Max B returns with French Montana collaboration for ‘Coke Wave 3.5 Studio: Narcos’

After Max B was released from prison, he collaborated with French Montana to record “Coke Wave 3.5: Narcos”.

Max B walked out of Northern State Penitentiary on November 9 and started working in Newark. Max has just revealed that he is teaming up with French Montana to revive their Coke Wave series with a new title called Coke Wave 3.5: Narcos.

The Harlem-born rapper immediately reconnected with longtime French producer Harry Froude, sharing footage of their time in the studio, confirming the long-awaited reunion.

The trio’s chemistry seems unaffected by time, rekindling a sound that helped define New York’s underground hip-hop scene in the late 2000s.

Max B has been in prison for 16 years after being convicted of a fatal robbery attempt in New Jersey. His original 75-year sentence was commuted in 2016 after his legal team challenged the trial on the grounds of conflict of interest. He was released at the age of 47.

Now free, Max B is diving headfirst into music.

His new solo album “Public Domain 7: The First Purge (Patient Zero)” will be released on December 3, and is led by the single “No More Tricks” produced by Dame Grease.

Coke Wave mixtapes have long been a staple in both artists’ catalogs. Their 2009 debut tape helped launch French Montana’s career and cemented Max B’s influence on the wave music that took hip-hop by storm in the 2010s.

Their 2019 song “Coke Wave Boys” featuring the late Chinx became a street hit, with songs like “The New Wave” and “Been around” blending street stories with beautiful melodies.

Even while incarcerated, Max B remained active in music. He dropped “Black Soul” in 2021 and collaborated with French Montana on “Hold On” in 2019.

During Max’s absence, French Montana’s career skyrocketed, with their albums “Excuse My French” and “Jungle Rules” both topping the charts. His Coke Boys brand gradually became a respected brand.

The release of Coke Wave 3.5: Narcos has already caused a stir online, with studio clips showing the pair in sync and Harry Fraud’s production setting the tone.

The project aims to recreate the spirit of their early collaboration while reflecting their personal growth.

Outside the booth, Max B has also been active in the community. He hosted “Wavesgiving” events to residents of Harlem, providing food to those in need during Thanksgiving.
