Max B

Charly Wingate, known primarily by his stage name Max B (and Wavy Crockett, Max Biggaveli, and Biggavell), 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., 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.[3][8]
