Max B<\/a> is right back at it with a brand new single and album announcement following his long-awaited release from prison<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On Monday (November 24), the Harlem rap legend made his official return to music with \u201cNo More Tricks,\u201d a new song produced by veteran hitmaker Dame Grease<\/a> (DMX \u201cGet At Me Dog,\u201d The LOX \u201cIf You Think I\u2019m Jiggy\u201d).<\/p>\n

Over a funky yet gritty beat that feels like a throwback to that classic New York hip-hop sound, Biggaveli proves he hasn\u2019t lost a step on the mic while namedropping some of his rap heroes.<\/p>\n

\u201cMC Ren, Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, feed the beast \/ Swizz my n*gga, Alicia Keys \/ That\u2019s word to \u2018Pac, oh a million and one, milli three degrees \/ N*gga, we believe, Beretta millimeter \/ Clip hold 17 \/ Get high off that Ketamine,\u201d he spits in a laidback cadence.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo More Tricks\u201d is the first offering from Max\u2019s upcoming comeback album, Public Domain 7: The First Purge (Patient Zero), which drops this Friday (November 28).<\/p>\n

The project will serve as his first full-length effort in four years following Negro Spirituals, which was recorded and released while he was behind bars.<\/p>\n

Max B (real name Charley Wingate) was freed on November 9<\/a> after spending 16 years behind bars for his alleged role in a botched robbery<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 47-year-old was welcomed home by friends and family, including longtime collaborator French Montana<\/a> who was filmed embracing Max outside the prison.<\/p>\n

\u201cCANT MAKE THIS UP ! MY BROTHER REALLY CAME HOME ON MY B DAY ! HAMDULILLAH,\u201d the Coke Boys capo wrote alongside the heartwarming clip on Instagram. \u201cWALKED IT DOWN ! NO MORE FREE YOU [wave emojis].\u201d<\/p>\n

The pair were also spotted in the studio together later that night, with French teasing a third installment in their cult classic Coke Wave mixtape series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Max B is right back at it with a brand new single and album announcement following his long-awaited…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":153462,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[156,157,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-153461","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-music","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/153461","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=153461"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/153461\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/153462"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=153461"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=153461"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=153461"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
