Maximum Strength marks the tenth solo studio release by American hip-hop artist KRS-One, which debuted on June 10, 2008, under the Koch Records label. The production team featured Duane "DaRock" Ramos, James Desmond, Dirt, Oh No, and Ser Kenoe, with Simone Parker serving as the executive producer. Notably, the album's name was initially assigned to a project intended for Jive Records during 1998–1999 that was ultimately shelved. Although promotional efforts implied this album might be the previously unreleased record, both the track listings and cover artwork showed considerable differences.
In the United States, the album attained a peak position of number 78 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
