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, βBloodHoundz,β 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 Philadelphiaβs 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, βIn My Bag.β
In 2008, Meek debuted the highly anticipated Flamerz 2 ββHottest In Da City,β which showcased more of his lyrical abilities with the singles, βSo Fly,β βProlli,β and βHottest In Da City.β 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 hopβs 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 β βThe Previewβ in August of 2009, which featured the chart topping hits, βMake βEm Say,β βImma Da Ish,β featuring Ms. Jade and βStarting Something,β 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 β Flamerz 3, βHottest In America β Gangster Grill Edition,β hosted by DJ Drama and featuring the songs: βBaby Girl,β βHottest In America,β and βIβm Killinem.β The highly anticipated cd is set to be released on January 19, 2010. Despite his stint in jail, Meekβs 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 βEducation over Incarceration.β 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.

Meek Mill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every nigga on this jet with me, I done went to war for 'em
Or I used to trap with 'em
I got real Hollywood bitches fuckin' with a trap nigga
And we ain't fuckin' with you rat niggas
Heard they talkin' on Twitter we just at niggas
Back where the Sun never shines
They let Meek Milly back home just in time
Now they don't remember when I had to grind
She fell in love with the CoCo
She got on Chanel and Manolo
And we out Dubai at the boat show
Rollin' dice on the yacht, screamin', YOLO
It's my lituation like Loso
And my situation an off shore
And I give her head like she ocho cinco
Draggin' my mink like I'm loco
You mad at me, but she chose though
How you get mad 'bout my old ho?
2015, I do rose gold
'Cause I'm in the field just like Rose but sellin' them Os though
(What you done it with?)
Bakin' soda, I got bakin' soda
(Who you runnin' with?)
It's the Chasers and we're takin' over
(How you spend that shit?)
Whip it through the glass, nigga
Buy a hundred bottles and put 'em on my tab, nigga
I'm in love with the coco
I'm in love with the coco
I got it for the low, low
I'm in love with the coco
Ridin' through the city with a check on me
Ridin' through the hood with a TEC on me
28 Make it double, I ain't ever try to cuddle
So explain why these mothafuckas slept on me
Eight ball 'til I reach me a kilo
Made enough then I went to see Rico
Paid in full, if you actin' like Rico
I'ma tie him up, tape his ass like Maaco
Hundred round clip in the mothafuckin' TEC
Catch a hot 9, 7 when his ass wanna flex
High school, got off on a nigga with the whopper
12K for my pistol in a fuckin' dishwasher
One hit wonder, yeah that's a fact
Hit his ass 'til the police wonder where I'm at
Made so much money off this goddamn song
Still get in your ass like a goddamn thong
Coco Puffs, yeah that's for the kids
Stop tryna act like you don't know what it is
Bakin' soda ain't cut me no check
If they don't, I'ma show them mothafuckas what an arm and hammer is
Everybody know I'm in love with the coke
My ex bitch took a young nigga for a joke
If a nigga got a problem then he gon' get smoked
I'ma squeeze and I'm out like I parked too close
Bakin' soda, I got bakin' soda
Bakin' soda, I got bakin' soda
Whip it through the glass, nigga
I'm blowin' money fast, nigga
I'm in love with the coco
I'm in love with the coco
I got it for the low, low
I'm in love with the coco
I say I run my town like Puffy, bitch
Units in the duffel
They like, "Why the fuck he never got indicted?"
I guess I'm lucky, bitch
I ain't playin' 'bout this nine
I will shoot this bitch up like I'm Shyne
Dropped a foe, quarterback, Tony Romo
Duct tape triple black, that's that ocho
What if I told you bicycle with a logo
And got 'em in the air bag of the Volvo
Snow God in the kitchen, they call that boy Zeus
And if that shit weighin' up then that's that Bruce Bruce
And if them tires losin' pressure, that's that low pro
If that's the case, you gotta whip it slow mo
I got yellow boxes everywhere
Business Arm & Hammer everywhere
Dropped a 9, got a half, nigga
We gon' need some bigger bags, nigga
I'm in love with the coco
I'm in love with the coco
I got it for the low, low
I'm in love with the coco
