Looked up Martin Rapaport. He's a titan in the diamond industry who has been trying to make diamonds cheap enough that they become a commodity for everyone rather than a luxury only for the rich. Trax aligning himself with Mr. Rapaport proves he is for the people, a legit businessman.
hmm a joo trying to get less money, i’m really curious for his true agenda
I've never bought diamond jewelry but if he man make diamond saw blades cheaper I'm all for it lol
Martin Rapaport has been working on that for years and years and years and nothing has changed....he says all that about making diamonds cheaper to make you feel good...the proof is in the puddin and African people are still dirt poor so don't say what Martin Rapaport is saying until its actually done...he is rich but yet every African diamond miner is making pennies....just like that one diamond that guy found for 6.5 million dollars and all they got out of it was a 20k school house...open your eyes....6.5 million dollars would build a modern day american town for those African people
Seems like he's exploiting Sierra Leone. No reason for the miners only getting pennies to the dollar. Tries to come off as a humanitarian but he's a known Zionist. Very weird propaganda using Trax to make it seem okay, even though it visibly cruel.

By far my favorite video from you... Much respect! NO jeweler is doing THIS! johnny Dang, Avianne, Elliante, Greg Yuna, Alex Moss, all scrubs in comparison. NOOOOBODY. The education and entertainment is priceless, I may need to watch again
This isn’t education… this is a documentary of a Jew taking advantage of black Africans. (Taking advantage)
Johnny owns a diamond mine and gold mine
Because their product sells it's self...
This video was well produced...Your team has a future with documentaries.
Slave labor
Right? Max has the potential to be getting 500k+ views per video with all his 3 Mill subscribers. This production is Hella professional, the commentary on the couch during the video puts it together excellently
Trax for Africa 🎉
That's what Oprah said with bill gates 🤢🤢
My mom has been there, she went with a group of volunteers and told me pretty much exactly what you said. She is the most humble and beautiful person that would do anything to help anyone.🙂 You are a good foken man! Sir. I respected you and admired your sense of humanity for a while now Trax. But, you have earned a shit ton more with your no-bullshit honesty and humanity Sir, my hats off.
shoutout to your mother, she sounds like an amazing person.
Like bill gates 😂😂🤢🤢
Is your mother a doctor or a nurse,teacher,C.I. A. Or jeweler? A tourist, perhaps...
@@pepepepito623 they travel to Africa to feed villages and give them bibles with other people from her church group. She is just a regular lady.
The best video you have ever done. Why? It tells the story about the people who find the diamond. The people are happy even though they may not have anything. It’s humbling. No games. No bullshit. No drama. People trying to survive
You actually believe this Jew Rapaport?
@@ethanrashid2807 have you ever been to Africa? Rapaport is OG in the diamond game. If you’re in the diamond business you know. As you get older what’s more important than money is having a legacy. So what you do and how you give is what sticks after you pass.
15:49 awwwww that little boy hugging him, warmed my heart!!!!
This is the greatest video you've ever done! Your NoJumper interview and this, are the best representations of you and your brand, literally the reason you stand apart. Kudos Max!
i just like his dumb confidence, proper new york shiit 😅🤣🤣 so funny
Damn good to know the greatest video he's ever done is quite literally showing off how much of a terrible person he is. My guy is a millionaire off the backs of slave labor and can't even fix his own teeth lmao
The welcome party scene was touching to say the least. I wear a selection of rough and partially polished diamonds that I wouldn’t trade for anything because of how rare they are, none are the same color shape or exact size, gives character
people who gives back, after they got rich themselves,
are top tie human beings!
there must be such joy helping others and seeing for your own eyes the life changing moment they give.
hats off, dude.
02-08-2024, Africa is rich in natural resources: gold, silver, diamond, gemstone, oil, natural gas, coal, uranium, thorium, lake, river and land. Thanks for diamond/gemstone mining educational. Good blessing to Max and your friend! Good work!☀️🌎⛪♥️👍

Awesome video Trax and crew, hard to find people that actually go to the source and support them directly. Mad respect.
This is the best trax vid ive seen and hes absolutely right about solving the worlds problems
Love all the good you do all around the world 🌍. blessing ❤🙏 TRAX
I enjoyed this episode more than most. However your recent one at the silver shop was great too. Much respect for being a man that puts goodness into the world.
