Meek Mill reminds us the music biz is still cutthroat

Just to be clear, Meek is talking about how much he made from the music side of things - not his side ventures and other opportunities. But facts are facts and it’s clear he’s big mad about the music industry still having a chokehold on how much an artist can make from the empire.

#askmeek I made 11 million dollars in 10 years from music ‘just music payments’ I was shocked mad and didn’t wanna really rap for any label … . Now I got a real point to prove to show you can survive without getting rapped!

One day I asked how much ‘going bad’ made just that song… . They said 24m I was like how much did I make? All I got was uhhhhhh lol im@like wtf I know all the financials to my other businesses lol I signed out lost all trust for that whole system!

Don’t give me a plaque give me the financial paper of how much the song I recorded for 20k made 20 million … not a award … I’m from the trenches I don’t want that shit I want a estate … I want my whole family tree to beat the ghetto!

Wale's Dropped His Star-Studded 'Folarin II' Album + It's Fuego

Remember when Wale seemed to be uninspired and not down to drop new music? Us either - the Maybach Music Group member comes through after mounted anticipation with his new Folarin II studio album.

Remember when Wale seemed to be uninspired and not down to drop new music? Us either - the Maybach Music Group member comes through after mounted anticipation with his new Folarin II studio album.

Wale’s Dropped His Star-Studded ‘Folarin II’ Album

The must-hear new album comes just weeks after Wale teamed up with North Carolina’s finest J. Cole for their “Poke It Out” anthem and is stacked with collaborations.

Grammy-nominated rap star, actor and advocate Wale releases his long-awaited album Folarin II, a versatile, yet cohesive constellation of braggadocious bars, soul-baring romantic confessionals, and moving social commentary. Full of dynamic lyricism, stylish production, and studded with features from J. Cole, Chris Brown, Rick Ross, and more, Folarin II fortifies Wale’s status as one of the defining artists of his generation.

Throwback Sounds In Modern Day

One of the standout features of the new project is Wale’s knack for creating new tunes with odes to throwback classics. On multiple songs, the 80’s baby goes the vintage route taking classic 90’s and 00’s song sounds with a modern day twist.

For his latest Warner Records album, Wale flips between sounds and moods, dipping into flirty wordplay and mid-2000s R&B samples one moment (“Poke It Out” with J. Cole and “Angles” with Chris Brown) and triumphant, yet reflective tracks the next (“Tiffany Nike” and “Light Years” with Rick Ross). On “Poke It Out,” he cruises over a sample of Q-Tip’s “Vivrant Thing” for a playful single, trading slick bars with Cole. Wale’s album-length balancing act is a testament to his skills as a writer and to his well-honed taste as a curator, qualities that helped him elevate to his place as one of rap’s premier tastemakers. It’s a position he’s maintained since bursting onto the scene over a decade ago and it’s one he’s steadily reminded fans of over the last few years.

A Couple Standout Anthems

Over the past few months, Wale’s remained committed to dropping serious heat. He collaborated with both J. Cole and R&B hitmaker Chris Brown for some certified bangers.

Wale’s Been Grinding For A Minute

Over the past few years, Ralph Folarin has remained committed to grinding out new tunes. Even before the pandemic hit, the Washington, DC native kept putting out big anthems.

Last November, he shared the bittersweet “Flawed” with Gunna. And in 2019, his sixth studio album Wow… That’s Crazy spawned the #1 single “On Chill” featuring Jeremih, which received a 2020 BET Award nomination for "Best Collaboration." The Grammy-nominated artist’s list of accolades and accomplishments grows every year. He’s covered publications such as Complex, Billboard, XXL, Vibe, and Uproxx, and has received honors at the BET Awards, BET Hip-Hop Awards, Soul Train Awards, and more. To date, Wale has achieved six Platinum or multi-Platinum singles, three Gold singles, and two Gold albums. Folarin II shows that despite all the acclaim, he’s still focused on building a legacy, one that shines brighter than any plaque.

Maybach Music Group’s Meek Mill has a lot, lot, lot, lot - did we mention lot - lot of things to talk about these days with a must-hear Expensive Pain studio album out to the masses. Packed with hit songs, super fire collaborations and superb production, it’s only right the Dreamchasers boss chops it up with music industry veteran Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1 to let loose a ‘ton’ of gems.

