Robert Rihmeek Williams (born May 6, 1987),[3] known professionally as Meek Mill, is an American rapper. Born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, he embarked on his music career as a battle rapper, and later formed a short-lived rap group, The Bloodhoundz. In 2008, he signed to Atlanta-based rapper T.I.'s Grand Hustle Records as a solo act, although he departed by 2011 and released no albums with the label. Afterward, Williams signed with Miami-based rapper Rick Ross's Maybach Music Group (MMG). Williams rose mainstream recognition following his performances on the label's Self Made compilation album, as his debut single "Tupac Back" (featuring Rick Ross) and its follow up, "Ima Boss" (featuring Rick Ross) were included on volume one (2011).
Robert Rihmeek Williams[5] was born on May 6, 1987,[3] in the South Philadelphia area of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the son of Kathy Williams. He has an older sister, Nasheema Williams. Kathy grew up in poverty and her mother died when she was young. Meek's father was killed when Meek was five years old, apparently during an attempted robbery. His uncle, Robert, described Meek Mill's father as a "black sheep of the family". After her husband's death, Kathy moved with Meek and his sister to North Philadelphia, where they lived in a three-bedroom apartment on Berks Street. Their financial condition was poor and she started cutting hair, doing other jobs, and shoplifting in order to support her family.[6] At home, Meek was shy and rarely spoke. As a kid, he became acquainted with another of his father's brothers, who under the MC name Grandmaster Nell was a pioneering disc jockey (DJ) in the late-1980s Philadelphia hip-hop scene and influenced rap artists Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff. Meek's interest in hip-hop grew as a result of these early influences. He was also influenced by the independent hip-hop artists Chic Raw and Vodka, whom he learned to emulate by watching their DVDs.[7][8]
In February 2012, MTV listed Meek Mill as the "#7 hottest MC" in their annual "Hottest MCs in the Game" list.[18] On May 7, 2012, Mill released the second installment to his Dreamchasers series.[19] Within six hours of its release on mixtape website DatPiff.com, Dreamchasers 2 was downloaded 1.5 million times.[20] On May 10, it was announced Meek Mill signed with Roc Nation management.[21]
On July 24, 2019, the Superior Court of Pennsylvania granted Mill's appeal, overturning his 2008 conviction and ordering a new trial to be overseen by another judge other than Judge Brinkley. In a statement, the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office said it was pleased that the appeals court "validated our position that Robert Rihmeek Williams deserves a new trial before a court that has no appearance of partiality." However, the D.A. declined comment on its plans for a new trial, stating the office was weighing its options before proceeding.[80]
The founding partners of Reform Alliance, besides Meek Mill and Jay-Z, includes Kraft Group CEO and New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, Philadelphia 76ers owner Michael G. Rubin, Brooklyn Nets co-owner Clara Wu Tsai, Vista Equity Partners founder Robert F. Smith, as well as other leaders in business, law and politics, whom have collectively pledged a total 50 million dollars to the foundation as of 2019.[95] To lead the organization, Reform hired political activist, and CNN host/political analyst Van Jones as their inaugural CEO.[94]
A feud started between Meek Mill and fellow Philadelphia-born rapper Cassidy, when Mill offered to battle several underground rappers including Cassidy. Cassidy would later accept the challenge, adding "if the money was right". They participated in a short social exchange, after which Cassidy released "The Diary of a Hustla", which was originally thought to be a diss track towards Mill. This was later refuted by Cassidy.[98] They both asked $100,000 each for the battle to take place.[99][100] However, after Meek Mill dissed Cassidy's song, "Condom Style" (a remake of Psy's "Gangnam Style"), Cassidy released a formal diss track towards Mill with "Me, Myself & iPhone".[101][102] Afterwards, Meek Mill responded with the diss track "Repo", which Mill later said would be the final diss record he would release against Cassidy.[103]
In a recent Instagram post, the Too Good to Be True co-rapper claimed he's "getting a million a song," but some followers call cap. Mill also laughed off the assumption that rap is dying off, which he elaborated on in separate X posts.
