Max B surprise-released Public Domain 7: The Purge, the seventh installment of the Public Domain mixtape series. The 25-song project features A$AP Rocky, Kehlani, French Montana, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, and a posthumous appearance from Chinx. Public Domain 7 follows the 2021 album Negro Spirituals. Max B teased plans to record new music after his prison release and returned to the studio. He was released after a long incarceration; an original 75-year sentence from a 2009 conviction was later reduced, and he walked free on November 9, 2025, with five years of parole.
"Just over a month after he was released from prison following a 16-year-long stint behind bars, Max B is back with his first new full-length in four years. The rapper has surprise-released Public Domain 7: The Purge, the seventh installment of his ongoing Public Domain mixtape series. You can listen to it below. Public Domain 7: The Purge follows Max B's 2021 album Negro Spirituals."
"The 25-song mixtape features contributions by A$AP Rocky, Kehlani, French Montana, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, and others, as well as a posthumous contribution from the late New York rapper Chinx. Max B teased the mixtape in a interview last month, sharing his plans to get into the studio to record new music now that he was out of prison."
"The 47-year-old Harlem rapper was found guilty of numerous charges, including felony murder, kidnapping, and armed robbery. However, Max B was in another state at the time of the robbery, and eventually had his sentence reduced to 20 years due to a conflict of interest in the original case and a subsequent plea deal on the aggravated manslaughter charge. He finally walked free on November 9, 2025, and will remain on parole for five years."
