Max B returns to VladTV for a rare in-person conversation, reflecting on his childhood in Harlem during New York’s crack era. The rapper opens up about being raised around addiction, including the painful memory of once selling crack to his mother, while describing life near the Abraham Lincoln Houses and the family dysfunction that shaped him.
He also discusses time spent in a structured group home, how his grandmother tried to give him stability, and growing up alongside figures like Cam’ron. Max B shares emotional memories of his late older brother Eric, whose bag of cassette mixtapes—featuring blends, R&B, Frankie Beverly and Maze, Michael Jackson and more—helped lay the foundation for his musical identity.
From Harlem street life to early influences and personal loss, Max B offers a raw look at the experiences that shaped his story.
