Max B

Charly Wingate, known primarily by his stage name Max B, is an American rapper from Harlem known for his mumbled delivery, off-kilter sing-song choruses and braggadocio interviews and videos.[1][2]

Biography

After a period of incarceration on robbery charges from 1997 to 2005,[3] Max B came to prominence through his affiliation with the Harlem collective The Diplomats, and with rapper Jim Jones in particular. He is credited as co-writer on Jones' biggest hit "We Fly High", and features on several songs on Jones' albums Harlem: Diary of a Summer (including its lead single "Baby Girl", 2005) and Hustler's P.O.M.E. (2006).[3] In 2006 Jones formed the collective ByrdGang with Max B as a member.[4]

The two fell out because of financial disputes in following years.[3] This left the rapper's official recording career in limbo, since he was under contract to Jones' ByrdGang Records. He maintained a following by embarking on an extensive series of mixtape releases, often in collaboration with Harlem producer Dame Grease, and by dint of often bizarre and excessive media interviews and self-produced internet videos.[1][2][5] Signature catchprases "Oowww" and "wavy" featured liberally in all these outlets. His alias Biggaveli denotes his belief that he is an amalgam of artists The Notorious B.I.G. (AKA "Biggie Smalls"), Jay-Z (AKA Jigga), and Tupac Shakur (AKA Makaveli).[1]

Having gained release from his contract, he signed a three-album deal with Boston label Amalgam Digital in 2008.[6][7] Preparations were underway for a debut album to be entitled Vigilante Season when in 2009 Max B was found guilty of involvement in a robbery which left a man dead. He was sentenced to 75 years in prison on September 3, 2009.[8] His mother, Sharon Wingate, plans to appeal his conviction.[9]
