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.
I'm Good
Meek Mill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
I lost 'em i'm taking everything -
Everything but precaution
Your bitches wanna call us and
Text us like Austin pussy make me hard
Pussy niggas make me nauseous
I've been on my feet since
The day I started walking
Put the nail in the coffin
Sell coke in a drought
Sell pussy at an auction
Bullets got a nigga running fast
Enough to race horses
Around here you sniff these lines
You don't cross 'em
Kill your ass and leave you
Behind like an orphan
I swear it happens all the time, very often
Still getting baseball money Barry Larkin
Around here we play for
Keeps, yeah, we eating, but we starving
I get me a little money
Try to spread it margarine
I'm flyer than a motherfucker
All my flights chartered
Green kush, red flag, black
Car, white lawyer, i'm good
I say I go into my
Beastmode - rapping niggas, i eat those
I tell a bitch take a deep breath
Then bend them knees like a freethrow
I don't want me no good girl
I fell in love with these freak hoes
In my bedroom I make a movie
It's starring me with that Lee Rose
Cause I ball hard like D-Rose
My stash on closet
Racks in my pocket, these racks I deposit
Got racks on my conscience, money on my mind
I got shooters on my team
They got bodies on their nine
Look at that bad bitch right there
See that body on that dime
I ain't swimming in no ho
You know I'm probably on that grind
All these niggas hating on me, me
But I ain't on that time, time
Cause I be in the back, nigga
And I ain't talking about swine
I'm talking 62 West
They say a nigga too fresh you a rat
Your homie singing y'all should do a duet
Shawty told me she loving my swag
I make that pussy too wet you niggas banned
And my hoes and I'm like
Why they'd do that? Go
Uhm, I don't have a conscience
All my friends are monsters
They visit me so constant and
Talk to me about nonsense
Like stabbing you and then watching you fight
For your life like you boxing
Bitch, deuce deuce
I smoke that OG killer Bobby Johnson
I'll olly over that bitch head
It's Hollygrove til I'm fucking dead
I did a bid for that toast
So fuck with me I'll
Treat you like butterbread
But I still go hard with no
Regard, Earth ain't shit, bitch, go to Mars
Leave a nigga dead in the gutter
I'll just beat him with
A bloody ass bowlingball
I'm fresh as hand sanitizer
Don't hate the game, just analyze it
Two xanax', i'm fantasizing about fat
Bitches' panty sizes
Take a bullet to the chest, be a man about it
Stop acting like a little bitch nigga
Most of y'all niggas is bitch niggas
I got a tiger in the basement, Big Tigger
My hair long, my dick bigger
My hair long, my dick bigger
My hair long, my dick bigger
My money longer, my weed stronger
I feed hunger
I no longer get my weed from Fee
I pull that freedom of my waist
Now watch me let freedom ring, ding
