Who Is Maxo Kream?


Growing up in Southwest Houston, Maxo Kream is no stranger to the harsh realities of life. It’s an authenticity that can be heard in each one of his hard-hitting tracks, even when he's trading verses alongside giants like Tyler, the Creator and Anderson .Paak. Yet, when speaking to the rapper who is currently very much on the come-up at this year’s Lollapalooza, his relaxed and comical demeanor tells a different story, one underscored by an undying sense of optimism for what’s next.
