The DJ MAINO DA PLUG interview—on working with Silento & getting into streaming

[yesteryear atl excl] DJ MAINO DA PLUG has created a helluva catalog over the past decade and chain; his handprints have played a role in shaping today's Atlanta underground in one way or another. Yung Day Lo caught up with the underground savant, chopping it up about the origins of his streaming and DJ days and how he started working with Chief Keef and Glo Gang. Maino wears many hats in the underground, from DJing for emerging acts like Baby Osamaa to hosting some of the most integral artists in various subgenres in the Atlanta underground. The architect of some of Bear1boss's early music to playing a role in the evolution of Atlanta underground pioneer UnoTheActivist, Maino has always been in the conversation for the shifting sounds of the Atlanta underground. In 2026, we see him still running strong, coming off hosting Pradabagshawty's early 2026 EP coupled with Tezzus' "RESSURECTION" mixtape. Maino continues to be one of the best beacons for underground creatives in the Atlanta underground. 0:00—Intro 00:09—Maino Da Plug co-signs Yesteryear ATL 00:14—On the underground ecosystem 00:24—On his building his streaming audience 1:08—On his DJ lore 1:30—On how long he’s ben DJing 1:51—Advice 2:19— On parlaying DJ accolades into the streaming world 2.30—Notable accolades 3:05—On working with Chief Keef and his indluence in today’s underground scene 3:48—Outro CREDITS: Directed/edited by:   / 10scriptsteezo   Interviewer:   / yung_day_lo   Shot by:   / 10scriptsteezo   & Graphic by:   / 10scriptsteezo   Title card by:   / jahthelord   Technical director:   / iambrianwalker   LOCK IN WITH YESTERYEAR ATL: Instagram:   / yesteryearatl   Apple Music:   / yesteryear-atl   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/34ukm...
