Max B Marks Release With Sold-Out Bronx Show as First Post-Prison Interview Signals Fresh Start

Freed on Nov. 9 after a 2016 plea cut his sentence, the Harlem rapper describes a new outlook in his first sit-down since coming home.

Overview

  • Max B gave his first on-camera interview since release, telling Billboard he is turning over a new leaf and adjusting to life with family and everyday tech.
  • He returned to the stage Nov. 16 for a packed welcome-home performance at Salsa Con Fuego in the Bronx, running through fan favorites.
  • Studio posts show sessions with French Montana and producer Harry Fraud, with social captions hinting that a Coke Wave 3 project may be in the works.
  • Strong demand in New York led the Jan. 18 Brooklyn Paramount date to sell out quickly, prompting organizers to add a Jan. 17 show.
  • He was released from New Jersey custody on Nov. 9 after roughly 16 years; his original 75-year sentence from a 2009 conviction was reduced to 20 years in a 2016 plea deal.
