Robert Rihmeek Williams (born May 6, 1987),[2] known professionally as Meek Mill, is an American rapper, songwriter, and activist.[3] Raised in Philadelphia, he embarked on his music career as a battle rapper, and later formed a short-lived rap group, The Bloodhoundz. In 2008, Atlanta-based rapper T.I. signed Meek Mill to his first record deal. In February 2011, after leaving Grand Hustle Records, Mill signed with Miami-based rapper Rick Ross’s Maybach Music Group (MMG). Mill’s debut album, Dreams and Nightmares, was released in 2012 under MMG and Warner Bros. Records. The album, preceded by the lead single “Amen” (featuring Drake), debuted at number two on the U.S. Billboard 200.
In October 2012, Mill announced the launch of his own label imprint, Dream Chasers Records, named after his mixtape series. Meek Mill often collaborates with fellow MMG label-mates; he is also known for his appearances on MMG’s Self Made compilation series, with his first two singles, “Tupac Back” and “Ima Boss”, being included on volume one. He released his second album, Dreams Worth More Than Money, in 2015 and his third album, Wins & Losses, in 2016. His fourth studio album, Championships, was released in November 2018 and debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. Its lead single, “Going Bad” (featuring Drake), peaked at number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100.
In November 2017, he was sentenced to two to four years in prison for violating parole and served five months at the State Correctional Institution – Chester in Chester, Pennsylvania, before being released while his trial continues. In August 2019, a documentary series about his battle with the criminal justice system, Free Meek, was released on Amazon’s Prime Video. Mill served as executive producer on the series.[4]
What was he on parole for?
I appreciate your thorough reporting, but one word “RAPPER”, would have told us all we need to know.
Any close and personal friend of (well known sleaze bucket-Lady Rapper) Nicki Minaj is not someone I want to give a lot of thought about.
Rap ... for those who can neither sing nor play an instrument. From what I’ve seen it’s more or less just chanting in a monotone while lurching around on stage.
So the quality of the “music” - if one can call it that - is matching the quality of their politics, it seems.
I really do not give a shi-—er-—Obama, about anything to do with the National Felon’s league in any case.
