The Mainman
Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, the artist known as L.A.C. had to learn how to grind at an early
age. Brought up in places like Perry Homes and Kimberly Courts, he found out quick that counting
on a hand out was not an option. After years of trying to get out of the streets and do something
positive, L.A.C. joined the Army. After receiving a medical discharge in 2005, L.A.C. decided it was
time to pursue his dream of being one of the greatest M.C's. Now it is 2010 and it seems as though
everyone wants to be the next 2Pac or Biggie. When L.A.C. is done with the game, you better believe
that his name will be included amongst the Hip Hop Greats.

Mainman, aka J.R. Carey, was born June 22, 1981 in Kennett, Missouri. The 26-year-old hip-
hop artist/songwriter is from Chicago, Illinois by way of Omaha, Nebraska. After a brief stint
of semi professional basketball, Mainman decided to move from Chicago, Illinois to Atlanta,
Georgia. Although Chicago is where Young Main came out of his shell to become the artist
that he is today, Main thought the move to ATL would be more beneficial for his business
endeavors. In Atlanta, Mainman re-united with former classmate and basketball teammate,
Grayling Jones, Jr., aka Jones Jr. The two formed Team Mainman, Inc., a music
entertainment company. Mr. Jones, CEO, manages the company's day-to-day operations.
Mainman is definitely a breath of fresh air to the hip-hop roundtable. His clever style and
witty punch lines definitely makes him a crowd pleaser. Mainman is often compared to some
of the best hip-hop artists. Many critics say he has the voice tone of a young Jay-Z, the
Midwest freshness of Kanye West, and the punch lines of a new Rakim. All these similarities
together with the consciousness of Nas, and you have Mainman. Main has been a part of the
Midwest hip-hop movement taking the heartland by storm with his hit singles "Work" and "I
Ain't Got It." The Mainman is set to release the highly anticipated album "Workman's
Comp" later this year. The album first single is “Income Tax” which guarantees to be a
mainstay on the radio. "Workman's Comp" is sure to pump life back into the hip-hop
industry.
Mainman has opened up for many mainstream artists, such as The Clipse, Mya, J.Holiday, and
Twista, just to name a few. In addition to his unique music, Mainman provides uplifting
services for his community. Team Mainman, Inc. is also the parent company for "The Mr.
John Henry Foundation", a non-profit organization that assists the underprivileged in the
Atlanta Metro community.
