Then, in 2019, it was shortened again to 12 years. But, rap fans truly started waiting for the day to come when Max B called into the Joe Budden Podcast earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cWe got a date!

He also spoke about his anticipation of adjusting to the outside world after spending so much time away. Before serving this prison sentence, the rapper had only been a free man for four years, after doing time for another robbery conviction, where he served eight years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI got a little anxiety, yeah. But I ain\u2019t been gone since the \u201980s. When I left, it was technology. Now, I know it\u2019s just more accessible.
