Meek Mill The DreamChaser!!!

Oh you sold 3 million records off your first album. Meek Mill had over 3 million downloads on a free mix tape in one week! When you hear "Meek Mill" what's first to your mind? The first to me is MMG and then his bike life in  the streets of Philly. He may be the most street artist to join this generation of Rap. He has the traits of Jadakiss, Ja Rule and D.M.X. With co-signs and features from just about every artist that has a say so.

It hasn't been all about rhymes though. As he says in the lyric of "Get Dis Money" he says..
"sixteen, we was out there on that curb first
With a quarter tryna see who get a bird first"
Meek has done the drug scene and jail as well. It is clear he is demolishing his nightmares and chasing his dreams. He is as true and loyal as they come. With  Rick Ross, Wale and Stalley he has nothing but opportunity to go to the top. Off one mix tape in 2011 he kept himself busy the entire year from shooting videos for club anthems "House Party" and "Ima Boss" not to mention "Tupac Back". While preparing his next mix tape he was on the road hitting several city venues and clubs.
One thing about Meek is that he is open to all business and has no hate for anyone in the industry. When you watch his Vlogs you can see what kind of person he is.

On his second mix tape DreamChasers 2 he had just on 3 MILLION downloads in a 48 hour stent. No one has ever done anything of that sort. With features from Big Sean, Wale, French Montana, and 2 Chainz it lived up to all hype and exceeded the expectations of any doubters.
Now that #DC2 has turned the mix tape game to another level his expectations of his album Dreams and Nightmares are through the roof. His album is set to hit the shelfs on August 28th. I'm sure it will be perceived as a classic in his road to success!!

When Meek isn't rocking the mic or flipping clubs you can catch him in Philly hanging around his same crew and in the same neighborhood. He enjoys riding his dirt bikes through the city on the streets since there isn't a desert.

Meek is currently on the Club Paradise Tour. I'm curious for the summer when it comes to Meek. He wants to drop videos for his mix tape. But will he have enough time with touring, studio and building the Dreams and Nightmares hype. One thing for sure is you will see me getting his freshmen album on August 28th!!!

Its Game Time!!!

The Game dropped the R.E.D. Album in August and it was an instant classic. It took a while for him to release that album because he continued to make great music which people got for free through his mix tapes. He says he is dropping F.I.V.E. this year. We all know that the label will not be on the same page as him. He recently just released a mix tape called California Republic which was hosted by DJ Skee. That was received by his fans as his greatest mix tape. In a personal opinion if someone told me that it was his next album and played it for me. I would have believed them. From smash hits like "Bottles and rockin J's" to "Pussy Money Weed" and "Hit the J" it is clear that Game is ready to drop his next project and that it will be huge!!

This will be his last album on Interscope. He has hinted that Birdman will ink his contract with a lot of zeros. Now that Busta Rhymes is signed to the Cash Money Label. Who happens to be one of Games first mentors in the industry. I could see Birdman using him as a perk to getting Game to sign.  Another route is the Independent route. Game has been a part of Black Wall Street for several years a label and crew that he started in the midst of all this G-Unit drama. He could build his BWS brand along with his Money Gang brand. He has a few artist like Mysonne, KidRed, LifeStyle and Compton Menace. Compton Menace has a pretty big fan base for his small amount of exposure. Mysonne is growing day by day and KidRed might be the craziest rapper to come out of the West in a long time. With the help of his friend and business partner DJ Skee who knows how large it could turn out.

Until he drops his first single off F.I.V.E. we will not have a release date. But it is rumored that the single it to be released any day and features Chris Brown and Lil Wayne.  Sounds like a combination of "Better on the other side" and "My Life". Two of the Games biggest tracks!

One thing I do know for sure is that the west coast legend has the world biting at its fingers waiting for his next project. Until then it's back to California Republic!
