After I turn 19, I talk to Alexander on the phone if I can make, "Check Me Out" an official single and he agreed. I had ideas on how to promote the song. The official song cover would have multiple mugshot pictures of me and the single would be release two weeks from now. After two weeks, the song has been available on iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music and Google Play. Few weeks later, the song went #4 on Billboard 100 Chart. I gained a lot of attention from other rappers, especially Kanye West. I went on Twitter and saw his tweet promoting my music. I went to Brooklyn to shoot the music video and Kanye was on set, he made an appearance as my chauffeur in the video. Three weeks later, the video has been released and had 1 million views on YouTube. I went back on HOT 97 for another interview.
"Yo, Maxx your new track, "Check it out" is killing it on the radio. How do you feel about that?" Ebro asked.
"Really blessing, man. Like I said before if it wasn't for my fans, I wouldn't be here." I said.
"Maxx, this record is like Heavy metal-trap that nobody has made before." Laura said.
"Well sometimes you got make something that has never been made before." I said.
"So, listen, you're here to make an announcement. What is that?" Ebro said.
"I'm gonna be at Summer Jam this year!" I yelled at the mic.
I perform at Summer Jam and played my hot track, Check Me Out. I stopped at the middle of my perform and rant about this photographer behind.
"Hey, hey, dude. You're blocking my view. Get the fuck out of the stage." I said as the photographer moved off the stage shamefully.
On Twitter, I got several backlash from people that I was foul for doing that to camera man. One of them said, "Maxx, did not have to do that to the poor kid. He was just doing this job." tweeted mlfjustin123.
"I cannot support Maxx Misfit, anyway. First he killed someone and he kicked a camera man off the stage. Get out of here." tweeted julienunn.
"Maxx Misfit is trash anyway. Fuck that nigga." tweeted creedmann.
I took to Twitter and write, "My apologies to the kid on the stage, I understand that he was doing his job. I didn't realize that. I would send him my Jordans for a sorry gift."
Four months later, Alexander told me it was time to release a new single, and I know just the one. I decide to make a song about, Alice and called it "Alice." I went to the recording studio, lay down the lyrics that I wrote in jail. Went to the vocal booth, put the headphones on and start recording. The music sounds slow and mid tempo with drum beats. Peanut and Liam was in the studio and they heard the song. They were shocked by my change of style.
"That's new." Liam said.
"Yeah, nigga." Peanut said.
I went to Def Jam meetings to play the song for them and they were surprise by it. They agree that "Alice" would be my second single. After the single been released it reached number #5 on the Billboard charts. High schoolers have been dancing to this song at prom slow dancing. Some people find it very emotional. Charlemagne the God from The Breakfast Club even talk about my new single saying it was a good.
I went back to Atlanta to finished my album, the Wreck-it-crew was in the studio too, we were partying and smoking weed. I was alone in the studio with two groupies, one of them took their top off exposing her breast at me. The other one unzip my pants and start going down on me. Two weeks later, I finished recording my album and tweet, "Album done." Def Jam told me I brought the rock back to rap. I did what I had to do. I even named my debut album, "Look Through My Eyes." It had 13 tracks on it and Young Thug, Lil Uzi Vert, Trippie Redd, Nicki Minaj and YK Osiris. I took to Instagram and record a message to my fans that my album is out. "If they didnt know Maxx Misfit before, they damn sure know it now, go get my album 'Look Through My Eyes' out now." I ended the message. I hosted a underground release party and Alexander came especially, Liam, Peanut and the Wreck-it-crew. The music was blasting the area, people and women were dancing to music and lights were flashing as I walk towards my Game of Thrones like chair. Alexander got the mic and thanks everyone for coming. "Hows everybody doing?!! I just want to thank everyone for coming out and celebrating this young man album. Trap music ain't never gonna be the same because of this kid here, Maxx Misfit!!" Alexander said as the party goers cheered. I look around at the party seeing everybody celebrating me as I smoked a blunt. I said to myself, "I cant believe I'm here. I didnt know I would get this far and I just got here. Like damn, man." Liam came up to me and said, "Yo, man I cant believe this is all for you man. Like shit." He said. "I know, man. Its fucking crazy." I said.
"Just wanna say I'm proud of you, L." Liam said.
"Appreciated, man. Here you can have this." I said as I gave him my weed.
The album went #5 on the Billboard Charts, #3 on iTunes, 50,000 streams on Spotify. #3 on the U.K. charts and 10,000,000 streams on Soundcloud. In order to promote the album, I went on tour called, "The Impact Tour" with 26 tour dates in the states. Liam aka Lil Dee and Rooftop where my opening acts. On my Philadelphia tour date, I had the whole crowd lit, until I reach for the crowd. One guy try to snatch my chain off so I beat him and left him with a bloody nose. Most of my reviews think that my concert is full of rage, destructions and mayhem due to my fans rioting and mosh pitting, but I didn't give a fuck. On my Texas tour date at the House of Blues Dallas, I did a stage dive on the balcony where my fans caught as I performed my song, "I wanna die." It was a hype trap metal core song that have a screaming rage voice. I cancelled my tour date in Arizona, due to unforeseen circumstance and my fans started a riot and got on top of a police car. They had to hired backup, to stop the raging teenage fans. They threw teargas at them and start running. On my last day of tour in Atlanta. I was going to perform my last song, "Check Me Out" but I wanted my fans to rage the hell out.
"Listen, listen, listen. This is going to be my last song for the night. But, before I play this song, listen. I want everybody to turn the fuck up when this beat drop, ready?" I told the crowd on my mic.
"Yeah!!!" yelled the crowd.
"Okay! One! Two! ONE! TWO! THREE! GO!!!" I yelled as I performed Check Me Out as the crowd started jumping and mosh pitting. Water was thrown out of the crowd.
"YEAH!!" I screamed at my energizing fans.
I finished my Impact Tour and went straight home. I laid in bed and said, "Damn, what I night." I said.
Few days later, I started to get a tattoo of a Kangaroo on my neck. I know, my mom won't like it, but I'm an adult now. I don't care if she won't like it. It's my body. My choice. About a year later, I check the Grammys website to see if I was nominated, but I was not nominated for Best New Artist, Best Rap Performance, Sung Performance, Best Rap Song or Best Rap Album.
"Fuck!" I slammed the laptop down.
"Ly, watch you mouth, boy." Katherine said to me.
"Look, it's alright. Sometimes the Grammys miss some of the new artist." she continued.
"No, ma. They didn't nominate me because I'm too controversial or the fact that I killed someone." I said as I walked upstairs.
Alexander called me on the phone and said, "Listen, Ly, I'm sorry, alright. We just missed the deadline and we forgot to submit your album in." he explained.
"Sure, we missed the fucking deadline." I said to him on the phone.
"I'm sorry, Ly, they'll be other awards shows." Alexander said.
"Well, you got that right, because I've been writing shit down, for the past few months and I already got some ideas for the next album. This shit is going down in the chapter like a bible, you hear me. Maxx Misfit ain't gonna stop not ever gonna stop!" I said.
"Well, I'm looking forward to hearing it. Alright, later, L." Alexander said as he hangs up.
I went to Alice's old house where she used to live, but when I went there, nobody was there, neither was her father. It turns out Alice's father was evicted and the place was empty and dirty. I found my black and white mask that I was wearing when I was robbing her father. I picked it up and white the dirt of it.
"This is the next chapter." I said to myself looking at the dirty mask.
