French Montana – Coke Wave 3.5: Narcos [Album Stream]

The wave is back in full color.

French Montana and Max B reunite on “Coke Wave 3.5: Narcos,” picking up a story that started in the mixtape era and somehow still feels like unfinished business. After years of “when Max gets home” talk, the duo finally gets to move like it’s 2009 again—except the beats are bigger, the sequencing is tighter, and the chemistry is still ridiculous.

Sonically, Narcos plays like a reunion tour that refuses to be a nostalgia act. It opens with the flag-planting energy of “Make America Wavy Again (MAWA)” and “Whippin That Wave,” then slides into cinematic street-rap moodboards—slick hooks, boss-talk ad-libs, and those Max B melodies that always sound like they’re smiling through the static. The title cut “Narcos” leans into the alter-ego vibe (Don Snow / Montega), while the Metro Boomin link-ups (“Metro Wave,” “Serenation,” “Narcos”) bring the wave language into a modern bounce without sanding off the grit.

A few moments hit extra hard because they’re more than just “new songs.” The project nods to the original Coke Boys energy with Harry Fraud in the mix and also makes space for a posthumous Chinx feature on “Na Like Me,” which lands like a late-night Queens cameo in the middle of a Harlem movie.