You know it Brother. Pure joy is in giving.The high from giving is unmatched. Respect!
Trax Bro, this was one of the most awesome videos I have watched on UA-cam in the last 8 years from when I started watching UA-cam. Yeah I am a 50 so I am a late viewer to UA-cam. I honestly can't wait until I can afford a trip to NYC because your store is on my bucket list of places to visit hopefully in the next few years. Recently got laid off from my job, so it is going to take me some time to find a new and then get some cash set aside to come visit. Keep up the great work and vids Bro.
I appreciate that! Hopefully you’ll visit soon
@@TraxNYCDiamondJewelrypunk
@@alexgrayafc49wow you’re so cool.
@@alexgrayafc49 TRAX COULD BUY YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY
Bro! This is cuality content! This is as real it can get! This is the reason why you stand out bro 🔥🔥
Best video on UA-cam right now. Traxx is a real American. Proving that if you have a dream and you put in the hard daily grind, take risks, and have a little luck on your side you can do anything! I believe we are only now experiencing the beginning of his journey! He’s got a bright bright bright future ahead and we are all so fortunate to listen and watch on his journey. To all those going through life’s difficult times remember you are exactly where you are suppose to be right now. Absorb what you can, live in the moment, have goals, but most of all don’t be hard on yourself. Our own journeys are just getting started and we have plenty of time to figure it out. Be kind to those you love, be kind to those who need. We are all on this big rock together. Imagine what we could do if we all had a bit off Traxx in our hearts/minds.
Nice necklace, Trax!!!! You are an awesome brother all around the world, Thanks to Max and Martin!!!! "Stay blessed brother"!!!!
First 30 seconds you can wait to watch. Awesome TRAX!
Great video, you are so on the right path, your heart is there, I feel the same way you do about helping people, I may not be able to do it monetarily but I will feed and help anyone I feel needs it. It’s hard to not help when your heart tells you yes. Thanks for sharing, you are awesome!
Big❤ Trax...Glad you made the trip. This is how real Africa is...I hope you give back as much love as the diamonds too😊
Thank you for showing the real beauty of my country 🇸🇱❤️
I love this content. I have watched many of ur videos, and this might be the best one. Keep up the good work, Maks... respect
Max is giving knowledge to the masses every episode, so pay attention people & learn.This was a captivating episode/documentary. The impact of this trip on Max is obvious and gives viewer such a positive message! Good work Trax!
I missed that...
God bless brother! Thank you for spreading the love. . .
We need more people like u in this greedy world! U open everyone’s eyes to what it takes to get products to the market and lives it affect.. this is the reason why trax Nyc is so successful coz of what u guys do within the community.. thank u!
Im all the way from Arizona and been supporting u til the end.. hopefully one day me and my family will be able to visit Trax NYC main headquarter in new york! Much love!
Max spends as much time giving away physical stuff as he does knowledge. Kudos to you good sir.
I think you would give away a few things here and there if you were a millionaire off slave labor
@@yikes710YIKES!
Max is a real one!!!!💯 Much love and respect to TRAX NYC!!!!💯💯👊👊
This is the most meaningful video I have seen this year.. honest and candid commentary.. well done.
Longer, more in depth videos like this are the key! Keep doing these, this is good!
Thank you, Max and Martin ❤
This video was awesome, great job
I grew up in the jungles of Belize. I realized what you realize at 7 years old coming to America. You are a better man for doing this my friend. My brotha. Much love and many blessings
I'm actually impressed. was hesitant when I first clicked but you showed true character. Hats off to you. Hope that's real and keep it up please. the world needs more of these characteristics. I would have loved a trip like this. I'm sure it was mind blowing
Hands down best video I've seen. Whats the song at 2:33? 🔥🔥🔥
Bro! Best video to date. Keep that heart of gold. You have the vision, the people will not perish. #ShmoopyForPresident
great documentary! Its amazing how other parts of the world is just so much different from here in the states. Thanks for being a straight shooter with the miners and helping them out.
I wish I could have seen you when you came in our beloved country 🇸🇱 love from Sierra Leone ❤😂🎉❤
The poorest people having diamonds just means it allows the rich to take advantage of them more. I don't know how you can say it's changing peoples lives, when they are still working 12 months without pay, in the same conditions, whether they find diamonds or not..?
