Ever since his incarceration for botched robbery turned murder in 2009 which earned him a 75-year prison sentence, Harlem rapper Max B dropped a number of albums and EPs that helped him maintain his notoriety during his time behind bars. With his release looming and rumors of him being released as soon as next year, Max took to IG to promote his new line of “Free Max B” t-shirts.
It looks like Max B is the latest to shoot his shot at Ice Spice… from behind bars!
Ever since Ice Spice exploded onto the scene with her viral smash “Munch,” both guys and girls have been crushing. Since then, her career has only skyrocketed, releasing even more bangers and a standout collaboration with Nicki Minaj for the Barbie movie.
In a recent video that surfaced online, someone asked the Wave God about female rappers he’s been listening to recently. Of course, Max B shows love to Cardi B before shifting his attention to his newfound crush: Ice Spice.
“Shout-out to Cardi B, you already know the classics. But we need a first lady on this EMG movement. I’m looking at some pieces. I see some pieces. I’m loving that Spicy Ice joint right now. What’s her name? Ice Spice. She looking real good. I’m loving that Icy Spicy right now. She looking real tasty with that carrot top going off. That top looking like carrot cake. I want a bite.”

Fans did not hesitate to review the conversation via the comments, as many await his release from prison.
In what appears to be a video call from behind bars with his uptown compadre French Montana, the “Wave God” Max B gives a positive update to what he says is a prison stint that has almost reached its expiration date.
In the video, Biggavelli can be heard saying, “Y’all know what it is. Shout out to the boy. The birthday boy just checking in. You already know. Man, I’m feeling good,” He went on to give an update on what he says is his upcoming release, stating, “It’s almost over. Two more joints, n***a, I’m sliding out. Max Bigavell. 45, I feel good, look good. I taste good, I smell good, n***a.”
Wiz Khalifa is continuing to show love to one his favorite rappers. Max B came to prominence in the mid 2000s. The Harlem native first began getting hype when he appeared on several songs in 2005. Perhaps most notably, he featured on Jim Jones’ “Baby Girl” and Cam’ron’s “You Gotta Love it.” Furthermore. Max B released his first mixtape, Million Dollar Baby in 2006. However, legal troubles would derail the budding star’s career. Despite this, Max continues to be a beloved figure among many hip-hop fans. One of those fans is Wiz Khalifa.
Wiz recently appeared on Mike Tyson’s Hotboxin Podcast. The “Black and Yellow” rapper revealed why Max B is such an inspiration. “He just had a really dope, just real in-your-face real confidence,” he said. “I looked up to that.” In many ways, Max B was a pioneer in hip-hop. The melodic style he helped make famous is now commonplace. Wiz says Max’ style was also one of the things that stood out about him. “I look up to his melodies,” Wiz said. “I like how he mixed melody and rap.

