According to reports, Harlem rapper Max B has been granted an appeal on his murder charge.

The incarcerated rapper's manager, Joli O'Shay, told XXL that Max has been granted an appeal, has hired a new lawyer, and is currently awaiting his appeal date. "He's gonna try hopefully to go back to trial, or get it a mistrial or get it time served, whatever we can do," said O'Shay.

On September 3, 2009, Max was handed down a 75-year sentence for his role in a 2006 robbery that left one man dead in a Fort Lee, NJ hotel. The rapper was charged with counts of felony murder, manslaughter, kidnapping, armed robbery and conspiracy.
