Production was led by Wolfe De Mçhls (also known as Wxlf Gxd) who produced six tracks, including album opener "Thirteen".

#Maxo187 details Kream's teenage experiences in southwest Houston, with accounts of home invasions, robberies and life as a 52 Hoover Gangster Crip.

Later, the single appeared on Frank Ocean's curated playlist on Spotify, Blonded.

In the Pitchfork review of the mixtape, the track was described as a "drug peddler anthem with [a] bouncing flow that explore[s] static thump[s] and a syrupy codeine haze.

From the bombastic, trap-on-steroids production of the intro track to the psychedelic graveyard music of "KKK" and the slow-churned, moody turn-up of "Astrodome," Maxo juxtaposes his ruthless cutthroat-raps with a variety of well-produced, quality beats on Maxo 187.
