Charly Wingate (born May 21, 1978), better known by his stage name Max B, is an American hip hop recording artist from Harlem, New York. In 2006, he signed a recording deal with fellow Harlem-based rapper Jim Jones' label/group ByrdGang. Following a streak of financial and ethical disputes, Max B parted ways with Jones in 2008. The two became embroiled in a bitter feud which pitted Jones and his affiliates on one side, and Max B and his affiliates, on the other. In late 2009, he was sentenced to 75-years in prison on conspiracy charges pertaining to armed robbery, kidnapping, aggravated assault and murder. He made his mixtape debut in 2006, albeit in prison since 2010, he secured a deal with Amalgam Digital to release his debut album ''Vigilante Season'' in 2011. ==Life and career== Max B was incarcerated on robbery charges between 1997 to 2005, beginning when he was just 19 years old.〔 Following his release, he began his music career assuming the name Max B. The "B" being shorthand for Biggaveli, a portmanteau referencing The Notorious B.I.G. ("Biggie Smalls"), Jay-Z ("Jigga Man"),〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Max B: The Wavy Harlem Renaissance )〕 and Tupac Shakur ("Makaveli").〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Max B Interview (OnSMASH Exclusive) )〕 After finishing his sentence, Max B was introduced to Jim Jones through his childhood friend and rapper Cam'ron.〔 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. Fellow ByrdGang member Stack Bundles was killed in 2007.〔Reid, Shaheem. (2007-06-12) (Jim Jones Associate Stack Bundles Killed – Music, Celebrity, Artist News ). MTV. Retrieved on 2012-01-06.〕 Max B expressed the loss: "That was fucked up because the nigga Stacks was close to me, I ain't even gonna front. I was in jail at the time, so a nigga was sitting. A nigga learned to cope with that thing pretty well though, R.I.P. to Stacks. Shout out to my nigga, he played me all the joints he had. Man, that was my nigga."Max B Also Has a group inspired By the wave from the south coming out called Trapp Wavve from Texas With Gamba Stone, Wavvy Mandela,Sour Diesel Etc. 〔Cooper, Matthew. (2009-02-04) (Max B: The Wavy Harlem Renaissance | Rappers Talk Hip Hop Beef & Old School Hip Hop ). HipHop DX. Retrieved on 2012-01-06.〕 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. Max B signed a deal with Boston-based Amalgam Digital in 2008 but he's no longer signed with the label. In 2011, he released his debut album, ''Vigilante Season''. In 2012, he collaborated with Isaiah Toothtaker on ''Toothy Wavy'', which was entirely produced by The Hood Internet. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Max B」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
