Eastside Duce & Maxx’d Out Cement Their Legacy with Mob Ties, Bridging the IE and LA Music Scenes
It all began about a year and a half ago when Eastside Duce, the San Bernardino-native artist and entrepreneur, was introduced to West LA’s Maxx’d Out through DB Filmz, a videographer from Duce’s A1$D1 (A1 Since Day 1) collective—and, incidentally, Maxx’d Out’s brother. That introduction sparked a connection that has since evolved into a powerful creative alliance between two regions often overlooked in collaboration: the Inland Empire (IE) and Los Angeles.
Maxx’d Out, an Executive and Recording Producer with over a decade of experience, has been steadily carving out his own path in the industry. Known for his polished ear and business acumen, he has now stepped fully into his potential, building an unmistakable imprint in the game. On the other hand, Eastside Duce, hailing from Del Rosa Avenue in San Bernardino, has long represented the voice of the streets—delivering gritty, motivational bars with the authenticity of a self-made hustler.
Their latest joint effort, Mob Ties, marks Duce’s 11th studio album and a new chapter in his career. True to form, Duce continues to evolve sonically while staying rooted in the motivational, street-savvy narratives that built his brand. The album also showcases Maxx’d Out’s refined production and vision, bringing a cinematic and cohesive feel to the project.
The seeds of this collaboration were planted in 2023, when the duo dropped two joint singles and visuals: “Sum’n Like A 808” and “Alfa Romeo Vibes.” Both records gained significant attention and fueled speculation about a potential full-length collaboration. That speculation was confirmed with the release of Mob Ties, kicked off by their single “Paul Walker,” a smooth yet hard-hitting anthem that set the tone for the project.
More than just music, Mob Ties symbolizes unity. It’s a testament to two hustlers coming together from different regions, building something greater than themselves. The project reflects their shared journey—celebrating victories, learning from losses, and remaining steadfast in their grind. It’s about keeping it player, moving with intention, and elevating with style.
In their own words, this album captures a moment—a snapshot of two driven individuals honoring the grind, the growth, and the game.
