Part 1: Max B: I Sold My Mom Crack During Harlem's Crack Era
--------
In this VladTV interview, Max B breaks down the turbulent path that led him from New York arrests and parole violations to Harlem’s rap spotlight. He recalls early cases on 42nd Street, a robbery sentence, a $2 million bail, and the 2009 conviction that brought a 75-year sentence. While he was locked up, Harlem hip-hop exploded through Ma$e at Bad Boy, Cam’ron at Roc-A-Fella, Dipset, and the cultural impact of *Paid in Full* with Cam playing Alpo. Max explains how a chance encounter with Cam’ron, a missed studio link-up, and a 10-month return to prison sharpened his writing and helped create the “Max B” identity. After coming home, cousin Stan funded a new demo, which Bruno believed in and brought toward Jim Jones—setting the stage for Max’s entry into the rap business.
