Maxtallies always felt connected to rap and songwriting, even from the very beginning. With a great history in the rap game, Maxtallies is a public favorite because of his ability to get to the heart and soul of what people are really going through at the moment. His song “Neighborhood” perfectly capitalizes on the empathy he has, because it truly gets to the nitty gritty of what it is like for an African-American growing up in the world today; with all the racial oppression, a failing education system, ignorance in the community, and much more. There is real emotion and depth to the music that Maxtallies creates, and his songs speak volumes about what he is truly capable of as both a rapper, and extremely talented songwriter.

He perfectly merges older beats, tones, and sounds with the newer beats of today, which results in incredibly amazing, one-of-a-kind beats, that are always interesting and very dynamic. Compassionate and engaged with the problems facing the African-American communities today, and empathetic to the issues plaguing society as a whole, Maxtallies speaks for the masses. He is a voice for the voiceless, and a leader for the community. He believes in justice and peace above all else, and as far back as he can remember, he has been commenting on social issues using his insightful and awe-inspiring music.

Maxtallies considers music and rap to be one of the main outlets that he uses to deal with the state of the world as it is today. He deeply loves rap, and sees it as a way out of the chaos; a truly cathartic way to artistically show what humanity is going through right now.
