During his hiatus, Madtraxx focused on his family and his other business interests, including a hotel chain that he co-owns with his mother.<\/p>\n
“I’m really grateful for the support of my family and friends during this time,” Madtraxx said. “They helped me through a really tough period, and I couldn’t have done it without them.”<\/p>\n
Madtraxx is now back in the studio working on new music. He said that he is excited to be back in the game and that he has a lot of new material to share with his fans.<\/p>\n
“I’ve been working on a lot of new music, and I’m really excited to share it with the world,” Madtraxx said. “I’ve also been working on some new projects, and I can’t wait to share more details about those soon.”<\/p>\n
