Maybach Music Group rapper Meek Mill has announced plans to finally release his long-awaited Dreams Worth More Than Money album this month.
After multiple setbacks including a jail stint, Meek revealed the LP would arrive in June at last night’s Hot 97 Summer Jam concert.
The rapper used the platform of the Hot 97 Summer Jam to reveal his sophomore set would drop sometime in June. Of course, we’ve heard it all before. Nearly a year ago, he announced the album would appear in September 2014. It never did (his run-ins with the law played a part in that). And earlier this year, he revealed it would drop in mid-April. It didn’t. (Billboard)
Over the spring, Meek talked about his publicized jail stint last summer delaying the LP.
“I ain’t drop an album since I was 25. I rap way better. I’ve experienced way more. I just came from jail. I made sure I read a whole lot, smartened up and learned more. You know, I’m just next level Meek Mill. I know everybody come here like, “I’m on my next level…”” (XXL Mag)
Meek also talked about strengthening his own signature sound for the sophomore effort.
“I sound like me, but just on another level. I ain’t come in trying to do the Drake melody or the Kendrick [Lamar] lyrics or J. Cole… Nah, I sound like Meek Mill. That energy of Meek Mill, just on another level. People say, “Is he talking about his Rollie, is he talking about b*tches?” I may be talking about my Rollie, but this time, I’m telling you how I got this sh*t and what it took me to get it. It’s just different things. Like I said, I’ve been in it for four years, came out in 2012. I was 24, maybe going on 25. It’s different now, everything’s different about me.” (XXL Mag)
A few weeks ago, the Philadelphia native addressed rumors about his upcoming Dreams Worth More Than Money album coming out prematurely.
