French Montana & Max B dropped “Wave Gods 2”

French Montana and Max B reunite for ‘Wave Gods 2: Cosmos Brothers,’ dropping May 22nd after Max B’s release from 17 years in prison.

Max B walked out of prison on November 9 after serving 17 years and 10 months, a sentence that once felt like a life sentence. When he first caught that 75-year bid, the odds of him ever recording with French Montana again seemed infinitesimal. Yet here they are, ready to release an album together.

The probability of this moment existing at all defies conventional expectation. French Montana never stopped believing in the reunion. The album title emerged from something Max B kept repeating during their prison calls. His release date landed on French Montana’s birthday, a convergence that felt too precise to ignore. The project includes the track “Smoking Part 2,” which offers a preview of what’s coming when the full project arrives. French Montana and Max B’s previous collaborations established the chemistry that made this reunion feel inevitable once freedom became possible. With Max B finally home and the two artists united again, “Wave Gods 2: Cosmos Brothers” represents both a personal victory and a statement about the kind of music they want to make in 2026.
