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.

Meek Mill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are you mad cause you hating
Cause you staying on them days
I ain't waiting for debating
I'm just getting to that money
I'm just getting to that mula
Everywhere you see me at I keep a shooter on
Mr fuckingniggasbitches back
Caddy like Reynolds Wrap
'Bout to put some duces on
It like I'm playing
And I could hit the mall and
Tell them give me that
Give me those, Pradas on my tippie toes
Different color hippie clothes
Gucci by the catalog want I'mma grab it off
Even let my bitch stunt gucci hat sandles on
Even got the bag for that
Switch the flow matter fact
Hold up when I roll up
Got them haters like you know what
He ain't stunting he just fronting
I'm like man that ain't 'bout nothing
Got that Flamers on the way 3
Movie deal coming I'm about
To be a millionaire
Only still a youngin I ain't even 25 yet
And I'm a fucking bomb threat
Niggas ain't no contest
Forty-five compact, with the extender
Number on contneder
Hollow heads chop a hater down like timber
Catch me in the cranberry Camero
Racing down the boulevard
Cash stay in my pocket I
Don't do the black card
I ball chicks and bag them, I don't at all
I drop a bird in the street
And make it do a somersault
North Philly Mike Knox Meek Milly
Getting so much money that these
Haters want to kill me gucci's all cinnamon
Watch like a gentleman
Who that in my passenger seat
Oh that's my lady friend
I only do 8 or 10's, 7 when I'm on my dick
Me and Prada got her, baby girl got body
Then I send her back to the lobby
Pimping is just a hobby
I'm limping cause I'm a G
And my is so green
The stripper just can't believe
I'm throwing it in the air
Its everywhere like leaves the Rosé on me
Inside we thirty deep, too much for the VIP
My bracelet all my hands stay in her weave
Slow it down she begging me don't leave
I'm going just like the breeze
Aye Meek you know what I mean
The lyrics of Meek Mill and Mike Knox's song "Freestyle" talk about their success in the rap industry, their haters, and their luxurious lifestyle. The first lines ask why their haters are mad, whether it is because they're driven, making money, or just can't handle their success. They brag about their wealth and talk about the Gucci, Prada, and other designer brands they wear, plus the cars they ride. There are references to Meek's mixtape "Flamers 3", and his upcoming movie deal, which reinforce his status as an upcoming artist. Meek also says he is just 24, yet makes it clear that he is already on top of the game.
In the second part of the song, Mike Knox and Meek Mill take turns to rap about their girlfriends, their sex life, and their fame. There is also a reference to their Philadelphia roots, and how they rose from North Philly. One verse speaks of the joys of pimping, and how they send girls to the lobby when they're done with them. Mike Knox seems to take pride in his music, saying: "I'm limping cause I'm a G, and my is so green, The stripper just can't believe, I'm throwing it in the air, It's everywhere like leaves." Finally, they end the song with a shoutout to each other, signaling their close rapport.
