In 2009, Max B began serving a 75-year prison sentence<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.complex.com/music/2015/06/this-forgotten-day-in-hip-hop-max-b-gets-sentenced-to-75-years|title=This Forgotten Day In Hip-Hop: Max B Gets Sentenced To 75 Years|work=Complex|date=2015-06-10|accessdate=2015-08-16}}</ref>  for charges of conspiracy to armed robbery, kidnapping, aggravated assault, and murder.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://allhiphop.com/2012/08/30/max-b-prison-sentence-upheld-parole-set-for-2042/|title=Max B Prison Sentence Upheld; Parole Set for 2042|publisher=AllHipHop|first=Jake|last=Crates|date=August 30, 2012}}</ref> The Sentence was lowered to 30 years. <ref>http://allhiphop.com/2012/08/30/max-b-prison-sentence-upheld-parole-set-for-2042/</ref>

==Biography==
Max B was incarcerated on robbery charges from 1997 to 2005,<ref name=cool2>{{cite web|last=Benson|first=Chris |last2=Porter|first2=D.|url=http://coolehmag.com/frontEnd/feature.php?i=47&s=91|title=Wipeout: The Fall of Max B|work=cool'eh|date=July 2009|issue=14}}</ref> starting serving at 17 years of age.<ref name=Complex/> He had come up with a second alias Biggaveli denoting his belief that he is a combination of rappers: [[The Notorious B.I.G.]] ("Biggie Smalls") [[Jay-Z]] ("Jigga Man<ref>http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/interviews/id.1303/title.max-b-the-wavy-harlem-renaissance</ref>") and [[Tupac Shakur]] ("Makaveli").<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGrl82zhdp8|title=Max B Interview (OnSMASH Exclusive)|publisher=[[OnSMASH]]}}</ref>

After finishing his sentence, he befriended Harlem rapper [[Jim Jones]] through his childhood friend and rapper [[Cam'ron]].<ref name=Complex/> Max B came to prominence through this affiliation with the Harlem collective [[The Diplomats]], in particular with Cam'ron. In 2006 Jones formed the collective ByrdGang with Max B as a starring member.<ref>{{cite news|last=Reid|first=Shaheem|url=http://www.mtv.com/bands/m/mixtape_monday/071706/|title=Fire Starters|work=Mixtape Monday|publisher=MTV News|date=2006-07-17|accessdate=2009-09-03}}</ref> Fellow ByrdGang member Stack Bundles was killed in 2007.<ref>Reid, Shaheem.

Max B then engaged in a long [[feud]] with Jim Jones. Jones was preventing Max B from earning the adequate amount of money he was due for his artistic creations and work. Large amounts of money were given to Jim Jones for shows, however Max B would receive a split from Byrdgang which was only a fraction of what Jim had made; when most of the material performed was written entirely by Max B, including lyrics, hooks, and melodies. Although under contract by Jones, Max B was destined to get out of this situation.<ref>http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.24748/title.max-b-explains-the-roots-of-his-beef-with-jim-jones-the-byrdgang</ref>

===Beef with Jim Jones and Byrdgang===
Max B left ByrdGang by early-2008, however, his contract with ByrdGang restricted him from releasing music commercially without proceeds going through the label.<ref name="ComplexMaxB"/> By then, Jim Jones had garnered a streak of feuds with rappers, ranging from [[Junior MAFIA]] to would-be [[Jay-Z]] affiliate Tru Life. [[Tru Life]] had already appeared in various interviews, including one on ''Cocaine City'' Vol. 8 (2007)<ref name="TruLife">{{cite web|url=http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/video.php?v=wshhszPO381i6sKtFOaG|title=Cocaine City 8: Tru-Life Interview Part 1| website= WorldStarHipHop.com|publisher= Cocaine City|date=June 11, 2007|accessdate=August 15, 2015}}<br>{{cite web|url=http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/video.php?v=wshh4p70gYD5r6ca4f36|title=Cocaine City 8: Tru-Life Interview Part 2| website= WorldStarHipHop.com|publisher= Cocaine City|date=June 11, 2007|accessdate=August 15, 2015}}</ref> showing off two Dipset chains he claimed to have snatched off of Jones.<ref name="TruLife"/> Max B's affiliation with French and their mutual beef with Jim Jones was a very public one – resulting in numerous back-and-forth "diss" videos, interviews, confrontations and accusations – which appeared on street DVDs such as Cocaine City, Smack, Come Up, Sub-0, as well as websites such as ''HipHopBeef.com'' and ''WorldStarHipHop.com'' which were just beginning to gain a foothold. The feud also involved Jim Jones affiliate [[Hell Rell]],<ref name="RellShot">{{cite web|url=http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/video.php?v=wshhWKFA8pDm1gf147UM |title=French Montana & Max B Clown On Hell Rell For Getting Shot In The Ass!|website= WorldStarHipHop.com |publisher=HipHopBeef.com |date=November 25, 2008 |accessdate=August 11, 2015}}<br>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOpdRcjlS1k |title=French Montana & Max B clowning on Hell Rell |website=Youtube.com |publisher=HipHopBeef.com |date=June 20, 2010|accessdate=August 11, 2015}}</ref><ref name="RellNotShot">{{cite web|url=http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/video.php?v=wshhyOeO6r94pYB8EyeM |title= Hell Rell Denies Rumors Of Him Getting Shot In The A$$ & Disses French Montana!... |website=WorldStarHipHop.com |date=December 8, 2008|accessdate=August 11, 2015}}</ref> and at differing points of time various rappers from Dipset or ByrdGang.

