Max B who’s real name is Charles Wingate was handed a 75-year sentence for a 2009 deadly armed robbery, and his sentence was reduced in 2016.
Max commented on his situation in a new Instagram post, which read, “They gave me 75, got it chopped to a 20 then got it down to a dozen, nigga I’m good with the money #SUPERBAD.”
This comes after Max released “Super Bad,” the second single from his upcoming Negro Spirituals album, due out on August 23. His latest track follows the release of his lead single “Black and I’m Proud,” which came out the first week of July.
“Super Bad” follows Max B’s lead single “Black and I’m Proud,” which came out the first week of July. The next official single from Negro Spirituals arrives on August 23, and it will feature the rising New York star A Boogie wit da Hoodie, who has been streamed more than two billion times in 2019.
Though Max B put out his first songs during the mid-2000s, Negro Spirituals will be just his second official album. It’s currently set to be released by The Orchard, a longtime indie distributor that was purchased by Sony in 2017.
Negro Spirituals marks the first new Max B project since streaming took over the music industry — young listeners can now find the rapper’s music on Spotify playlists like New Music Friday, Get Turnt, and Off the Strength.
