Max aka Millz passed earlier this year, and had
been half of the tag team champs of our local War Games battle rap league,
where we had hip hop battles inside an MMA-like cage. Him and his partner Chuck
Nasty made up GRYSCL, who dropped a project after Max’s death, which hurt his
creative community. In the recent protests in Richmond, at the very beginning,
on the Lee Monument (which is now known as Marcus-David Peters Circle, in honor
of a man who was shot and killed by police a few years back), someone sprayed “MILLZ”
high up on the monument. It survived the first few weeks, but now the monument
has become a layered message board of graffiti messages. Many of us who knew
Max were stoked to see his name up there posthumously, still being part of the
revolution. RIP Max.
