The Meek Mill report

 

Todays report will be on hip-hop recording artist Meek Mill. Robert Williams better known by his stage name Meek Mill was born May 6, 1987, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Meek Mill attended Strawberry Mansion high school but that was cut short as he dropped out in the 10th grade. At the young age of 4, Meek faced a tragic lost as his father was taken from him due to street violence.

 His mother played both the mother and father role during his years of childhood. Meek Mill got his shot at fame in 2008 when he signed to T.I's Grand hustle label; however that didn’t last long due to legal troubles. In 2011, Miami rapper Rick Ross took a look at Meek and was impressed. Meek signed to the MMG label and from then on has been a wrecking crew in the rap industry. Meek has won the Rookie of the year award, Freshmen of the year award, had over 2 million downloads on his "Dream Chasers 2" mix tape, and is currently number 2 on the billboards with his debut album "Dreams and Nightmares".

 In my opinion Meek Mill has had a tremendous impact on the Rap industry and is becoming an even bigger problem. Meek Mill released his debut album last week and over the past seven days he has managed to sell 167,000 copies. Through his short 25 years on this earth Meek has faced many stumbles and obstacles but in the long run it has turned out to be motivation for him as he soars to the top.
