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, โBloodHoundz,โ 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 Philadelphiaโs 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, โIn My Bag.โ
In 2008, Meek debuted the highly anticipated Flamerz 2 โโHottest In Da City,โ which showcased more of his lyrical abilities with the singles, โSo Fly,โ โProlli,โ and โHottest In Da City.โ 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 hopโs 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 โ โThe Previewโ in August of 2009, which featured the chart topping hits, โMake โEm Say,โ โImma Da Ish,โ featuring Ms. Jade and โStarting Something,โ 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 โ Flamerz 3, โHottest In America โ Gangster Grill Edition,โ hosted by DJ Drama and featuring the songs: โBaby Girl,โ โHottest In America,โ and โIโm Killinem.โ The highly anticipated cd is set to be released on January 19, 2010. Despite his stint in jail, Meekโs 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 โEducation over Incarceration.โ 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.

All I kill is beats and pussy, still ain't went on trial for it
South side, my chain glowing
If them lames going, then I ain't going
My aim good, my pistol dirty
Chopper clean them like dish detergent
Kobe Bryant, but the sicker version
Big meech, but the spitter version
Stacey dash, but a thicker version
Getting head while the engine running
Ugh!
(Meek Milly)
(Mm-maybach music)
(Aye)
I'm a wild boy, strapped down like a cowboy
I'm really in the game, you just a towel boy
I pull up in that thang all on them alloys
With so many carrots on, bugs bunny'll die for
Your bitch call me Steve-o, cause I ball like I'm d-rose
My neck be on sub-zero, and I won't save her, no hero
My wrist done cost me a maro, got your whip on my wrist
You keep my name in your mouth, but it keep your bitch on my dick

How many times you seen one fucking rapper
Kill so many mother fucking rappers with an 8?
R-r-r-r-riding with them young boys, rolling up that o-g
Rather have a hothead, then to have some cold feet
Homeboy it's a new day, all my jewels is blu-ray
On your wife like cool j, beat it up like the new dre

They try to sign a whole group, started from the group home
Moving like a boss move, mgk my dog fool
You know I'm a wild boy, cocaine cowboy

Had a show in Cleveland, law shut it down
Dropped that gangsta shit, security couldn't control the crowd
Bitches on that drink, my niggas on that loud
Niggas talking fowl? my pistol talking pow!
Yeah bitch, yeah bitch, I'm a dope boy

Everybody shut up (shut up)
Couple of them ready to do it different whenever I tell them bitches to come up (come up)
And I ain't talking for the stares, I'm talking for air (gasp) somebody light a blunt up (blunt up)

What do I need to work fo? I smack the boss at my job, boy
Fucking hoes like I'm Austin powers, giving golden showers, that's wild boy!

I'm a wild boy
The song "Wild Boy" by Meek Mill featuring Machine Gun Kelly is about the rappers' wild, rebellious lifestyles. The title itself refers to their wild behavior, as they refuse to be tamed and do what they want, taking risks and living without a care. The opening lyrics, "Cobain's back, got all these crazy white boys yelling Cobain's back," pays tribute to Kurt Cobain, who was known for his rebellious, self-destructive nature and how he defied social norms. The lyrics suggest that the rappers are the modern-day equivalent of Cobain, embodying his spirit in their own wild ways.
Meek Mill and Machine Gun Kelly start their verses by comparing themselves to other famous wild and crazy people, with Meek Mill comparing himself to Steve-O from Jackass and Machine Gun Kelly comparing himself to 2 Chainz. The lyrics then boast about their success as rappers and their extravagant lifestyles, with references to expensive jewelry, cars, and women. They also make references to drugs, guns, and violence, highlighting their tough-guy personas.
Overall, the song is a celebration of their wild, unapologetic personalities and a middle finger to the uptight, conformist culture they feel they're rebelling against. They're not afraid to be themselves, to make some noise, and to live their lives on their terms, without worrying about what others think.
