Max B has been released from prison after serving over 16 years behind bars. On Sunday (Nov. 9), the Harlem, N.Y. rapper was released from custody at Northern State Prison in Newark, N.J., and is now a free man. Video has surfaced of Max being greeted upon his release by a large group of people, with one being French Montana. Max and French share a long embrace before someone in the group places a large diamond chain around Max's neck. Max B was convicted of robbery and murder in connection with a 2006 robbery turned homicide that took place in a Fort Lee, N.J., hotel room in June of 2009. That September, he was sentenced to 75 years in prison. In 2016, Max was re-sentenced by Bergen County, N.J., Judge James Guida to 20 years after he pleaded guilty to aggravated manslaughter as part of a new plea deal. Now that he is free, Max will be on five years of supervised release supervised by the state of New York. Max B originally came to fame as part of Jim Jones' ByrdGang label in 2005. However, the two had a falling out a couple of years later, which Capo is still holding a grudge about. Max, who is credited with coining the term "wavy," later became a frequent collaborator with French Montana before his legal troubles forced him to sit down. While he was locked up, Max released several projects, including Negro Spirituals (2021), Charkey (2020), House Money (2019), Coke Wave 4 (Arm & Hammer) (2019), Vigilante Season (2014), Biggaveli (2011) and more. Earlier this month, Max announced on social media that he has several club appearances lined up, which will begin today at the Harbor in New York City.
