Rapper Max B has been released from prison, after serving almost eight months for conspiracy charges relating to an armed robbery in Fort Lee, New Jersey, back in September 2006. The hip hopper, real name Charles Wingate, a member of Harlem based collective The Diplomats, in recent years signed up to a two album Asylum Records deal via fellow former Diplomat and Warner A&R star Jim Jones.
Jim Jones was on hand to greet his colleague on his release from prison, and the pair went on to a recording studio to celebrate with other associates. It's not known what the terms of Wingate's release were.
