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 ↴
(What it do, 30?)
One false move, you a goner
We was maskin' up before Corona
Young nigga hangin' out the Bentley
While I'm swing around the corner
Paper tag this is not a loaner
This ain't for the leasers
Tom Ford loafers, you could never tie my sneakers
Put her on the block list, I'm like, "Bye Felicia"
I be on the island with a Spanish mamacita
And shorty she be wildin', it's no way that I'ma eat her
Fuck her, I don't feed her, I just fuck her, I don't need her
I'm like, "We just tryna win shit"
Glock fourth gen shit, clear clip extend shit
Don't fear shit, we been shit
Two friends kissin' on the yacht, that's like a friendship
New Benz, when we hit they block, we spinnin' they shit
We be ridin' bulletproof, 'cause we be really in shit
He was ridin' bulletproof, we shot it 'til we flipped it
Nigga, I was sturdy back when I was dirty
Started with an ounce, had twenty million by the time I'm thirty
I was in and out deep in that field where niggas die by thirty
Hangin' with the killers playin' "Bye Bye Birdie", ya' dig?
Condo in Tribeca, got my mom in Jersey
I wish death on anything that threaten me or try to hurt me
I was rich as fuck, ain't play my cell, I'm out here bright and early
Workout with the lifers doin' a thousand burpees, you dig?
Plain Jane Richie, five-hundred-eighty Benz
Shit expensive, gotta watch the way you shake my hand
I make the Richie match the Virgil, I just changed the band
They killed my daddy, I was five and I got made a man

We was maskin' up before Corona
We were wearing masks even before the COVID-19 pandemic
Young nigga hangin' out the Bentley
A young person riding in a luxurious Bentley car

I be on the island with a Spanish mamacita
I spend time on a luxurious island with a beautiful Spanish woman
And shorty she be wildin', it's no way that I'ma eat her

New Benz, when we hit they block, we spinnin' they shit
When we arrive in our new Mercedes-Benz, we're causing chaos on their block
We be ridin' bulletproof, 'cause we be really in shit
We drive cars with bulletproof protection because we're involved in dangerous activities
He was ridin' bulletproof, we shot it 'til we flipped it
We shot at a car that was bulletproof until we managed to overturn it
Nigga, I was sturdy back when I was dirty
I was tough and resilient even when I was involved in illegal activities
Started with an ounce, had twenty million by the time I'm thirty
I began with a small amount of drugs and managed to accumulate twenty million dollars before turning thirty years old
I was in and out deep in that field where niggas die by thirty
I was frequently involved in dangerous situations where people often die before reaching the age of thirty

Spending time with dangerous individuals while playing a music-themed game called 'Bye Bye Birdie'

I own a condominium in Tribeca, New York City, and my mother resides in New Jersey
I wish death on anything that threaten me or try to hurt me
I strongly desire for anything that poses a threat or tries to harm me to cease existing
I was rich as fuck, ain't play my cell, I'm out here bright and early
Despite being extremely wealthy, I don't waste time lounging in bed and am active and present early in the morning
Workout with the lifers doin' a thousand burpees, you dig?
I exercise alongside individuals serving life sentences, performing a thousand burpees as a physical challenge
Plain Jane Richie, five-hundred-eighty Benz
Having a simple but valuable Rolex watch and a Mercedes-Benz worth five hundred and eighty thousand dollars
Shit expensive, gotta watch the way you shake my hand
My possessions are costly, so be careful and mindful when shaking my hand
I make the Richie match the Virgil, I just changed the band
I coordinate my Rolex watch with my Virgil Abloh-designed clothing, altering the wristband as necessary
They killed my daddy, I was five and I got made a man
When my father was murdered, I was only five years old, and that experience forced me to mature quickly