And you'd think a 6.5mill dollar would do more to the village than just a small school.
prolly best Trax video I've senn💎
I’m glad I watched this!
Thankful for people like you with such Heart.
Give thanks brother, to give the people a fair chance in life as well.
Straight up real Talk you gave.
Bless up 🤙🏽
-Lui from San Diego
Just found your channel from the video of you melting a “beautiful” gold bar with the Latvian gentleman… laughed my ass off at the dynamic between you two (family?).
Now watching you in Sierra Leone with the miners.. I can’t tear myself away!
Please keep traveling and reporting back to the rest of us.
I'm one of your best subscriber, thank you for visiting my country
Are you subscriber # 2?
And your country...2nd after Haiti...
TraxNYC is the best in the watch and jewelry world. Love the channel. Class act.
Trax is the type of man I aim to be. Anyone with half as much respect & work ethics deserves success
@TraxNYCDiamondJewelry & Rapaport
A huge thank you both, for supporting our people in our mother land, and for making this video. There’s so much abundance for everyone, and if only most at the top of the food chain, were generous. It is lovely to know that there wealthy people out there with kind hearts.
Sir super video. You're hero👍
Im blown away by the 13 cent coconut 🥥 too 😂 honestly your a great business man and philanthropist 😊
A grifting scam artist who profits off slave labor, fixed that for you lol
Here in Puelto Rico : $ 1.00 but we add rum...
Thank you for your empathy towards the Sierre Leone's people. Big UP TraxNYC!
My daughter just love all that you do and who you are. Someday we hope to make enough to buy her jewelry from you.❤🎉 you are the real deal and a true humanitarian!!! Wish we could meet you face to face someday. She loves learning about gemstones to business from you.
Blood diamond content, putting me right at a moral fork in the road. Do I stay subbed for the practical knowledge on precious jewels, metals and watches or do I head out with my principles of being adverse to the continued extortion of my people's people. Decisions, decisions.
Everyone knows how startups can blow up. Crypto is like investing in all startups. You have to find young upstart companies. You're never gonna make money with things like ADA or SOL. You have to find things under 100 million marketcap. HUNDRED 💯 for instance has already done 100X and it's still under 10 million marketcap. I think it can 100X again.
Where can you buy HUNDRED? Coinbase or something?
No it's not even on Coinbase yet which is why it's still an opportunity. It's on Uniswap.
My boy turned $1000 into 10K with hundred. I didn't get in 😔
Still early bro 🤣
It says I need BNB. Where do I get that?
Stay blessed Sir ,,GREAT MESSAGE FROM MR MARTIN RAPAPOR Saying make the world 🌎🌍 a better Place,,
Trax is Fly you look like a genuine person . It goes to show you you can have wealth and still be generous ,humble and gangster . Big ups Trax!!!!☝🏼♥️✌🏽
Hit me up, I’ll show you where the gold comes from ❤
Love it TRAXNYC!!! This episode is so RAW. TRAXNYC THE BEST!!!!
well done Max , much respect for your work abroad
God will bless you
you are a self made man who got balls but didn't forget where you came from
love from Germany
Stealing from a poor country
Did you watch the video? How are they stealing? The diamond has to leave the country to be sold to people who have money. Smh.
@@barryholiday8998 because giving a poor man a couple hundred for something you'll flip for thousands is just free and fair trade, right?
@@monopolizedopamine you clearly didn’t listen to what he was saying. Max and Martin are trying to give the people more money than they’ve been receiving in the past. They want more of the money to remain the communities. You clearly didn’t watch the video.
Also, the raw diamond is great but it needs to be cut and sold. That is highly expensive and requires very skilled craftsmen.
@@barryholiday8998 he already made a vid on this and was disrespectful and was month ago. he deleted all the shorts and vid. he had vids of giving away gold like he does on the street asking random tribal people gold or a 20 dollar bill and most took the 20 and he mocked the people that did not a bit and he got a ton of shit for it. there is still proof out there that this is old stuff from others that were mad. ua-cam.com/video/x6lzxI5e8BA/v-deo.html
God blessings your trip ,karibu Africa,nyumba ya madini,
Yasssssss! That was such a wonderful video. You are a good guy. I loved it when you saw the 19 sign and shook your head. You really hooked some of those people up, yeah. Thanks for taking us along ❤
A great move going to the very source and checking out the struggle and process miners go through to find diamonds . Am from Sierra Leone and am glad to support your business my next jewelry purchase will be from TraxNYC props to you guys for making this trip. Much love ❤️
Man, thats awesome what you did. God will bless you for it, 10 fold. May God bless you sir, and keep bringing love to this world, 1 person can make a world of an impact to those people. I think you should just hand out gold and silver over there.