Max B & [[French Montana]] would go on to release their debut collaborative mixtape ''Coke Wave'' – including [[hip hop producer|productions]] from [[Dame Grease]], Young Los, [[J.

February would be a busy month of releases, as both rappers dropped their next solo mixtapes that same month. Max B's mixtape ''Quarantine'' was released on February 23, while French released his fourth mixtape ''The Laundry Man'' on February 24, 2009.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.datpiff.com/French-Montana-The-Laundry-Man-mixtape.35513.html |title=''French Montana - The Laundry Man'' |website=datpiff.com |date=February 24, 2009}}</ref> The first of French's tapes to be hosted by later-frequent [[DJ]] collaborators Evil Empire and [[Connecticut]]'s Big Mike. The two artists resumed concentrating on their solo records, until the release of their second collaborative mixtape ''Coke Wave 2'' in November that year.

==== Allegations of blackballing ====

Throughout their stint, French Montana and Max B would allege being "blackballed" by radio and media.<ref name="MaxAHH">{{cite web|url=http://allhiphop.com/2012/11/08/max-b-co-signs-french-montana-and-ponders-diddys-nyc-domination/|title=Exclusive: Max B Co-Signs French Montana and Ponders Diddy’s NYC Domination|publisher=AllHipHop.com|date=November 8, 2012|accessdate=August 14, 2015}}</ref><ref name="Power105may2013"/><ref name="2012WhooKid"/> In a September 25, 2008 video on [[WorldStarHipHop|WSHH]],<ref name="WSHHblackball"/> they would go on to accuse Jim Jones – established as a mainstream artist with Dipset at the time – for using his influence to further dissuade labels and websites from covering the rappers.<ref name="WSHHblackball">{{cite web|url=http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/video.php?v=wshh5zkd0qJp1aNYYmN8|title=Max B & French Montana Dissing Jim Jones! Jim Is Black Balling YouTube, WorldStar, Labels |publisher=WorldStarHipHop.com|date=September 25, 2012|accessdate=August 14, 2015}}</ref> As a response to being blackballed, the two would rely on [[grassroots]] and online methods of promotion. French Montana – who had a background in Cocaine City – and Max B, would utilize outlets such as street DVDs and hip hop websites to promote themselves and their respective projects. Since the early-2000s, street DVDs had emerged as a lucrative underground medium providing a "behind the scenes" look into the business and politics of major and upcoming rappers. By the mid-to-late 2010s, websites such as ''WorldStarHipHop.com'' and ''Uncut-RawTV.com'' had taken on the same spot; consequently, marking the decline of street DVDs as an outdated and non-lucrative format.

