As we previously reported, Max B's appeal was recently denied meaning he could serve out the remaining part of his 75-year sentence in prison.

However, Max is not giving up and is currently working getting a new appeal.

Over the weekend, Mikey T The Movie Star caught up with Max to talk about what he has planned moving forward.

Max, real name Charly Wingate, has started a website called pardonthewave.com where fans can get information on how to write to him and also sign a petition that he hopes will lead to securing his freedom. Max is hoping to get 4 million signatures on the petition and then approach both New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and President Barack Obama for a pardon.

Max mentioned that his next appeal could come as soon as 18 months or drag out ten years if he's not on top of his business.

DJ Lazy K and Benny Negro will be hosting the "American Wave" listening party and fundraiser event on November 2, 2012 at Harlem's Tian at the Riverbank.

Expected guests include Styles P, Rich P, Rob Cash, Fat Joe, Al Pac, Mak Mustard and more.

If you can't make the event don't stress it because it will be streamed live on pardonthewave.com.

Chicago rapper King Louie releases the official music video for his hit "Val Venis." The song will be featured on King L's upcoming album, Dope & Shrimp.

Some of Madonna's fans would prefer it if she just sang instead of lecturing them on who to vote for.

During her concert in New Orleans on Saturday the pop superstar urged fans to vote for President Obama in the upcoming election.

"Who's registered to vote?" she asked the crowd. She then told them, "I don't care who you vote for as long as you vote for Obama."

The crowd reacted immediately with some people booing and others heading for the exit according to the Associated Press.

"Seriously, I don't care who you vote for...Do not take this privilege for granted. Go vote," she said.

The singer's "MDNA Tour" has hit several bumps. During a Paris show she angered French concertgoers by superimposing a swastika on the forehead of right-wing National Front politician Marine Le Pen. Le Pen said she would bring a formal legal complaint against Madonna for "making public insults."

"This is yet another provocation, intended to try to overcome [Madonna's] problems with her fans during a tour which is a complete flop," said senior National Front official, Florian Philippot.

In Instanbul she flashed her breasts and pulled down her pants baring her butt in Rome.

Madonna also drew controversy earlier this month when she used prop guns onstage and pretended to shoot several of her dancers while performing "Gang Bang" in Denver. A giant screen simulated splattering blood and falling bodies.

Concert goers were offended because just several months earlier James Holmes went on a shooting rampage at a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, killing 12 people and injuring 59 others.

Looks like Madonna's stunts are wearing thin.

It looks like 2013 will mark the return of Slim Shady to the music scene. Eminem has put out limited edition baseball hats with the years of each of his solo albums on the side panel. 2013 is the last year noted on the hats.

For a limited time only in honor of the big games and the hometown team's return to The D we are pleased to offer the Eminem Baseball Tribute Hat in both home and away colors. Side panel is dedicated to the landmark Eminem solo albums. A portion of the proceeds will go to The Marshall Mathers Foundation.

In May Em announced he was postponing his upcoming boxing film Southpaw to concentrate on new music.

"He's focusing on his music right now, so while he's doing that, while he's in that space, he wanted to put this on hold for the time being," Eminem's spokesman Dennis Dennehy said at the time.

The new album will be the eighth solo project for the multiple Grammy Award winning Detroit rapper and the first since 2010's Recovery, which has sold over six million copies worldwide.

Chris Brown is the latest artist to be profiled on the MTV show This Is How I Made It.

The singing superstar talks about growing up poor in Tappahannock, Virginia, his first public singing experience in church at age 9 or 10 and getting discovered while working with his dad at a gas station. 

From there his career took off. He met Tina Davis who eventually would become his manager. She got him an audition in front of L.A. Reid at age 14 and he killed it. That led to his first record deal.
