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]
Meek Mill posted 6 videos on his Instagram previewing music for his mixtape, DC4. The mixtape was planned to have featured a remix of his enemy, Drake's song, "Back to Back", and a remix to Drake and Future's song, "I'm the Plug", but unfortunately, due to DC4 being released commercially, neither of these two remixes made the final cut.[citation needed] On January 16, 2016, Meek Mill dropped songs on his extended play, 4/4, with 4 tracks. On January 30, 2016, Meek Mill released another extended play title 4/4, Pt. 2.
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]
Reports alleged that there was an FBI investigation into the conduct of Brinkley, the judge presiding over his case. This was later publicly acknowledged by Mill's defense team.[81] Mill's attorney, Joe Tacopina, made several allegations of inappropriate statements and actions by Brinkley, including that "she requested he re-record a Boyz II Men song and shout her out, and how she wanted him to leave [the management of] Roc Nation to sign with a friend of hers", referring to Mill's former partner, Charlie Mack of 215 Aphillyated,[82] and that "she showed up at his community service" when a typical judge would not, among several other irregularities.[83]

Russian-German producer Zedd was the final act to grace the Liberty Stage on Saturday night, and he made sure to play an assortment of hits to get the crowd amped up before Post Malone closed out the night.
I continued roaming around without a real direction. I watched a man walking briskly turn and tap his girlfriend on the shoulder and point toward the dangling, dripping string lights that changed colors. In the inebriated hustle and bustle, this guy took a second to quietly share this little sensory experience with his significant other, as they made their way to the some unknown destination.
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.

Sunday was overcast but dry with the mud memories of Saturday still tracked across every inch of the festival. More Tough Mudder than Music Festival, the ground made for some treacherous travel from one stage to the next.
All these fireworks and sensory assaults made way for Jay-Z, who had almost none of that. The festival curator and main attraction performed beneath a giant Balloon Dog created by artist Jeff Koons, but left any effects and spectacle to speak through his own words.
Kraft also spoke on how visiting Mill in prison made a profound impact on him. Mill was sentenced in 2017 to spend up to four years in state prison in Pennsylvania for a probation violation, although he was released the following year.

If such principles had guided Philadelphia and Pennsylvania when Meek Mill was sentenced and supervised, he would likely not be behind bars today. By shrinking probation and parole, limiting supervision to only more serious cases, and providing more meaningful support and fewer barriers to success, jurisdictions can scale back the fiscal and social costs of mass punishment and improve the lives of millions of Americans.
