French Montana & Max B: The Current Wave

Description

This week, Steelo Brim and Travis Bennett took #TheShop to the streets of NYC and sat down with Grammy-nominated artist French Montana and rapper/producer Max B. to talk about the brotherhood behind their top-charting songs, the three items Max B claims you need to purchase after a bid, and how he fell victim to the algorithm. The guys also discuss the unique way French approaches making music that hits on a universal level, the music they listened to growing up that still influences their sound today, and the lasting impact Max B created with the Wave.
