Reppin for Houston Maxo Kream came through with Justin Credible and DJ Sourmilk to talk new music, Jay-Z’s influence on the album and more.

Maxo dropped Brandon Banks a little over a month ago which is a 15 track project featuring names like Megan Thee Stallion, ScHoolboy Q, Travis Scott and more. When speaking on Travis, Maxo shares that he was one of the first people to tell him to pursue rapping. Growing up some of his musical influences include 50 Cent, and Tupac which were artists his parents were listening to in addition to other Houston based artists.

The “Cell Boomin” rapper goes on to speak about Jay-Z and how he contributed to his latest album. Justin asks if he assisted with the track list which Maxo answers that Jay liked the song “Murder Bloc” which was one he considered taking off the project until HOV said to keep it. Another song Jay said to keep was the opening track “Meet Again.”

The Texas rapper talks the first time he met J.Cole at the BET Awards, and how that launched their relationship, his recording process along with how many songs he recorded for his album. Peep the full interview below:
