R&B heartthrob Maxwell looks drastically different than he did 8 years ago when he released his last album, the platinum Now.

While constantly in the studio with chart topping artists penning hit songs, Rock City have been leaking a taste of their personal flavor to the streets through mixtapes. "The reason why we did the PTFAO mixtape was because the fans were demanding music and my brother and I agreed that at the end of the day, we love doing this for the fans. So we gave them the PTFAO sneak peak and we have 5 more mixtapes coming out and we will never stop" states Rock City member Da Spokesman.
