Meek Mill Reveals New Artwork
Expensive Pain is expected to include his most recent singles, “Sharing Locations” featuring Lil Durk and Lil Baby, “Blue Notes 2”, with Lil Uzi. Both singles came paired with dynamic music videos to match the musicality of the track. All of this has been a crescendo in building excitement to an album that will be sure to quench his fanbase’s thirst.
The album cover artwork includes several nude women, dice, a yatch and Meek’s favorite pastime hobby – a motorcycle.
