Released in August 2008, this mixtape is widely regarded as the foundational work in Meek Mill’s discography. It played a pivotal role in establishing him as a prominent figure in the Philadelphia rap scene, catapulting him to the status of the hottest artist in the city at the time. Presented by GT Franchise and mixed by the legendary DJ Difference, this mixtape truly encapsulated Meek’s intense and passionate delivery, which later became his signature style. It featured notable Philadelphia rappers such as Joey Jihad, Gillie Da Kid, Cassidy, and Black Deniro, with many of the tracks produced by Conway. This collaboration led to a relationship with Jahlil Beats, whom Meek met on Myspace due to Jahlil’s constant sending of beats. This mixtape became a street classic, not only gaining popularity in the East Coast but also solidifying Meek’s star power across the internet. It demonstrated his potential for stardom in the music industry, particularly evident in songs like “In My Bag,” produced by Sap!. Notably, this mixtape is not available on major streaming platforms, so we searched and found a stream on YouTube, as well as an unexpected discovery on Last.FM