Just how many gems? Let’s just say we’ve piled up the 13 best quotes from his New Music Daily Q&A. Meek admits he went through writer’s block during the COVID-19 pandemic, learned a grip about prison reform, picked up game from JAY-Z and a ton more. Salute to Zane Lowe and the Apple Music 1 team!

1. Meek Mill Tells Apple Music About The Album Title ‘Expensive Pain’ …

It's one of my favorite right now. I think this is probably one of my favorite albums where I express myself. I actually said expensive pain on a song with Uzi when we was in a booth rapping. I said, "You ain't rich, your stash can't pay my drug bill." Basically we smoke a lot of weed and stuff like that, and I was playing it for Brent Faiyaz one day in the studio, he heard me say that, he was like, "That bar hot." He was like, "That's a fire word, expensive pain." He was like, "That should be an album title." And I start thinking about it and then I stuck with it. And then we start coming up with our definition was of expensive pain and what I took from it, just being away from your family in the studio all night, being on tour, the things we go through in life, it could be a million different ways you could break down expensive pain, but through my album, I tell you what mines was.

2. Meek Mill Tells Apple Music What Sets ‘Expensive Pain’ Apart...

This season right here, if I could tell you the truth, I never really was smoking weed my whole life because I was on probation. When I used to be 18, I was a young kid caught up in a trap house in the basement, smoking weed, writing my raps. That's the real spirit of Meek Mill when I really took rap serious. Now I'm back in the studio smoking freely, I'm not on probation, it unlocked the real art side of me, really new flows, new melodies, being more vulnerable, more personal. I think the people going to be able to identify when they hear this album. I got a lot of energy but I'm not screaming on a lot of records. You can hear me more clear because I'm expressing myself.

3. Meek Mill Tells Apple Music About Not Forgetting His Roots…

I always try to really remain, even sometimes I always try to stay close to my hood, not hang in the hood because I can't, but just to get the feeling and the understanding of never forgetting where I come from and what the people go through, so when I deliver my music, it's still got real feel to it that people can actually feel inside instead of just dance to. You can dance to it too, but I want you to be able to feel it on the inside when you hear it.

4. Meek Mill Tells Apple Music Why He Can’t Spend Time In The Environment He Grew Up In…

I come from Philadelphia. If you ever Google it, anybody ever Google it, you just Google how many murders in Philadelphia, it's 4 or 500 murders a year. 4 or 500 murders is all black and brown kids, people my age. I'm 34 years old, but kids from 15 years old up to 45 years old die in the streets every day. So that's basically the environment. I don't really make any money in that type of environment. For me to survive in that environment, I would have to be heavily armed probably, because it's murder in the neighborhood. That's always been our upbringing. I rose above that through business, being able to make money and move away, but I still have family and friends that live in that type of environment. So it ain't a place I could really hang but I would visit and things like that. I got a grandma that live in the hood. I visit my family.

5. Meek Mill Tells Apple Music What He’s Learned About Prison Reform…

I understand poverty more, I understand the system of a lot of laws, even me, when I got free, there was a lot of dirty cops who lied on people on the stands and things like that. They had secret lists of the cops who couldn't testify in front of other cases because they already were caught lying, but those lists were secret. You know me, we hired investigators and got ahold of that, and that freed thousands of people just in itself right there, but just knowing that those type things take place was just mind blowing for me because I was always caught up in the system as a kid. And it's so many different levels that I learned. If you've been following me since the age of 18, I caught this case, I've been buzzing in my city. I started buzzing as a rapper in my city at the age of 18 but I had a big legal case. I've been in and out of jail, I couldn't make bail the first six months of my life, and when I made bail, I pursued my rap career, I got hotter in the streets. And once I got hot and my whole neighborhood started banging my music, I ended up getting locked up again because I lost my case. Before I went to prison, I dropped the mix tape, and when I went to prison the last time, my whole city, my mix tape spread like wildfire. And then I came back home again and got a deal with Rick Ross, and that's when I became Meek Mill to the world. And me being Meek Mill to the world, probably eight years down the line, I had a probation violation, and went to prison again, and came home. This is the first time I'm living without probation, but basically explaining all that, staying in and out of prison thing was my whole life coming up in the music industry.

