The Rise of AG Cubano

By now we all should have heard about or known about the unstoppable Maybach Music Group but in case you have not, Talented as put together a time line to get you up to Maybach speed. The group released its first album in the summer of 2009, which was Rick Ross' third studio album Deeper Than Rap. After the release, Ross focused more on signing artists to his label, in the process discovering musicians such as Masspike Miles & hip hop group Triple C's who consists of members Gunplay, Torch, & Young Breed. On October 27, 2009 Ross released Triple C's debut studio album Custom Cars & Cycles through Def Jam.

In 2010, MMG issued Teflon Don, with another album titled Color, Cut & Clarity by Triple C's also scheduled for distribution, but was delayed and has yet to be released (reasons unknown).

That same year, Rick Ross made an offer to rapper Wiz Khalifa to sign to Maybach Music Group. Unfortunately Khalifa at the time was already signed with Atlantic Records.

In 2011, Ross confirmed that he intended to launch Maybach Music Jamaica along with Maybach Music Latino.[3] In addition he signed Maybach Music Group's first reggae artist, Magazeen and also signing his first Latino artist AG Cubano.

Fast forward it’s now 2012 and AG Cubano has been hard at work releasing a hard hitting mixtape in May entitled Power Trip 2012. Looks very promising for AG Cubano who lives in Miami, and is from Palo Alto, Sancti Spiritus, Cuba.

Power Trip separates himself from everyone in the rap game with his unique voice and ingenious lyrics. In the words of fans “Power Trip isn’t a mixtape it’s an album” the record has some of the most impressive instrumentals, putting many albums to shame.

AG Cubano makes the entire Maybach music group that much better with his rhymes, style, and his unique ability to reach the fans on the back streets in Cuba all the way to the front streets of Miami. You can follow AG Cubano on his journey to the lime light via Twitter.com/AGCubano
