French Montana is currently promoting the latest release of his Coke Boys 6 mixtape series and making the interview rounds in the process. In a recent appearance, the Moroccan-American rapper shared that an autobiographical documentary produced by Drake is currently in the works.
French Montana was a recent guest on Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson and spoke with the former boxing champion and his co-host Angie Martinez about a number of topics, most especially his early upbringing in Morrocco and his rise in Hip-Hop.

Early in the interview, Montana shared that he returned to New York to complete his documentary, and dedicated the project to this mother.
“It’s called For Khadija, that’s for my mother,” Montana shared. “You know she came out here and sacrificed for us. My father had left and she stayed, and she helped me become who I became, so I dedicated it to her. Drake is executive producing it. It’s a real immigrant story.”
Montana shared with Tyson and Martinez that he experienced culture shock after arriving in the United States at 13. At the time, Montana didn’t speak English but he soon acclimated to life in New York and the rest is history. During the chat, Montana celebrates his track “Unforgettable” going diamond, his charity work in Uganda and across Africa, representing Morrocco and much more.

French Montana already has his work plotted for 2023. DJ Drama has announced the newest Gangsta Grillz mixtape, Coke Boys 6.
As spotted on Hypebeast the Bronx, New York native is taking it back to the streets. On Monday, Jan. 2 the producer shared a teaser for the project on Instagram. The visual shows French casually walking into a private jet with the introduction to an unnamed song. “2023 New Year…Same Hustle Droppin 1/6,” Drama wrote as the caption. “@frenchmontana ‘Coke Boys 6…Money Heist Edition’ Gangsta Grillz…I Gave Yall A Chance To Catch Up…What Happened,” the caption read.
The tape seems to be a group effort as several of his Coke Boy collaborators are featured on the cover art inclining the late great Chinx Drugz and the incarcerated Max B. Coke Boys 6: Money Heist Edition was originally scheduled for a December 2022 release, but it seems it is finally ready. This marks French’s first release since his joint project Montega with Harry Fraud. Mr. Thanksgiving’s last Gangsta Grillz was with Icewear Vezzo’s Paint the City prior to the holiday.
