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.
BRUSH EM OFF
Meek Mill Lyrics
Jump to: Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shiny patent leather Pradas looking
Like a bowling ball
Diamonds on my neck and wrist
Haters like he showing off
Cause I be shitting on these
Nigga all around and overall
Back up on my old shit bout
I scoop your bitch up and her friend like
I just want fuck both of y'all
Kilo fresh how you want it sofa soft
Cause I get it to you fast hold
Up let me phone a call
Meek Milly with the dealy how you feelin
I say I feel like a million when
I step up in the building
My neck tell you that I'm chilling
My wrist say that I'm ok
I be stunting when I come in
I don't dance no not way
I say we bottle pop hurricane that
Chris like hey bae bae
Let the models watch we fuck
With that white like KKK
Steal your bitch right in your face and
Then like Mike I fade away
So tell them lames stay out my way
Before I fuck up their whole day
Mind in my business getting
Mine is my business
I get way more off of rapping
Than you making off of trapping
First I come home I was rapping
Then I signed for thirty stacks
And all this funny shit I'm hearing
Got me dying from the laughter
They hate to see me eating right
Cause they fucking pockets low
White Benz black rims shit look like a domino
Riding slow bucket low ya you
See me blingin' hard
Cleaner than a boarded house diamonds
Like a deck of cards
Searching shit like wrecking balls when we
Step up in the place
Lot of money lot of mace lot
Of chicken lot of cakes
We balling at the bar
We at the bar 'til it's out of drinks
No we ain't got no job ya
But we got that white
What you think what we do, birds not the
Murder who murder you the mac keep
Shells like a turtle do
Niggas mad cause I'm eating niggas
Mad cause I'm eating
What they make in one year
Nigga make in one weekend
Fucking with the Puertoricans
Julio, Javier, to get me mean fish
Mean fish shit that piranhas fear
Why you think my diamonds here
Getting money my career nigga pop fly
Wet that nigga like he diving gear
Let me brush my shoulders off
I'm going to shrug off any negativity because I'm doing well.
Shiny patent leather Pradas looking/ Like a bowling ball
My shoes are so clean and reflective, that they resemble the round and polished surface of a bowling ball.
Diamonds on my neck and wrist/ Haters like he showing off
I am wearing expensive jewelry, but my haters accuse me of flaunting my wealth.
Cause I be shitting on these/ Nigga all around and overall
I am succeeding and surpassing everyone around me.
Back up on my old shit bout/ To make it cold for y'all
I'm returning to my roots and am about to show everyone how it's done in my own style.
I scoop your bitch up and her friend like/ I just want fuck both of y'all
I'm able to charm two women at once and am only interested in sex from both of them.
Kilo fresh how you want it sofa soft/ Cause I get it to you fast hold/ Up let me phone a call
I have high-quality drugs and can deliver them quickly, let me make a call to arrange a deal.
Meek Milly with the dealy how you feelin/ I say I feel like a million when/ I step up in the building
I'm feeling confident, successful and powerful when I walk into a room.
My neck tell you that I'm chilling/ My wrist say that I'm ok
My jewelry is a status symbol that shows off my wealth and comfort level in life.
I be stunting when I come in/ I don't dance no not way
I like to make an entrance and show off my confidence without actually dancing.
I say we bottle pop hurricane that/ Chris like hey bae bae
I'm celebrating with drinks and letting everyone know that I love having a good time.
Let the models watch we fuck/ With that white like KKK
We're having sex while using cocaine. It's a dangerous situation and we're living on the edge.
Steal your bitch right in your face and/ Then like Mike I fade away
I can take someone's girlfriend without their knowledge and disappear just like Michael Jordan after shooting a basketball.
So tell them lames stay out my way/ Before I fuck up their whole day
I warn people to stay clear of me or else they will face the negative consequences of getting in my way.
Mind in my business getting/ Mine is my business
I'm focused on myself and my own goals, and I don't waste my energy on things that don't concern me.
I get way more off of rapping/ Than you making off of trapping
I make more money through my rapping career than you do through drug dealing.
First I come home I was rapping/ Then I signed for thirty stacks
Initially, I used to rap as a hobby, but now I've signed a lucrative deal and am earning a lot of money from it.
And all this funny shit I'm hearing/ Got me dying from the laughter
I'm amused by all the rumors and gossip about me because they are so ridiculous.
They hate to see me eating right/ Cause they fucking pockets low
My haters are jealous of my success because they are financially struggling.
White Benz black rims shit look like a domino/ Riding slow bucket low ya you/ See me blingin' hard
I'm driving an expensive car that has black rims and resembles the color pattern of a domino piece.
Cleaner than a boarded house diamonds/ Like a deck of cards
My diamonds are very clean and sparkle like a deck of cards when they are shuffled.
Searching shit like wrecking balls when we/ Step up in the place
We turn the crowd upside down and thoroughly inspect each situation like a wrecking ball in a demolition site.
Lot of money lot of mace lot/ Of chicken lot of cakes
We have a large amount of money, pepper spray, chicken, and cake in our possession.
We balling at the bar/ We at the bar 'til it's out of drinks
We're having a great time drinking and spending a lot of money at the bar until it runs out of our favorite drinks.
No we ain't got no job ya/ But we got that white
We don't work a regular job, but we do sell cocaine.
What you think what we do, birds not the/ Murder who murder you the mac keep/ Shells like a turtle do
We sell cocaine and use guns to protect our drug territory. Our guns are loaded with shells like a turtle do.
Niggas mad cause I'm eating niggas/ Mad cause I'm eating
My haters are angry because I am doing very well for myself financially.
What they make in one year/ Nigga make in one weekend
I can earn as much money in one weekend as my haters make in an entire year.
Fucking with the Puertoricans/ Julio, Javier, to get me mean fish
I have connections with Puerto Ricans named Julio and Javier who give me great drugs.
Mean fish shit that piranhas fear/ Why you think my diamonds here
I'm rich and powerful because of my successful drug dealing, which is so feared that only predators like piranhas can understand it.
Getting money my career nigga pop fly/ Wet that nigga like he diving gear
Making money through my rap career is like hitting a home run. I'm so successful that I can soak someone with water like they're wearing diving gear.
