French Montana and Max B reunite with the immediate release of “Ever Since U Left Me (I Went Deaf).” The song arrives as the defining track from the new project “Coke Wave 3.5: Narcos.” Producers Johnny Goldstein and BeatsByJuko construct the instrumental, a direct continuation of the coke wave sound that has defined the collaborators’ history. The single and its accompanying video land via Coke Boys Records, marking the latest chapter in a partnership that reshaped New York’s rap landscape in the late 2000s. French Montana, the Moroccan-born American rapper and founder of Coke Boys, first championed Max B’s distinctive melodic style, forging a mixtape run that garnered a fervent cult following. Their collaborative “Coke Wave” series, particularly the early entries, established a blueprint for street rap with a sung, charismatic edge. Max B’s legal troubles and subsequent incarceration created a lasting narrative around his artistry, with French Montana often referencing his incarcerated brother in crime during his own ascent to mainstream success with hits like “Unforgettable.”

The release of “Coke Wave 3.5: Narcos” signals a deliberate return to that foundational era. The title “Ever Since U Left Me (I Went Deaf)” presents a defiant, unapologetic posture. The production by Goldstein and Juko offers a minimalist, haunting backdrop of 808s and synthetic melodies, leaving space for the artists’ vocals. French Montana delivers his signature ad-libs and boasts, painting pictures of luxury and relentless motion. Max B’s verse reintroduces his laid-back, melodic flow, a style that influenced a generation of artists who blended singing and rapping. The video complements the track’s tone, featuring the rappers in glamorous, cold settings that mirror the song’s themes of excess and emotional detachment.
