On July 17, 2026, Rick Ross released Set In Stone, his twelfth studio album and his first solo project since Richer Than I Ever Been in 2021. It came out through Maybach Music Group and gamma.
Max B is on it, and the record he is on opened the entire rollout.
Minks in Miami
"Minks in Miami" came out March 20, 2026, produced by Damn James. Rick Ross, French Montana and Max B.
The songwriting credits read William Roberts II, Karim Kharbouch, Charly Wingate and James Royo. Max B has a writing credit on it.
Max B sings the hook, interpolating "I Just Want to Celebrate" by Rare Earth. French Montana closes with a verse built on the Bronx. Ross anchors the whole thing in his register.
The music video was directed by Kid Art and put all three of them in Miami with jewelry and a young white tiger.
What it did on the charts
| Chart | Peak |
|---|---|
| Billboard Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay | 1 |
| Bubbling Under Hot 100 | 17 |
| Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs | 41 |
It did not cross onto the Hot 100 itself.
For Max B that number one was the second of the year on a second different Billboard chart, after "Ever Since U Left Me" took Rhythmic Airplay. For French Montana it was his third career number one.
Getting a number one on somebody else's album, four months out of a sixteen year sentence, on a chart you have never appeared on before, is not a normal outcome. The full chart history puts it in context.
What the critics said
HotNewHipHop's Tallie Spencer wrote that the French Montana and Max B appearances added "a nostalgic edge that longtime fans will appreciate," while Ross "anchors the record with his commanding delivery."
Grungecake put it more directly: Ross glides over the 808s, French delivers, and "Max B anchors the record with a soulful hook that instantly elevates the track's emotional pull."
That word, anchors, showing up in both reviews about two different people, is the whole point of the record. Three regional styles that should not sit together, and the thing holding it in place is the melody. That is what the wave has always been.
The album around it
Set In Stone is stacked. Guest appearances include Big Tony, BigXthaPlug, Deon Cole, Don Toliver, French Montana, Gucci Mane, Jeezy, Leon Thomas, Max B, Nino Breeze, Rich the Kid, T.I., The-Dream and Yung Miami.
Ross announced the July 17 date on June 11, 2026, and shared the tracklist the day before release.
Why this placement matters
There is a difference between an artist coming home and getting a look, and an artist coming home and getting placed at the center of a major album rollout by one of the most consistent hitmakers of the last twenty years.
Rick Ross did not put Max B on an album cut. He put him on the record that opened the campaign, gave him the hook, and let him carry the melodic identity of the single. That is a statement about where Ross thinks this voice sits.
It also did the practical work. "Minks in Miami" is over 5 million Spotify streams and it introduced Max B to an audience that came in through Rick Ross rather than through Coke Wave.
