Not your average Kansas City artist. Equipped with a style not common in the midwest, but still strive to get heard. Jermaine Brown (pic mayne) was born to mother Pauline Dunlap and Jermaine Brown Sr in Kansas City at 33-paseo. as a kid basketball lover until 1995-96. Love at first song and been nonstop since then To show my dedication to my brother from another mother I went with PIC just ended it with mayne . Perfect fit do you think so? PIC went good with my group theme MBH i have started in which is Money Before Holes. The whole part is simple: never let anything bring you down if so climb out of it heading forward. Money is considered the love in which anything that you value is your love. Went on with my life. I moved to Denver, Colorado linked up with ras al(boom ski). Been a 100% real friend ever since. so mbh is spreading and I will find a way to be heard . I have dropped singles like plan b which had a video to it and made a way video was being shot at an air bnb but the owners shut it down . My first ep was called attention Vs Love with hits like made a way on it. I’ve gotten married and moved to Canada 2020 More Pic Mayne here: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4zutXvpSudNMZSvtl5c6P6 |
