French Montana and Rick Ross Keep the Verzuz Energy Going with “Smoking Pt. 2”

French Montana and Rick Ross weren’t done after Verzuz.

Fresh off their head-to-head battle Thursday night, the two rap vets kept the momentum rolling with the release of “Smoking Pt. 2,” linking back up alongside Max B for a record that feels straight out of the Coke Wave era.

And honestly, the timing made the release hit harder.

The track premiered during the Verzuz stream, where fans watched French and Ross trade records, luxury talk, and years of catalog cuts before debuting the new collab live. Max B’s appearance during the moment immediately had social media talking.

“Smoking Pt. 2” leans into that signature fly-boy energy both artists built their careers on, big smoke, bigger money, and laid-back confidence over a smooth, nostalgic beat. French sounds fully in pocket here, while Ross slides through with the same luxury-heavy presence he’s mastered for years. Max B ties everything together with a hook that feels straight out of a late-night wave session.

The release also serves as another preview of French Montana and Max B’s upcoming project Wave Gods 2: Cosmo Brothers, set to drop later this month.

At this point, French Montana and Rick Ross don’t really need to compete with each other. They know exactly what lane they built together.
