"The next day, Liam and I went on HOT 97 for our first radio interview. Alexander was there behind the window. Ebro, Peter Rosenberg and Laura Styles. Our interview was being aired.
"Alright, we have..." Ebro said as he let me introduce myself.
"Maxx Misfit." I said.
"And who do you have here with you?" Ebro said.
"This is Liam also known as Lil Dee." I said to Ebro.
"What's happening." Liam said on the mic.
"Yeah we out here." Peter said.
"So, I guess we should start with uh basic information. Where you from?" Ebro asked.
"I am from -- alright so I was raised, in Atlanta, Georgia, I grew up in Lawrenceville. So after awhile I got into a lot of fights in school, and had to be sent to these different programs." I said on the mic.
"So what kind of environment are these in-- and for people who don't know what he's talking about Georgia." Peter said.
"Lawrenceville is like the hood." I said.
"How old are you?" Ebro asked.
"I just turn 18, but I don't seem my aged. I feel like everyone is trying to judge me. I feel like the younger you are or how old you are, niggas feel like they have no sympathy for you. I don't let any little nigga trying to bro me at that. So I don't like to speak about my age, because people will try to determine my knowledge and stuff." I said.
"Okay, so I heard that from a lot of people to say that terminology these days, 'they try to lil bro me' have you ever had this happening to you?" Ebro asked.
"Um.. not really, it's just fake news." I chuckled.
"Well aren't you a fighter? You bring in a lot of fights." Peter said.
"Man, I've been fighting since I was a kid. Because I've been growing up in a rough neighborhood so I had to fight to survive." I said.
"Right. Cause you said you grew up in the hood." Ebro said.
"Tough shit." I said.
"Tough shit? Alright. So what kind of upbringing did you have? What was your mom like?" Ebro said.
"Um... my mom was pretty much of a fighter when she was a kid too. Like Ronda Rousey." I chuckled.
"That's where you got it from, your mom?" Laura said.
"Yeah. My mom was a split image of me. Expect she more feminine." I said.
"Does she have gold tooth?" Peter said.
"No. Just me." I chuckled.
"What about your father?" Ebro said.
"I never really known my father. He died before I was born. That what my mother told me." I said.
"So, Maxx, you have crazy ass followers on social media and stuff and its not necessarily numbers or ten thousands or whatever. How many followers you have on Soundcloud?" Ebro asked.
"I have 18.5 million followers." I said.
"That's pretty much the same number that people want me to interview you. That's fucking crazy. Consider that you're an artist. The number of tweets I had to read about you. But you know that I notice some point." Ebro said.
"Well that a fucking cult fanbase. Excuse me while I take off my hoodie." I said as I took the headphones off for a second and took my hoodie off revealing them my dreads.
