“I’m trying to stay with you, but you wanted to be away from me,” Maine raps over layered vocals and propulsive percussion, later adding: “You didn’t give a f**k about my pain when I was trying to grieve.” There’s angst and a sense of disbelief at the amount of pain he’s already had to endure. “I only lost a couple of n***as but cried a hundred times,” the teenager delivers poignantly in his signature Deep South drawl.
In the video, YNP Maine chills in what appears to be a schoolyard one night, where he reminisces about all the challenges he’s overcome. With floodlights and anxious camerawork to up the ante, Maine conveys the track’s heartache with poise and presence. Watch it Here. “All Out of Favors” is the rapper’s first new release since dropping the infectious “Aventador” last month.
It was preceded by “Aw Yeah,” a collaboration with fellow breakout star Ndotspinalot, as well as “Voices,” which was included on French Montana and DJ Drama’s Coke Boys 6: Money Heist Edition. That co-sign followed The Start, Maine’s breakout record from last year, which highlighted his unique spin on the sound that has dominated Southern hip-hop throughout the last decade.
With “All Out of Favors,” YNP Maine showcases the emotional depth that makes him one of hip-hop’s most exciting new stars.
About YNP Maine:
Harsh, matter-of-fact, and unflinching, Ynp Maine serves up steely-eyed soundtracks for the trenches. Since witnessing the death of his older brother, the Baton Rouge rapper has provided terse street bars that pulsate with decisiveness and simmering menace, byproducts of life in a war zone. Those side effects surface on “Aw Yeah,” a Ndotspinalot-assisted rider’s anthem. Grim, yet juxtaposed with dreams of a rap come-up, the track evokes survival and a sense of wounded optimism. It’s the inflection point of a significant level-up for YNP Maine. Years before he had fans or even goals of rap stardom, YNP was just trying to survive the travails of his home city. While his brother was an aspiring rapper, YNP was more interested in basketball. That changed after his brother was murdered. After struggling for a year following his brother’s death, YNP began taking music more seriously. For a 16-year-old without many emotional outlets, recording sessions became their own kind of therapy. At school, other students would approach him rapping the lyrics to his early song “Trippin,” and it soon became a soundtrack for the locker room. By 2023, his rap skills had earned him the attention of French Montana and he signed to Coke Boys Records / Priority Records. While YNP can be ruthless in his songs, he prides himself on his versatility, making tracks for the block and the club. Regardless of the themes, his music is always threaded with honesty. “My raps come from the heart,” he says.
