Max YB A.K.A “The Hood Pope” or “The Prince Of New Jersey” is a rapper hailing from New Jersey (Jersey City in specific). Growing up with both his parents, Max had a normal upbringing (besides getting shot at age 13). He tried his hands in sports such as football and played tight end primarily. Seeing that pro sports wasn’t the carrier path for him he chose to become a rapper. He cites his major influence as being Micheal jasckon as he states “He’s my idol since I was a kid, my mom and da would play his songs and I’d watch documentaries and memorize his lyrics and cadences”.

His first rap name was “Young Bandz” but in his own words, he changed it due to “too many people having the name and it dint fit me” he said. MAd Max was an all time favorite movie of his so he decied since all his friends always told him his face looks mad al the time so he ran with the name Mad Max. He took out the mad portion of his name and just went as Max until he created the group YB (Young Billionaires) w / fellow members Guavo YB, Simba YB, Playboi YB and Maun YB.

He chose the name of the group “Young Billionaires because he felt that even if the members don’t have the billionaire funds, they still have a good view of where they going and the success they see in the future for themselves and as a group.
