Max B’s 2006 debut mixtape Million Dollar Baby made him an underground rap star, but he didn’t get to fully reap those benefits for very long: In 2009, the Harlem MC was sentenced to 75 years in prison for a slew of charges including murder, armed robbery, kidnapping, and aggravated assault, all stemming from a botched robbery at which Max B was not present. In 2016, Max’s conviction was vacated, and that sentence was reduced to 20 years. Last December, he called into a taping of The Joe Budden Podcast to tell the hosts that his sentence would end even sooner, having been given a release date of November 9, 2025. That’s today!
