After rehab, I started to make friends with my enemies. I wanted to make things right with Liam, so I flew into New York City to talk to him at a club. I walked in with my bodyguards.

"What's up, Maxx?" a fan exclaim at the club as I gave him a dab.

"Waddup, waddup." I said to the fan.

I saw Liam sitting in the VIP section which was private. I walked up to him, but the securities stop and pushed me away.

"Hey! Hey! Hold up! Hold up! Relax, homey. We in the club. Liam, I heard you was out here." I said to the security as I shouted out to Liam, the guards let me in. His crew got up out of their seats and so did Liam and he came up to me face to face.

"Yeah, I'm here! What you need?" Liam said.

"Everybody can calm the fuck down from the looks of it. I was just in town doing an interview with Charlemagne. Just came to say what's up." I said.

"What's up?" Liam said in a straight face.

"I saw your role in Brooklyn Jackin. It was good." I complimented.

"You ain't gonna say that shit was a knock off of New Jersey Drive?" Liam said.

"I like New Jersey Drive." I said as I stare down at Liam as he both crack a smile.

Turns out we're all good now.

"What's up, man. Good to see you on the right track again. You been good?" Liam said as he gave me a dab.

"Yeah, man. I'm good now. It's good to see you, again. You almost had niggas jump me." I said.

"Fool, you had niggas jump us back in the day." Liam said as we both sat down and chat.

"How you went from doing R-rated movies to PG movies?" Liam chuckled.

"Well you gotta make something appropriate for the younger fans." I said.

"No offense to Black Panther, but it's time for the Static Shock craze now." Liam said.

"You got that right." I chuckled.

"Man. Look, man. When I heard what happened to Palace, I was shocked as shit. Like... I can't believe he's gone. I just wish that dumb shit really would've never popped off between us. I shouldn't never dissed y'all in the first place." Liam said.

"Making the fans choose between us? That wasn't cool. I mean I've done a lot of things that aren't cool." I said.

"You right. You ever think we'd be that big though?" Liam said.

"Hell no." I said.

"I was just talking to my girl about that... how it was in the beginning. We just wanted to do music, so we can get out of where we came from. Be ghetto emo stars." Liam said.

"Ghetto Emo Stars would be a great track." I chuckled.

"You that right. It would be a hit. Hit!" Liam said.

"But what if we had the chance? To find out, how big we can really big." I said.

"Man, you got my mind working." Liam said.

"I've been thinking about that shit all the time. If we can take that shit back to everything, 7 years ago, we would changed the world." I said.

"Now that you mention, it was hard times. But, sometimes, I keep thinking about that time when we all got arrested at that show. Shit ain't gonna stop there. But if we gonna do this again, we gotta do right. And if Skullboy, Rooftop, Monty and Ricky are with it. I'm with it. But, I don't know your relationship with them now. But if you want to do it, Alex can be there." Liam said.

"I'll think about it. Someday. I hear you." I said.

"Yeah?" Liam said.

"Yeah." I said as me and Liam cling our glass together.

"Alright, so tell me. When is that Static Shock movie coming out?" Liam said.

"It's still in working progress. I gotta go do the voiceover." I said.

"Cool. Can't wait for it." Liam said as he took a sip of his drink.

I went to Los Angeles, at Warner Bros Studios, to do the voiceover for Static Shock. Alexander came with me, while he was talking on the phone. I tried to tell him something, but he was too busy on the phone.

"Hey, Alex, listen I wanna talk to you about something." I try to ask him.

"Not now, Ly. I'm in a busy meeting right now. You go look at the sketches and go get in the booth." Alexander said.

"Alright.." I said sarcastically.

Before I went in the vocal booth, I got to look at the pictures and the visuals of the Static Shock movie. The animators did an amazing job with the details and the textures of Virgil and background features. I went to the vocal booth to record my lines. I had to do a lot takes, but I gotta sound perfect. After spending a whole week in the studio. The movie has been complete. There will be more voice actors for the film such as, Finn Wolfhard as Ritchie (Virgil best friend), Brian Tyree Henry as Robert Hawkins (Virgil father), Teyana Taylor as Sharon Hawkins (Virgil older sister) Nicholas Cage as Superman, Liev Schreiber as Lex Luthor, Zoe Kravitz as Lois Lane, Hailee Steinfield as Frieda (Virgil crush), Cody Christian as Francis Stone aka Hotstreak (Virgil bully and his archenemies) and Mahershala Ali as Rubberband Man. 

While the movie was being done editing by the animators, I decided to be an executive producer for the soundtrack with artist as Swae Lee, Schoolboy Q, Khalid, Vince Staples, Nicki Minaj, Anderson Paak, Jaden, Juice Wrld, Timbaland, Lil Wayne, Ty Dolla Sign, Dj Khalil, Amine, Denzel Curry and Liam.  With new artist such as Blackway, Rio Santana, Judah, Andrez, Duckwrth, Beau Young Prince, Thutmose, Black Caviar and Saudi. My first single track for the soundtrack was, Invincible. It debuted at #9 on the US Billboard Hot 100, spending three weeks in the top five and reached #1 on the charts. The second single, "At It Again" by Timbaland featuring Blackway, Magoo and Sebastian. It failed the charts next to the third single, Scared of the Dark featuring Lil Wayne, Ty Dolla $ign and me. The soundtrack album debuted at #5 on the US Billboard 200 with 52,000 album-equivalent, including 14,000 in pure album sales. While the soundtrack did well on the charts I just hope the movie does well and end the DC Universe curse.
