The wave is officially back.

On January 9th, 2026, French Montana and Max B are reuniting for Coke Wave Narcos 3.5. For longtime fans, this moment feels both surreal and long overdue — especially after Max B’s recent release from prison reignited excitement around his long-paused career.

Their original Coke Wave tapes captured a gritty, melodic, and effortlessly charismatic sound that helped define a new lane for New York street rap in the late 2000s. With 3.5, the duo aims to reconnect that classic wave energy with the modern era.

From the teaser trailer to the early studio clips circulating online, you can already feel the chemistry back in full force. French’s polished swagger and Max B’s unmistakable wavy charisma seem to lock back into place as if no time has passed. And while fans spent years debating the lost Coke Wave 3, this new chapter — symbolically titled 3.5 — feels like both a continuation and a fresh restart.

This comeback isn’t just about nostalgia. It’s about Max B reclaiming his place in a culture he helped shape from behind the wall. It’s about French Montana reconnecting with the collaborator who helped him carve out his earliest lane. And it’s about giving a new generation a taste of the wave they’ve only heard about in stories.

Are you excited for this new collaboration between French and Max, or has too much time passed?