October 31st, 2012: Meek is arrested for suspected marijuana use but later released
Meek was promoting his first album in New York when Hurricane Sandy landed, causing the rapper to split for Philadelphia to fly to a gig in Atlanta. While en route to the airport, police pulled him over because of his window tints and claimed they smelled weed in his car. Meek says he was arrested for not allowing the police to search his car. They arrested him and impounded the car, holding him overnight. He was later released. The arrest allegedly caused him to miss out on tens of thousands of dollars he would have earned from the Atlanta gig and cost him a significant amount of money in an endorsement deal with Puma, which reduced the amount it wanted to pay him from $2 million to $650,000, according to The Inquirer.
His time has come: Just six months after he crashed several file-sharing sites with more than 3 million downloads of his free mixtape, Dreamchasers 2, Philadelphia rapper Meek Mill's long-anticipated debut album, Dreams and Nightmares, arrives Tuesday. He scored a top 10 urban hit over the summer with Amen, featuring Drake and Jeremih, and a second hit, the Kirko Bangz-assisted Young and Gettin It, is on its way up. The Maybach Music signee has also had several high-profile showcases, including performing with label boss Rick Ross and Mariah Carey on the NFL Kickoff concert in New York. He'll join Ross and the rest of the Maybach crew on a 30-date college tour that starts Nov. 2 in Columbus, Ohio.
A two-sided story: On Dreams and Nightmares, 25-year-old Meek (aka Robert Williams) talks about avoiding the pitfalls of urban streets, while also exalting the success he now enjoys. He gets plenty of help with guest appearances by Ross, Wale, Nas, John Legend, Mary J.Blige and Trey Songz. "A lot of the songs are about my life, my pain, and you can tell I've been through these things," says Meek, whose father was killed when he was 5. "You can feel it. The dream part is me living as an artist making money touring across the world, and nightmares touches on everything that it took for me to make it from the streets."
Prepped for success: His momentum carried over into this year, but even he was stunned by the overwhelming response to Dreamchasers 2, which was downloaded 1.5 million times within six hours of its release.
Just before his conviction was tossed by the appeals court in July, Meek and Jay-Z were announced as co-chairs of the criminal justice reform organization REFORM Alliance that, to date, has claimed to have raised $50 million dedicated to "changing the laws, policies and practices that perpetuate injustice," starting with probation and parole.
Mill, a Philadelphia native whose legal name is Robert Rihmeek Williams, was sentenced to two to four years in prison last November for two arrests earlier in the year that violated the terms of his probation. The decision by Judge Genece E. Brinkley was immediately criticized as heavy handed for multiple reasons.
About 3.8 million Americans were on probation in 2015, according to the latest federal data. Only slightly more than half of those got off of probation that year. A report by the Urban Institute found that black people, despite constituting just 13 percent of the U.S. population, accounted for 30 percent of adults on probation. Black people are also more likely to get their probation revoked, which can lead to prison time or other punishment.
On Monday (Nov. 21), the Philly rapper held a Q&A session with his fans on Twitter. One fan enquired about the deluxe version of his latest album Expensive Pain, leading Meek to open up about how much music artists make in the streaming era.
"Panel discussions like this one is what makes the NAACP's National Convention the most rewarding place to be this summer,"said NAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson. "I look forward to the conversation as we focus on the pressing issues of hate crimes against Black individuals and the alarming increase in antisemitism. These esteemed panelists will undoubtedly provide us with meaningful dialogue and actionable solutions to inspire change and foster a society where equality and social justice thrive."
WHY: The 114th NAACP National Convention will be held in Boston from July 26- August 1, 2023. This empowering and immersive experience is held each year to celebrate the collective power of the Black community. The Convention attracts innovative change-makers, thought-leaders, entrepreneurs, scholars, entertainers, influencers, and creatives, offering a platform to network and exchange ideas. Each year, the Convention fosters an intergenerational approach to advocacy, connecting activists, allies, and entrepreneurs from diverse backgrounds through main stage discussions, luncheons, and the experience hall. Together, they are united in their commitment to ensuring the Black community thrives together.
