Due to the almost constant touring and recording with The Prodigy, Maxim rarely had a chance to make his own solo material. After the band started to take it more easy after the intense touring to support The Fat of the Land in late 1998, he finally had the spare time to work and finish some of his projects. That year he released "Dog Day" on the XL promo Against the Grain, which also featured Howlett's "Dirtchamber Remix" of "Diesel Power" (from The Fat of the Land) and Maxim's cover version of the Rolling Stones' "Factory Girl". On 9 August 1999 Maxim released the EP My Web, which contained five tracks. In 2000 Maxim had a collaboration with Skin from Skunk Anansie on the song "Carmen Queasy", which remains his biggest solo success. A second single, "Scheming", was released September 11, and finally the full-length
album Hell's Kitchen, was released on 2 October 2000.

Pre-Prodigy history
Maxim was born in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, England, youngest of four children, he went to the Jack Hunt secondary school, also in Peterborough. He enjoyed writing poetry and verse and began MC-ing around the age of 14. He gained inspiration from his ten year older MC brother, MC Starky Ban Tan, who introduced him into the Peterborough Reggae Soundsystem Scene. At the age of 17 he had his first gig in Basingstoke. Ian Sherman, a fellow musician from Nottingham teamed up with Maxim and they formed Maxim Reality and Sheik Yan Groove, where Sherman made the music and Maxim contributed with lyrics. After recording some tracks together and not getting any attention from the record industries, Maxim decided to disband and went on a three month travel throughout Europe and North Africa. Upon returning to England he moved to London to get more into the music and reggae scene of the metropol. Through a friend, Ziggy, he was offered a gig with a band called The Prodigy, which he accepted. He was planning to do just a few gigs with the band, but he later decided to stay. His maniac appearance and intense performance made him popular in the rave scene.
MC of The Prodigy
Originally joining The Prodigy to make the live shows become more alive, Maxim's lyrical talents were later incorporated in the studio works of the albums after The Prodigy Experience from 1992 (although his vocal contributions were heard in the live track "Death of the Prodigy Dancers" on Experience). Maxim provided lyrics in the single "Poison" from Music For the Jilted Generation (1994), as well as in the hit single "Breathe" from The Fat of the Land (1997). However, on the Prodigy album Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned from 2004, his vocal works were completely absent, apart from the single "Spitfire" and an appearance on the albums first single "Girls" in form of a remix called "More girls". He is still a full member of the band, though, performing in the live shows and, according to their official web site, recording material with Liam Howlett.

Maxim Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your intellect, I deform and warp, in my storm is where you're caught
Reinstate your faith, your only faith is me they love to hate
I'm the true dealer, with me they're familiar
Caught up in my web, you got me caught up in your head
I'm the shadow dark, that hides behind your heart
Dr. Jekyll inside, if you'll be Mr. Hyde
Caught up in my web
You got me caught up in your head
Caught up in my web
You got me caught up in your head
Systems I pollute, come bite my forbidden fruit
Stain your environment, chalk up my bad influence
Saturate reality, go to battle with your sanity
The human race I exploit, and I leave you no choice
Flood and overflow your cranium, what's the millennium?
Personality not present, overturn your only innocence
Suffocate your desire, set your vivid force on fire
Into my world which you brought, prepare for second onslaught
Caught up in my web
You got me caught up in your head
Caught up in my web
You got me caught up in your head
Caught up in my web
You got me caught up in your head
I'll stunt your growth, degrade your self-esteem, leave you no hope
Bleach your eyes with turpentine, tamper with the cord in the spine
Subside your love life, separate the yolk from the white
I'm the true creator, mind decapitator
I'm the evil that lurks, the pain inside that hurts
Spike your dreams, plant my thoughts obscene, unclean
Impregnate your ears, when you hear me, it's me you fear
Me they hate the most, oh fuck, here comes the third dose
Caught up in my web
You got me caught up in your head
Caught up in my web
You got me caught up in your head
Caught up in my web
You got me caught up in your head
Caught up in my web
You got me caught up in your head
Dissect you, detect my style like Ceausescu
Sell your soul, libido, jeopardize, pulverize your ego
Dice and slice your skills, your pride inside, I kill
Show no remorse, you shouldn't play with the true force
Terminate and scandalize, damage, expose, rectify
You best fake your death, after me there'll be nothing left
Abuse and torture, lyrically bring the lamb to the slaughter
Increase my pace, style for direct in your face
Caught up in my web
You got me caught up in your head
Caught up in my web
You got me caught up in your head
Caught up in my web
You got me caught up in your head
Caught up in my web
You got me caught up in your head
With me they're familiar
The lyrics to Maxim's song "My Web" are a warning of sorts about the dangers of falling under the control of someone or something more powerful than oneself. The song is a metaphor for the trappings of addiction, particularly those surrounding drug use. It speaks both to the lure of the high and the enslavement it brings to those who become hooked. The narrative tracks the insidious way in which drugs worm their way into one's psyche, granting pleasure at the cost of one's senses and reason.
The opening lines "Distort your mind, corrupt children of all kinds, your intellect I deform and warp, in my storm where you're caught" speaks directly to the way a drug user can become fixated on their habit, losing touch with reality and behaving erratically. The lyrics go on to describe how addiction seizes control of one's life, becoming the only source of faith and pleasure in the world. The singer of the song presents himself as the true dealer, the only one with whom they are familiar.
The song describes the myriad ways in which addiction infiltrates every aspect of one's existence: polluting one's systems, weakening one's willpower, and suffocating any desires outside of obtaining the next fix. The repeated refrain of "Caught up in my web, you got me caught up in your head" is a clear statement of the singer's triumph and the user's helpless surrender. Overall, "My Web" is a cautionary tale about the ruinous allure of addiction and the dangers of being consumed by something greater than oneself.
