Meek Mill - Meekend Music 2 Mixtape Review

What I listened with: Wireless Bluetooth Speaker

Editor Rating: 6.7/10

The Bottom Line: Meekend Music 2 is a warning shot for all rappers (especially Drake) letting them know Meek Mill will be coming with some fire soon.

The Fourth of July was celebrated with Meek Mill’s new project, Meekend Music II. The Philly rapper recently dropped the latest installment of his mixtape series, featuring four songs.

The surprise mixtape includes guest appearances from rappers YFN Lucci, Barcelini, and Eearz. The tape reportedly dropped after Meek unveiled the cover artwork on Instagram on Monday (July 3). The cover features Meek and his squad posted up in some sort of parking lot. “Tomar save me,” Meek captioned the pic, in preparation for the release date.

Meekend Music II opens with the soulful and somber "Save Me," which finds Meek Mill mulling obligations to his hustle and his family in an auto-tuned warble.

"Young Nigga Dreams" is a far more brash and boastful with a stomping beat to match, while on "Bag Talk" Meek Mill unleashes a breathless deluge over trap percussion and twinkling piano. Meanwhile, the Mike Will-produced "Organized Chaos" is a fast-paced, ominous offering that boasts an impressive turn from rising Atlanta MC Eearz and an array of clever yet devastating bars from Meek Mill like, "Freddie Kruger with the Ruger/ They'll kill you when you're talkin' peace/ Learned that shit from Martin Luther."