6. Meek Mill Tells Apple Music He Does’t Feel He Gets The Credit He Deserves As An Artist…

Personally, and it's up for the fans to have a opinion, and that's what keeps me going, I don't feel like I get the credit that I deserve far as the artists. I come from the 2012 era. If you go check XXL cover, shout out to Vanessa, I'm on the cover. It's me, YG, it's Kendrick, it's Mac Miller, rest in peace, Fred Godson. But all them guys, I respect them highly, and a lot of them guys last in the game, I'm one of them guys that still here in 2021, I'm about to put on at a talented level, not a marketed level. I want to go straight to the fans.

7. Meek Mill Tells Apple Music About Drake Beef, Why 2019 Was His Slowest Year, and What’s Different in 2021…

2019, I think my slowest year, me and Drake was beefing. I was at a disadvantage. He was winning, in the eyes of the people. I still walked my way through that, went through prison, I had to go through something. Once I bounced back out, ‘Championships’. We had a pandemic, two years go by, few people fading away. We in 2021, I'm going to stand on ‘Expensive Pain’, I'm going to stand on my talent, and I'm going to remain confident and hope that people pay attention to what's going on because they got a long way to go. I'm trying to keep pushing.

8. Meek Mill Tells Apple Music About Jay Z’s Influence and How He’s Broken Barriers…

I come up off The Blueprint. We come up from listening to the blueprint of real life. My stages of life growing up, we ain't really had dads growing up in the streets, so music was important to us. We were young, we ain't really know about the level of stuff Jay-Z was talking about, but when I got older, I got The Blueprint, I was rapping, I was making music. So that was the beginning of me falling in love with how Jay move and how he handle business. I couldn't really understand it, but once now I got around Jay and see how he's moving and how he handle business, this is my infrastructure that I follow. He make it better for all young black men in the business to be able to move fast and open bigger doors. Sometimes I even text him and be like, "Yo, you're making a faster lane for all of us. I want you to know that," because that's a big deal when you break barriers like the ones he break. I don't really shy away when people I'm connected to break big barriers, and I see him do that a lot.

9. Meek Mill Tells Apple Music He Collaborates With Other Artists...

The way I record, we might be in a studio right now, Ferg might walking in, and we might record a song, and that song might be the song that's on Expensive Pain. We do it the real way. Uzi Vert just left out of here probably 10 minutes ago. He just finished the song just like that. We just do it off a vibe. And sometimes with Kehlani, I actually heard the vibe of the song and sent that to her because she been killing stuff lately, and I felt her vibe for that song.

10. Meek Mill Tells Apple Music He Had 400 Songs In Consideration for ‘Expensive Pain’...

My shit was 400 songs or something like that. I changed my album probably three times in the last two weeks.

11. Meek Mill Tells Apple Music About Being a Dad…

I got a 10-year-old son and I got a one-year-old son, so it just gave me a extra eye opener, opened both of my eyes that I really got to be a man, and really be here for some people, and build a real family and situation for some people that I made. I had babies and I never grew up with a father, so I got a responsibility to raise them to be way better than I am.

12. Meek Mill Tells Apple Music About The ‘Expensive Pain’ Album Art…

Yeah, with art, culture currency, we got a clique, it's just a bunch of people that come from different worlds, people that come from the tech world, people that come from the music industry, stocks, business, Bitcoin. We got a big group of guys, we always talk about everything, and art happened to be one of the conversations during quarantine. We talked about it for hours. And even if you think I'm listening or think I'm not listening, I might still be listening, that was one of the conversations that I was listening in on. And Nina was one of the pages that I followed through the conversations, and I just start checking her art out and stuff like that, getting an understanding of what art is, because I know of art but I didn't have a full understanding of the world. Coming up with ideas, I just came up, I'm going big. I was like let's ask Nina could she do the cover for my album, and she agreed to do it, and I gave her my vision. We connected and we just made art from there on out.

