Madd Maxx's Page

June 28th 1988 is when Max Jones, aka Madd Maxx was born into the heart and birthplace of hip hop itself, The Bronx, New York. It has been said that even as an infant he found himself nodding his head and rocking to music before he could even speak. It was at an early age of five that Max realized that his life without music would be incomplete. Max would always be found listening to music from movies, television, and sure enough any radio in sight. Moving to Fresh Meadows, Queens aka Da Maze, Max did a few talent shows in and out of school and voluntarily performing artists songs from Run DMC to The Notorious B.I.G. Max then realized that being in the spotlight and rapping was something that he could do and was actually good at it. Music was his second love, basketball being his first. After a quick move to what seems like a whole other world too most New Yorkers, Madd Maxx moved to New Jersey. His freshman year in high school he met Joseph Costa. Costa showed Max the true format of a sixteen bar verse broken down into fours. After Max's first sixteen written to Jay-Z's "The Bounce", it was then that Young Costa adopted Max into the S.C family better known as Spitten Cullahs. Riding with S.C for shows all over NYC including two of what were hip hops biggest clubs, Speeed and Exit and Jersey, SC was doing their thing. It was his senior year in high school when the group broke up because of personal issues and differences. Now Max stands alone with working with a numerous amounts of local artist trying to get that street buzz and give people what hip hop/rap has been missing. With beats being produced by Chedda, Max plans to take the music industry by storm with club bangers and personal tracks to reflect how life is outside the booth. Max lives by his own theoretic question on music and life "what is music without life, and life without music ?"