Another tactic the two used to fight the alleged blackballing was to release a flood of music/mixtapes; becoming among the driving facets of the "Coke Wave" campaign. Within the span of 2009, the two rappers combined had released over a dozen mixtapes that year alone. The ''Coke Wave'' mixtape, and its sequel ''Coke Wave 2'', were accompanied by DVD films which included music videos, in-studio footage, skits, and videos revolving around their beef with background commentary.<ref name="CokeWaveDVD">{{cite web|url=http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/video.php?v=wshh1G4ZbrrW91X1868l|title=French Montana & Max B's - Coke Wave [Full 79 Min DVD Stream]|website=WorldStarHipHop.com|publisher=Cocaine City|date=February 11, 2009|accessdate=August 14, 2015}}<br>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86Y4-af8ops |title=Coke Wave DVD |website=Youtube.com |publisher=Cocaine Ciy |date=October 12, 2014 |accessdate=September 6, 2015}}</ref> ''Coke Wave 2'' which was released subsequent to Max B's sentencing, further included footage related to his trial and commentary on his legal situation.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVgZbUikBE4 |title=Coke Wave 2 DVD |website=Youtube.com |publisher= Cocaine City |date=October 12, 2014 |accessdate=September 6, 2015}}</ref> French would go on to touch on the subject of having been blackballed in a number of interviews following his mainstream breakout.<ref name="Power105may2013">{{cite web|url=http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/video.php?v=wshhoF5bb62DORD4k5pU|title=French Montana Interview With The Breakfast Club!

According to authorities, Max sent his ex-girlfriend, Gina Conway, and his stepbrother Kelvin Leerdam, in 2006 to rob two men in a Holiday Inn, in [[Fort Lee, New Jersey|Fort Lee]], [[Northern New Jersey]]. On September 22, 2006, Conway and Leerdam ambushed Allan "Jay" Plowden in room 408 and restrained him with duct tape, while awaiting Plowden's partner, David Taylor. Also in the room was Gissele Nieven. When Taylor arrived, he was immediately shot, point-blank, execution-style, in the head. He did not have any money on him.

The crew fled the scene, Plowden then alerted the hotel front desk of the murder. As police entered the room, Plowden was caught moving $30,000 out of the room. Plowden was later charged with money laundering and identity theft. One week later Conway, Leerdam and Max B were apprehended and charged.

On January 9, 2007 Max B was remanded to Bergen County Jail in New Jersey on a $2 million bail.<ref>Phillips, Rashad. (2009-01-16) [http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.8424/title.bronx-woman-confesses-in-alleged-max-b-robbery Bronx Woman Confesses In Alleged Max B.

Retrieved on 2012-01-06.</ref> Conway testified against Max B and Leerdam, in exchange for a 15-year sentence on armed robbery and manslaughter. Leerdam received a life term plus 35 years.

On July 3, 2013 Conway lost a bid to lower her 15-year sentence. She claimed that her confession to the police was involuntary and that her sentence was excessive.

===Conviction and appeal===
By June 6, 2009, he had been found guilty on 9 of 11 counts in the ongoing trial.<ref name=THIS50>{{cite web|url=http://www.thisis50.com/profiles/blogs/breaking-news-maxb-found|title=Max-B Found Guilty on 9 out of 11 Counts in Murder Trial (Facing up to 20 Years in Prison)|publisher=ThisIs50.com|date=2009-06-09|accessdate=2012-01-06}}</ref> On June 9, he was found guilty of murder conspiracy and robbery charges and faced up to 75 years. He was to be sentenced in [[Bergen County]] on July 30.

In a statement, Gerald Saluti said:<blockquote>Max B would like to first thank all his family, friends and fans that have supported him throughout this trial. Please don’t give up on him at this point. Although the jury has spoken and Max has been convicted of felony murder, kidnapping, robbery and conspiracy a swift and successful appeal shall follow. [...] It is inconceivable that a jury could convict Max under the facts presented by the State. Even Gina Conway the State’s own witness testified that Max knew nothing of a robbery. [...] Ms. Conway, a jilted lover and proven liar, said so at the trial itself. Max said after the verdict was read that he is confident that justice will eventually be served and he will be free. [...] Max intends to continue putting out music for his fans while the appeal process grinds along. Although shocked by the verdict, Max remained grateful.</blockquote>

Max B was later sentenced to 30 years in prison on September 4, 2009.<ref>{{cite web|last=Jacobs|first=Allen|url=http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.9749/title.max-b-sentenced-to-75-years-in-prison|title=Max B Sentenced To 40 Years In Prison|work=HipHopDX|date=2009-09-03|accessdate=2009-09-03}}</ref> His mother, Sharon Wingate, and fellow rap artist French Montana said he plans to appeal his conviction.