Thanks bro for going to the SOURCE and shedding light on our people. Thank you sir
Max, you have the potential to be getting 500k+ views per video with all your 3 Mill subscribers. This production is Hella professional, the commentary on the couch during the video puts it together excellently. WE WANT MORE TRAVELING VIDEOS!! GO TO THE MINES IN MONGOLIA!!
Bro no words , just keep up the good work , honesty and generosity are your best traits ! Keep making good quality content and exploiting the real world! Respect!
Thank you for the knowledge and wisdom. The visual of what’s going on in Africa. My god bless you. So you can Bless Us…
This was so awesome and enlightening. Mahalo for the education and trying to make their lives better. They work and deserve to be paid for it. In my opinion, this was the best video by far❤🙏🤙
Must be an amazing experience! God bless Mr. Agadjani
Much love brother, thank you for being true to who you are.
I respect Max he has good and right mind that’s why he knows how to succeed in diamond district and that’s why he will never be poor
Trax nyc is one of the most interesting company up in district, I re watch 2nd time, and I think the reason why it interesting, because of the Brain 🧠 that runs it. Max good job and make more content like this
❤❤❤❤❤wow excellent video sir. You know lots of us are battling over here in africa.you are a good man. I wish all those wealthy people could think the way you do !!! You have a heart for others and that's a good quality that's in you. People buy unnecessary homes worth millions of dollars, not thinking that just 1000 dollars could change someone's life for the good in africa❤❤❤God bless you for what you done , the smiles you put on the faces of some of my fellow brothers and sisters in Africa. You the best❤❤❤❤
And thank for the love I watched the whole video how u giving gold that’s real lob people out there need a person like u
PPS- I LOVED THE AFRICAN MUSIC YOU PICKED FOR THE VIDEO..!!! Had me bopping the whole time...👍🏼👍🏼🎵🎵
We have an old silver mine from the 1800s on our property. To get the silver out they delt with scilica and lead poisoning, the refining process had about 7 different deadly fumes produced just for silver that was 2% of the total rock. The rest of it was lead, quartz, and sulfur. Miners live hard lives and deserve more credit worldwide
Very touching video. If I had trax's money I wouldn't ever go to Africa for safety reasons but mad respect. A man with a big heart.
Trax this was awesome!! From time to time business is fine but I always knew you had a good heart.
Max Mad respect too you bro u got a big heart ❤️ champ real talk you see the bullshit and you gave what you could that shows your character frfr.
hi trax, hope this message reaches you. This is the most insightful documentary ive seen about the diamond industry, truly learned a lot...keep up the good work, ill be watching the rest of the series soon.
Traxx is changing the world. God bless.
Trax is the man, can't wait to get a piece off you one day. Truly a legend in my eyes.
Thank you for this invaluable sharing!!!
YOU ARE AWESOME DUDE THANK GOD YOU HAVE THE MEANS TO HELP AND THINK THE WAY YOU DO
WE NEED MORE PEOPLE LIKE YOU
Massive, very honest and impressive presentation, we gat to give back honestly and with love to roots of hard work, to ensure are we a have contributed to the survival for humanity.
There needs to be more people on this world like you you help a lot of people out much respect
14:07, that's an ingenious way of taking a dump without having to stop the vehicle.
been a long time fan, seeing the youtube progress to traveling and showing what the world would soon rather be hidden such as sierra leone is amazing. you wouldve helped more people by your visit more than the message shared itself. people will hate you for going to an old war torn country, but they would never step foot in themselves and hate others that do and do good there too. i can tell you are as genuine as the people themselves. Fuck the haters
Thanks for being a Great Leader
TRAX ,What a fabulous insight ,thanks so much for sharing ,sending much love from Barbados 🌴x
PRICELESS INFORMATION
Never stop doing what u do. Your such a great human God bless ya 🙏
WOW imagine the help they got from all these years finding diamonds in their lands thank you La Rosa😊🧔🏾♀️& we don’t forget the big Santa Da Beers
Respect for what ur doing brother. You’re A real one 💯
