North Philadelphia’s Robert Rihmeek Williams, better known as Meek Mill, is no stranger to adversity and triumph. Hailed by Rolling Stone as “one of rap’s few voices for the everyman,” He is without question one of the most electrifying hip-hop talents in recent memory. Meek Mill first garnered attention and made waves by chronicling his hard-knock life on a series of stunning mixtapes before releasing his debut album, DREAMS & NIGHTMARES, in October 2012. The project instantly catapulted him into rap superstardom, thanks to his ability to create both high-energy street anthems and soul-bearing, emotionally relatable stories of overcoming struggle and adversity. That same year, Mill announced the launch of his own label imprint, Dream Chasers, named after his mixtape series. In addition to serving as the CEO of Dream Chasers, Mill is also an advocate for criminal justice reform in the United States with a focus on creating stronger prison rehabilitation programs, improving the bail system, shortening probationary periods.
