Biografía de Meek Mill

Possibly the finest Philly rapper of the modern age, Meek Mill has spent years grinding his way to top and now he has finally arrived.

Raised by a single mother after his father was shot dead when he was aged 5, Meek Mill passed up the hustler’s lifestyle and instead began focusing on the rap game when he was 16. With a succession of mixtapes he began to build his profile, with fans being drawn to the consistency of Meek’s work.

The release of his forth mixtape ‘Flamers 2: Hottest In Tha City’ was the event that really kicked the rest of his career into motion. After signing a management deal, an encounter with Atlanta’s T.I led to a meeting with Warner Bros and eventually, Meek becoming a part of T.I’s Grand Hustle label. Unfortunately legal troubles for both the artists stifled any chance of a release coming out on Grand Hustle but during this time, Meek Mill had also struck up a partnership with Rick Ross and in February 2011 he signed to Ross’ Maybach Music Group label.

Meek’s hype began to build at this point, aided by things like an appearance of XXL’s Freshmen list and his popular Dreamchasers mixtapes. All this culminated in the release of his debut album ‘Dreams and Nightmares’ in 2012 which, with features from the likes of Drake and Wale, went to number 2 in the Billboard 200.

The success of his album lead to Meek making his own label Dream Chasers Records where he has begun to foster and develop new talent so that they might follow in his footsteps and become one of biggest rap artists in America.

It was honestly the worst concert I've ever attended. I couldn't be more disappointed. A group of myself & friends paid $50 for vip which promised us; no wait in line, exclusive bar access, and a closer section to the stage. We didn't get any of the things we were promised. As VIP, we waited 2 HOURS to even get inside! General admission members were able to get in quicker than us! The concert which was supposed to start at 9, didn't start until close midnight. And to top the night off, 21 savage is a horrible performer. He only sang 3 songs and the crowd was sound asleep.
Worst night of my life.
I will be writing the venue for a refund. I would like to get my money back & pay for a general admissions ticket!

If I was to launch a rap career in the kind of hip hop scene that we’ve seen take hold over the past decade or so, the word ‘meek’ would be one of the very last words to spring to mind in terms of an adjective to include. alongside the likes of ‘timid’ and ‘modest’; it’s just not the done thing to behave that way in the present-day rap game. Given that his birth name is Robert Williams, though, Meek Mill couldn’t go by that - too much room for confusion on this side of the pond - so instead, he went with a moniker that is indeed as misnomer; you can’t work closely with Rick Ross and not have a garish taste for too much money, too many cars, and hideous jewellery. Either way, Mill has proved a huge hit as part of Ross’ Maybach Music Group, with his only album on the imprint to date, Dreams and Nightmares, going in at number two on the U.S. charts; his blend of typical rap fare with socially conscious lyricism and unusually nasal delivery have seen him stand out from the crowd. He’s currently readying album number two, Dreams Worth More Than Money, so expect to see him return to the UK soon, possibly with MMG labelmates in tow; his hectic shows are already becoming the stuff of modern day legend.
