The Bronx and Harlem have officially reclaimed the throne. Nearly twenty years after they first began building one of New York rap’s most legendary catalogs, French Montana and Max B have announced their latest joint masterpiece: Wave Gods 2: Cosmos Brothers.
Arriving April 24, 2026, via Coke Boys Records in partnership with Defiant Records/EMG, the project serves as the highly anticipated follow-up to their recent return-to-form, Coke Wave 3.5: Narcos. To add even more weight to the drop, the duo has confirmed heavy-hitting features from Rick Ross and YE, ensuring the “Wave” reaches every corner of the cosmos.
A Historic #1 for the Silver Surfer
The announcement comes on the heels of a massive chart milestone. The duo’s runaway hit single, “Ever Since U Left Me,” has officially climbed to #1 on both the Mediabase Rhythmic Radio Chart and Billboard’s Rhythmic Airplay Chart.
This marks a career-first #1 on the rhythmic charts for Max B and the third for French Montana. The track—which masterfully samples the 1975 KC and the Sunshine Band classic “That’s the Way (I Like It)”—has become a streaming juggernaut, amassing:
- 25 Million+ global streams
- 23 Million+ YouTube views
- 220 Million views on the official TikTok sound
The Return of the Wave Gods
When Max B walked free in November 2025, the culture stood still. The chemistry between French’s diamond-certified mainstream appeal and Max B’s foundational “Wave” movement—which shaped a generation of melodic rap—remains unmatched.
Beyond the music, the pair recently fronted the Pelle Pelle x Knicks collaboration campaign, a move that solidified their status as the faces of New York’s enduring street culture. Cosmos Brothers is described as their “fullest statement yet,” proving that despite Max B’s long hiatus, the duo hasn’t missed a single beat.