Additionally, Wiz also says he seeks to emulate Max’s incredible work rate. “Dude had like 28 mixtapes before he went to jail,” he said. “At that point in my life, it was like, that’s a dude that I can relate to because I’m like man, I’m tryna go that hard too. I want to be in peoples’ faces too.” Furthermore, Wiz, sees his confidence as something else he’s learned from Max. “I’m that confident about my music as well,” he said. Furthermore, Wiz credits to Max B for making such an impact while being a largely underground rapper. “He was like, really still an underground artist but people like me and Curren$y and a couple other people,” he said. “We really gravitated towards him and seen the polish in all of that.”
Max B was slated to become a breakout star in 2006. However, in July of that year, he was arrested on serious felony charges. Authorities accused Max of participating in a botched robbery and homicide in New Jersey. Subsequently, he was found guilty in 2009 and sentenced to 75 years in prison. However, his sentence would later be reduced to 12 years. Furthermore, Max’ friend and label mate French Montana has claimed that Max will be released later this year.
Though we’ve seen a flurry of artists prosper out of New York City, Jay Critch remains one of the most underrated artists to emerge in recent years. Since he signed to Rich The Kid’s Rich Forever label, Jay Critch delivered a flurry of music that have captivated rap fans. He hasn’t necessarily played up to any antics to boost his streams or leaped into making TikTok-friendly singles. Critch stands as one of the most consistent MCs among the new generation of New York artists who deserves every bit of shine he receives.
The rapper made his formal debut in 2018 with the release of Hood Favorite. The project showcased his potential, especially as he collided with established MCs. He traded bars with Fabolous and French Montana on “Try It.” Offset delivered a stand-out verse on “Quicker.” Since then, he’s blessed fans with projects like Signed With Love and Critch Tape, along with compilation projects from the TME team.
Jay Critch Drops “Juug Season”
In the past few months, he’s drummed up anticipation for his next body of work. Following the release of singles like “Where’s Dexter” along with Rich The Kid and Famous Dex and “Oh What A Feeling,” he finally came through with Juug Season in its entirety. From the moment you press play on “That Was Random,” Critch comes out swinging with a newfound sense of clarity. Critch sound more focused across the project while his flow feels more refined. It’s another solid outing from Jay Critch that further cements him as a leading voice on the East Coast.
Critch enslists a number of collaborators to bring the project to life. On the production side, he links up with Luca Beats, Bngrz, 17ondatrack, LaRon, and more. The features aren’t extensive, either, but each artist who appears on the tracklist further compliment Critch. He teams up with the incarcerated legend Max B on “Still Wavy,” Quality Control’s Baby Money appears on “Raincoats,” and frequent collaborator and close friend Rich The Kid comes through on “Missiles.” Check the project in its entirety above and let us know your favorite track in the comments.
On a recent episode of DJUTV, Dipset capo Jim Jones was asked about former friend and affiliate Max B and Jones immediately halted the trajectory of the convo and responded very harshly without mentioning the Wave God’s name.
Jones said, “I don’t talk about dead people, and I don’t talk about people locked up. If I say some s**t, I wanna be able to say it to your face if I have to.” He went on saying, “That was one thing I always made it a point to do, so just keep that in mind for the next time you speak to a real n***a and talk about dead people or somebody that’s locked up,”
As previously reported, Max B is slated to come home from prison this year, even though he was sentenced to 75 years in 2006 on robbery and murder charges. With two sentence reductions since then, Max had his homie French Montana announce his pending arrival via his new “Lemonade” single, which was just released last week.
While many rappers shun away from sitting down with outlets, Jim Jones is regularly on the interview circuit. The Rap icon doesn’t have a problem chatting about his decades-long career with publications. Still, he will also shut down questions that can cause controversy—including his tension with other rappers.
Jones’s purported beef with Max B has been well-documented over the years, and he has often addressed the strenuous relationship. However, when he caught up with DJUTV, Jones wasn’t having it when Max B was introduced into the conversation.
“I don’t talk about dead people, and I don’t talk about people locked up,” Jones stated. “If I say some sh*t, I wanna be able to say it to your face if I have to.”
“That was one thing I always made it a point to do, so just keep that in mind for the next time you speak to a real n*gga and talk about dead people or somebody that’s locked up.”
Jones was told that in Chicago, where the interviewer is from, fans are curious about the long-standing beef. Still, the rapper was unmoved.

“I know how it go in Chicago, I know how they speak on they opps, I know the whole thing and sh*t like that,” the Harlem emcee said. “But where I’m from, I come from a different time. I come from real hustlers and sh*t like that. N*ggas that really got money and really was in the street.”
Further, Jones added he aligns with a “certain code.”
“You talking about a dead person holds no merit to me,” he also shared. “If that’s your opp, you already won, you not here no more, no matter what were the circumstances.”
According to the Coke Boys captain, the Wave God will be coming home real soon.
French Montana recently announced in a tweet that Max B will released from prison in April of this year while promoting Max’s new “Lemonade” video from French’s latest mixtape Coke Boys 6.
Max was sentenced to 75 years behind bars for conspiracy charges related to armed robbery, kidnapping, aggravated assault and felony murder from a botched New Jersey robbery in 2006. In 2016, Max, whose real name is Charley Wingate, had his sentenced reduced to 20 years. His sentenced was then shortened again to 12 years in 2019.
