Maxo Kream Shares A Deluxe Version Of ‘Weight Of The World’ Along With The ‘Mixin Juices’ Video

by

A little under nine months ago, Houston rapper Maxo Kream released his third studio album, Weight Of The World, which included appearances from fellow standout rappers such as ASAP Rocky (“Streets Alone“), Don Toliver, Freddie Gibbs, and Tyler The Creator (“Big Persona“), as well as the singles “Greener Knots” and “Cripstian.” Talking about this album in interviews, he said, “With this one, you’ll understand what’s going on from Brandon Banks, like where I left off.” It looks like he’s got a little more explaining to do; today, he released the deluxe edition of Weight Of The World with six new tracks.

Included among them: new tracks “Jigga Dame,” “Football Heads” featuring Benny The Butcher, “The Vision” featuring Anderson .Paak, and “Mixin Juices” with Detroit rapper Babyface Ray. Maxo has been carefully rolling out the new songs over the past month, leaving an enticing trail of breadcrumbs to follow up to the new release. To commemorate its release, Maxo also dropped the video for “Mixin Juices.” The frenetically-edited clip is simple and stripped down, depicting the two rappers posted up with some high-end cars, bottles of cough syrup, and a few of their closest friends.

Maxo Kream And Anderson .Paak See ‘The Vision’ Clearly On Their Head-Bopping New Anthem

Maxo Kream is on a roll, lately — no pun intended. Following up the trunk-knocking “Jigga Dame” and the Benny The Butcher-featuring “Football Heads,” the Houston hard hitter teams up with Silk Sonic singer Anderson .Paak on the head-bopping anthem, “The Vision.” While Maxo recounts some of his favorite sneakers and brags about his high-fashion habits, Paak details the cars, clothes, and women that make him a “legend livin’.”

Maxo’s hot streak continues the momentum from his impressive 2021, which saw him drop videos for “Local Joker,” “Big Persona,” Greener Knots,” “Can’t Leave The Streets Alone,” and “Cripstian” on the way to releasing his third studio album Weight Of The World. The album was well-received by critics and fans and reestablished Maxo’s footing as one of the most captivating rising rappers in the business.

Meanwhile, his collaborator, Anderson .Paak, also had a standout year, thanks in large part to his and his Silk Sonic partner Bruno Mars’s musical pairing. An Evening With Silk Sonic, their group debut, leaned heavily into schtick, but that didn’t stop it from spawning a No. 1 single in “Leave The Door Open,” winning four Grammy Awards for the song, and prompting near universal acclaim.

Maxo Kream And Benny The Butcher Serve The Block In The Head-Bopping ‘Football Heads’ Video

The art of rap is beautiful in itself, but it’s a special treat when rappers can infuse uncommonly used pop culture references in their bars. Maxo Kream does just that in his video for “Football Heads” featuring Benny The Butcher. Maxo executes a drug transaction outside of a store, raps in the middle of a football field, and nods his head while sitting in the stands surrounded by men wearing football helmets. He references Helga from the popular Nickelodeon show Hey Arnold! as well as WWE superstar John Cena.

Benny, on the other hand, shrinks to a miniature version of himself while rapping atop a table garnished with beer cans and drug paraphernalia. The mid-tempo production allows both to flex their lyrical prowess and remind us that they serve the best product on the block. “Football Heads” marks the first collaboration between the Houston and Buffalo rappers.

For Maxo, this follows “Jigga Dame” which was released earlier this year in addition to his features on “Loot,” “Overseas,” and “Throw’d As It Gets.” Benny shared “Benny’s Got A Gun” and appeared on “X-Rated,” in addition to his March 2022 project Tana Talk 4 highlighted by “Johnny P’s Caddy” featuring J. Cole.
