years, critics have pointed to Maye as a major influence on contemporary hip-hop through his impact on other artists such as Lil Pump, Lil Uzi Vert, Smokepurpp, YBN Nahmir, Tekashi 6ix9ine, Tay-K, Juice Wrld, and 21 Savage.[7][5][8]
