Raised in the North Philadelphia section of the city with his sister and inspired by his mother and father; who died when he was five, Meek Mill began taking the rap game seriously at the age of 12 after losing a street battle to neighboring rappers. He says his desire to rap grew after watching his uncle Philly hip-hop pioneer Grandmaster Nell. While hanging out in his neighborhood, Meek met three guys and formed the group, “BloodHoundz,” which consisted of Mel Love, Dat Nigga Leel and Young Pooh. The group lasted for fives years and Meek ventured on his own.
With a solo career in tow, Meek became one of Philadelphia’s hottest underground rap artists on an independent label. In 2007, Meek debuted his Flamerz series, which stands for hottest songs and released his first mix tape, Flamerz 1, which featured the hit single, “In My Bag.”
In 2008, Meek debuted the highly anticipated Flamerz 2 –“Hottest In Da City,” which showcased more of his lyrical abilities with the singles, “So Fly,” “Prolli,” and “Hottest In Da City.” Upon release of Flamerz 2, it caught the attention of founder and President of 215Aphillyated Records, Charlie Mack. Mack was immediately impressed with Meek that he signed him to his management company. During the same year, he met the founder and owner of Grand Hustle, TI. TI was impressed with his lyrical ability that he offered him an opportunity to travel to Los Angeles to meet with him along with the Warner Brothers Records, within one week both record companies offered him a deal. Meek was overwhelmed by the offers; however, he felt collaborating with TI was an opportunity of a lifetime and chose his label. An ecstatic Meek was on top of the world; a record deal and the chance to work with one of hip hop’s greatest rappers and then a set back occurred. He was arrested, charged with a crime and order to serve seven months in jail.
Meek pre-released three singles from his third mix tape Flamerz 2.5 – “The Preview” in August of 2009, which featured the chart topping hits, “Make ‘Em Say,” “Imma Da Ish,” featuring Ms. Jade and “Starting Something,” in honor Michael Jackson. Within the first two weeks of its release, Clear Channel added it to their play list, which is an anomaly in the music business. In June of 2009, Meek began immediately working on his freshman album – Flamerz 3, “Hottest In America – Gangster Grill Edition,” hosted by DJ Drama and featuring the songs: “Baby Girl,” “Hottest In America,” and “I’m Killinem.” The highly anticipated cd is set to be released on January 19, 2010. Despite his stint in jail, Meek’s fans remained loyal, he currently boasts of 13 million hits on My Space and 20 million viewers on You Tube. Meek Mill has recently just signed to Rick Ross's Maybach Music Group.
In the future, Meek plans to establish the Meek Mill Foundation, which will mentor young males between the ages of 12-24 on the importance of “Education over Incarceration.” He gives a shoutout to the next artist coming up named shizz.. He also plans to collaborate with United Community Action Network and the Lifers of Graterford Prison to address the violence plaguing our cities.

2015 - BEEF WITH DRAKE
In July 2015 Meek attempted to air out Drake for "not writing his own raps" via popular social media site Twitter. These tweets resulted in a huge reaction from the hip hop community, however, the stunt went awry when Drake (Aubrey Graham) decided to respond. Drake released the diss track "Charged Up" during an Apple Music stream and an immediate response from Meek was demanded. Funkmaster Flex announced he would debut Meek's response live on Hot97. However, the track never came. After four days there was still no sign of a response from Meek, prompting Drake to release a second diss track "Back To Back." The response to this was huge and a harsh blow to Meek's career. Two days later Meek finally released "Wanna Know." This track received largely negative reviews and it was clear to most that Drake had won the beef. On August 2nd at the annual OVOfest, Drake truly roasted Meek Mill; performing "Back To Back" in front of various memes poking fun at Meek to a raucous Toronto crowd. Many fans believed this to be the nail in the coffin spelling the end for Meek's career.

Ain't I ain't I ain't I
Ain't I on some shit
Ain't I fuck your bitch
Ain't I Grand Hustle ain't I fuck with TIP
Drama be the DJ I just spit that shit and he
Gon' bring it back like replay
Run shit like a relay
Bunch of Philly killers with me
They all look like Freeway
I know what we do is wrong
You can catch me in the
Hood probably somewhere don't belong
I keep with my tre pound long
And Omelly keep his glit
His clip hold like 33 that's
Three circles from a brick
On some shit, that's your bitch
No it ain't cause she ours
Pull up to the club we be on Banshees and CRs
Ask about us who we are
I'm a young king I'm wassup
I ain't asking for no ride I
Made it here all by myself
Come for the belt ya for the ring
Ask your ho I do my thing
I was locked up in the pen but
Still I shine like I was bling
On the block with that Yao Ming
Tryna move that China white
Ya I grind like I ain't even
About to blow like dynamite
I'm that Bull just call me Mike
I change hoes just like they're clothes
I change O's just like they're floors
And keep my money for them hoes
I keep money on re-load
I keep cash up in this stack
I don't even know these lames but
Yet they Joe me like Jihad
And I just laugh, Joe me like GI
Bitch I'm trying to fuck you
You keep worrying about TI
Haters they can see I'm all about my BI
Bitch I been on swag