13. Meek Mill Tells Apple Music How He Stays Grounded…

I talk to my family every day. We got stuff, we stay intact with our main family, like my mom, my sister, my sons, and stuff like that, my niece, my nephew. I keep close friends around me, I got a lot of business people around me that I didn't grow up with, but I try to remain with a real foundation of people that can keep me sane because in music, we travel from city to city, state to state. We get told yes by people, we celebrities. I try to ground myself. Me and my mom, and then we tell each other good night, we love each other every night, we talk, "Are you okay?" There was a point in my career where I lost that, just chasing, so I would say that's my realest part to keep me grounded right now.

Rick Ross’ Dropping Stacks On Child Support

Maybach Music Group’s Rick Ross isn’t abandoning his daddy duties even if it means shelling out a few thousand to his former flame. The hip-hop star has reportedly agreed to monthly child support payments to the mother of his youngest children.

Maybach Music Group’s Rick Ross isn’t abandoning his daddy duties even if it means shelling out a few thousand to his former flame. The hip-hop star has reportedly agreed to monthly child support payments to the mother of his youngest children.

Rick Ross’ Dropping Stacks On Child Support

According to reports, Yung Renzel will pay out $11,000 every 30 days to his former girlfriend Briana Singleton. Legal docs reveal the child support will cover their 3 children together.

The docs say RR also has to foot the bill for their children's health insurance, and he's got to help her pay for the kids' extracurricular expenses once the figure goes north of $7,560 ... with Ross on the hook for additional annual payments of up to $3k per child. Rick also agreed to cut a check to Brianna's attorney for $25,000, but he can afford it ... the docs say RR's monthly income is $585k, compared to $142 a month for his baby mama. (TMZ)

Rick Ross’ 16-Year-Old Son Is Now A Wingstop Franchise Owner

These days, the Maybach Music Group leader is spreading the wealth to his family. The hip-hop star recently flexed major family goals by saluting his 16-year-old son with a life-changing present in the form of becoming the owner of a Wingstop fast food restaurant.

Yung Renzel went to his Instagram page to deliver the massive news. Ross’ pic features his son William Roberts III looking bossed up with Wingstop grub and balloons acknowledging his Sweet 16 born day.

“Everyone wish my son @mmgbigbank HAPPY 16th BIRTHDAY !!! Today he became the owner of his 1st @wingstop franchise. Your now officially a BOSS !!! Keep Going.”

The epic reveal sparked endless co-signs from some of the biggest names in the rap game.

“Very dope” -Jim Jones

“Happy Gday Young King 👑” -T.I.

“Happy Born Day!” -Killer Mike

“Happy Birthday God Bless Young Boss” -DJ Nasty

Roberts III also hit up his Instagram page to share a slideshow of pics showing off his born day flex. Ricky Rozay made sure to slide into the comments section with a salute.

“William I’m extremely proud of you my son.”

Rick Ross Says His Next Album Is His Best

Outside of the family goals, Ross is currently working on a new studio effort. Recently, Yung Renzel said Richer Than I’ve Ever Been, the title of his next album, is the best music he’s ever made. Although there’s no confirmed release date, tracklist, or any further details about the LP, fans of the Southern crooner have everything to be excited about. It was supposed to drop at the beginning of this year, but Ross delayed the release and has used the time to make the album even better.

“Really I feel this is the best album. I make progress every day. The words I use, the positions I’m in. The things I’m able to say. Some of the stuff I’m saying on the album gon’ separate this album from others. A lot of people are going to say Rozay shouldn’t have did thaaaat. I think I should. Why not? That’s what the game needs. I’m only going to bring what the game needs.” (“The Bakari Sellers Podcast”)

Rick Ross Really Followed ‘Fake It ‘Til You Make It’ Mindset

Rick Ross really used to cap, so hopefully he’s telling the truth about his album. Regardless, the hip-hop star recently went online to reveal he followed “fake it ’til you make it” down to a T.

RR went onto Instagram to explain that when he used to rap about expensive watches and luxury items, it was all cap. He says it helped him manifest where he is now. With a net worth estimated to be $40 million, perhaps it worked.

“I remember in my songs I used to put “$100,000 watch” when my watch may have been forty at the time but I knew it would be, you feel me.”
