Maxo Kream has a surprisingly goofy and playful demeanour, often cracking self-aware jokes and displaying a smile that showcases his gold grin. The Houston-based artist made his major-label debut in 2019 with the ‘Brandon Banks’ album, featuring contributions from Travis Scott and Megan Thee Stallion.

But, Maxo’s backstory is a tale of crime and death that would catch the attention of the most jaded gangsta rap/trap followers.