Lotta niggas hate cause we be
Moving like the mob my boys in all black
Nigga run his mouth then then

You find me at state they got my nigga Dean
I be on promethazine
Show you how we walk them down
No time with them triple beams
I get a jawn break it
Down let my youngins grind
You see them tres of the meter
And they done with dime
You had your work all week shit I hustle mine

Hustle hard I ain't never fine
I just hit a lick, all white bricks
Fuck the drought we be flipping
Like a light switch ask my nigga he got a
We like a junkyard, we stay with metal shit
I can do it right or I can do it wrong
You buy it soft
Try to cook it you be losing homes
Neef Buck told me get them where I fit in
The mac look great but it's
Gorgeous with the clip in
And when it start to ripping
Niggas start to scraping and dipping
Hoping they don't catch it in their biscuit
West side of Philly nigga that be me
Disrespect and we check 'em like an ACG
They say your green not fire
Your white not oil you niggas at loyal when
You shining like foil

Ask your girl, she knows I excel at what I do
I was locked up in the pen but
I was incarcerated in prison but
Still I shine like I was bling
Still I radiate or achieve success like I owned expensive jewelry
On the block with that Yao Ming
On the neighborhood street corner with a lot of drugs (Yao Ming is a metaphor)
Tryna move that China white
Attempting to distribute a specific type of high-quality cocaine
Ya I grind like I ain't even
Yes, I work hard like I don't even
About to blow like dynamite
About to achieve major success or popularity

Girl, I have been confident, stylish, and fashionable
Ain't I on my job
Am I not focused on my work
Lotta niggas hate cause we be
Many people dislike us because we are
Moving like the mob my boys in all black
Operating in a similar manner to the mafia, my friends dressed in all black
Nigga run his mouth then then
If a person talks excessively then
Nigga lose his cap
The person will be killed violently
West Philly back block that's where
The back block of West Philadelphia is where
You find me at state they got my nigga Dean
You will find me there, the authorities have my friend Dean
I be on promethazine
I consume promethazine, a sedative drug
Show you how we walk them down
Demonstrate how we approach someone aggressively
No time with them triple beams
No time to waste with the three-beam scales used for weighing drugs
I get a jawn break it
I obtain a woman and break her
Down let my youngins grind
Put her to work and let my young associates hustle
You see them tres of the meter
You observe the three portions of drugs being weighed
And they done with dime
And they acquire small bags of drugs
You had your work all week shit I hustle mine
You had your job all week, but I hustle for my own earnings
I hustle hard
I work extremely hard
Hustle hard I ain't never fine
Work hard, I am always in a grind
I just hit a lick, all white bricks
I just committed a robbery, obtained all-white cocaine bricks
Fuck the drought we be flipping
Disregard the shortage of drugs, we are still selling and making a profit
Like a light switch ask my nigga he got a
Effortlessly, like turning on a light switch, ask my friend, he possesses
We like a junkyard, we stay with metal shit
We are like a junkyard, always armed with firearms
I can do it right or I can do it wrong
I can perform the task correctly or incorrectly
You buy it soft
You purchase low-quality drugs
Try to cook it you be losing homes
Attempt to refine or process it, you will fail and lose your place of residence
Neef Buck told me get them where I fit in
Neef Buck advised me to find my place or niche
The mac look great but it's
The weapon appears impressive but it is
Gorgeous with the clip in
Beautiful with the magazine inserted
And when it start to ripping
And when it begins to shoot or fire rapidly
Niggas start to scraping and dipping
People begin to run away or hide to avoid being shot
Hoping they don't catch it in their biscuit
Wishing that they don't get hit by a bullet
West side of Philly nigga that be me
I am from the western side of Philadelphia, that's me
Disrespect and we check 'em like an ACG
If someone disrespects us, we confront or confront them like an ACG (Air Conditioning Group)
They say your green not fire
They say your marijuana is not strong
Your white not oil you niggas at loyal when
Your cocaine is not pure, you guys are not reliable when
You shining like foil
You are showing off like aluminum foil reflects light
