Dr. Millionaire releases ‘Nigga from Maine’ ahead of new album and it is awesome

I do everything I can to support local hip hop, sometimes I’m into it, sometimes not so much. Luckily there are folks like Dr. Millionaire around who are always good for some solid tracks.


I do everything I can to support local hip hop, sometimes I’m into it, sometimes not so much. Luckily there are folks like Dr. Millionaire around who are always good for some solid tracks.

Check out his latest track, ‘Nigga From Maine,’ in which the rapper reminds us of his home town, how they sell weed in the North, and how he’d never seen a moose.

Seriously, we love this track:

We’re gonna try and catch up with Millionaire ahead of his new album, My First Million, which drops 7/24 on Imaginary Friends Records. But I wanted to give this track a shout out.

And we’re not the only folks into it. Hip hop blog Pigeons and Planes loved it too, saying the track “broaches race cleverly and with the weight of autobiography, tracing the journey from his childhood in Maine to his current residence, Richmond, Virginia. Mixing humorous anecdotes and darker moments, Dr. Millionaire exhibits a gift for narrative that never seems labored—story fitted to rhyme with great ease.”

We’re pumped, keep up with Dr. Millionaire on facebook and Twitter here.
