He was briefly signed to T.I.'s label Grand Hustle Records and in February 2011 signed to Rick Ross' Maybach Music Group. He adopted the rap name βMeek Millβ after family and friends from his neighborhood kept referencing him by his middle name. Meek is coined as the latest rap phenomenon to come out of the city of Philadelphia.
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.

From The Bottom
Meek Mill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Young niggas gettin' money
And we don't owe you niggas shit
I'm from Philly nigga
We come from the bottom come from nothin'
And niggas got the nerve to
Ask me why I'm stuntin'? Huh?
I'da sip Ciroc with Diddy
Drunk Spade with Hov
In the VIP of the 40, with some bad-ass hoes
Had my grip on my forty
Still was at that stove
The same night work got cooked half that sold
A pyrex and a triple beam
Like Mr king had a dream
We ain't miss a fiend
Talking dirty to these niggas
With my Listerine
If I was there you know we ball, Mr clean
I'm talking LIV Sunday blowing hella racks
Just getting right cause in my life
I been from hell and back
I'm just that nice and I don't write
So you can tell 'em that
I'm just making up for nights
When I was selling crack
On the corner in the cold
Tryna sling them O's
And half my niggas in the
City went against the code them niggas told
Still partying them niggas bold
But I'm like fuck it I'm young
And getting it them niggas old
Take a walk up to that
Mirror boy look at yourself
You see a getta or a
Nigga just lookin' for help
And every night I'm in
The studio killing myself
A lot of niggas hate me
Now cause I'm feeling myself
Fuck em' though
They screaming be humble, boy be humble
But ain't nobody say that when
My stomach used to rumble
Looked in a cell when I
Seen my dreams crumble
Now I'm out here buzzing you
Can here the bee's bumble
Seen some things that can't be told
I was told these roads was pure as gold
I never told I never sold my soul
I just went at every thing I dove
Nobody's going back to da bottom
Nobody's going to da bottom
I can't be every nigga role model
I can't go back to the bottom
Niggas getting high
Just to take the pain away
When I'm just getting by couple
Million for a rainy day
Off season but I practice like
I got a game today
And everybody ain't gon' make it out
It's a shame to say
Feeling like Mike before the fade away
I'm like should I take the shot?
Or let it fade away?
And all this love I'm getting ain't
Gon' take the hate away
But these haters motivate me in a crazy way
Ain't no I in team - from what I done seen
It's every man for himself well
Until I intervene i put my niggas on paper
We swarm paper like lions
When they smell blood
When dream shatters they sell
Love like cocaine
Or heroin from heroin I'm Cobain
I'm blowing up I did my own thing
They want my soul and my
Body for a little change
I'm dancing with the Illuminati
Call it Soul Train nigga
Seen some things that can't be told
I was told these roads was pure as gold
I never told I never sold my soul
I just went at everything I dove
Nobody's going back to da bottom
Nobody's going to da bottom
I can't be every nigga role model
I can't go back to the bottom
Last night I forgot to pray for
Shit that I got today
The devil 'round the corner and
The reaper a block away
It's body after body very few
Of us find a way
You gotta watch for the hook
Like you sticking Dr j
My defensive is like three fences
And a brick wall
I get soft every time we go against ya'll
I'm on guard play the point
Like I'm Chris Paul
You get crossed like AI did
Mike for this ball
For this rock, you get shot, picked off
Cause in this game we shooting
Metal like it's pin ball
I put this Mac to your face like lip gloss
And do you right and put
You on ice like Lindros nigga
Nobody's going back to da bottom
Nobody's going to da bottom
I can't be every nigga role model
I can't go back to the bottom
I started with a dollar and a dream
And I'm willing to go and
Get it by any means
I can't be every nigga role model
Why nobody my role model
I got my own son to raise
And my life is very precious
And my son expect me to walk
Through that door every night
So any nigga try and stop
My shine gotta get it
All my niggas out to get it
And we ain't never going back to the bottom
None of my niggas i hear everybody talking
He spending too much money be humble
Man fuck all that who was talking when I was
Dead broke starving huh?
Ay Gutta, what these niggas talking huh?
It's DC double M, G
We been jumped out the barrel
On your crab ass niggas you heard me?
Meek Milly, real nigga for life!
And we don't owe you niggas shit
I'm from Philly nigga
We come from the bottom come from nothin'
And niggas got the nerve to
Ask me why I'm stuntin'? Huh?
