Bio:
Growing up in the tough corners of South Philadelphia, where the streets teach you survival through every corner store hustle and late-night block party, Meek Mill turned that grit into gold. Born to a single mom after losing his dad young, he started battling rhymes as a teen, sharpening his flow on the same sidewalks that shaped his unfiltered stories of struggle and triumph. Signing with Rick Ross's Maybach Music Group in 2008 kicked off the climb, but it was 2012's Dreams and Nightmares that exploded everything, with that title track's beat switch still hitting like a freight train of raw Philly energy.
Meek's bars always carry that weight, the kind that pulls from jail stints and near-misses to fuel anthems about rising above, like in "Dreams Worth More Than Money" or "Wins & Losses," where vulnerability sneaks in between the bravado. Now at 38, he's keeping the fire lit with fresh moves: just dropped a surprise four-track EP, Indie Pack (Vol. 01), full of collabs that show his evolution, plus the single "Lyrical Eazy" out last week and a full album, Too Good to Be True True, on the way. And come December 5, he's bringing it home with a one-night-only show at Xfinity Live, Meek Mill & Friends, packing the arena with that unbreakable Philly spirit. If life's got you grinding, his music's that voice saying keep pushing, one verse closer to the win.
