Video After The Jump
Meek Mill lost his father at an early age. In this edition of MTV's This Is How I Made It, the Philly rapper explains how he knew as early as age 7 that he would have to be the man of the house.
At age 13 he figured out that rap would be his ticket out of the hood and started perfecting his craft. After catching a gun charge at age 18, Meek spent 20 months in jail. When he got out he was put on house arrest, but was given permission by the judge to go to the studio. He developed discipline by hitting the studio for 12 hours a day. He started cranking out 6 new songs a day.
His song "Rose Red" caught the attention of Rick Ross and led to a record deal. Meek hasn't looked back since.
