Years in the past, earlier than linking up with Rich Ross’ Maybach Music and turning into a star, Meek Mill made his identify as a Philly rap-battle monster and mixtape murderer. Starting in 2008, Meek launched 4 mixtapes in his Flamers collection. Those have been the old-school mixtapes — those the place rappers hijacked one another’s beats and tried to outdo one another, those that you might truly purchase on road corners in slimline CD instances. Yesterday, Meek revived that outdated Flamers collection with the discharge of his brand-new Flamerz 5 tape.
On Flamerz 5, Meek Mill is as soon as once more rapping over different folks’s beats. This time round, Meek is utilizing the beats from current hits: GloRilla and Cardi B’s “Tomorrow 2,” Quavo and Takeoff’s “Big Stunna,” DJ Khaled’s “God Did,” Kodak Black’s “Super Gremlin,” Ice Spice’s “Munch (Feelin’ U).” Meek additionally grabs the beat from Lil Wayne’s mixtape traditional “Cannon” and, on the intro, from Survivor’s “Eye Of The Tiger.” (That one appears particularly acceptable, since Meek is among the few different artists who’s soundtracked a coaching montage from a Rocky sequel.)
Since Flamerz 5 makes use of all these different beats, it’s not out there on the same old streaming companies. Instead, Meek needed to go together with the Audiomacks and DatPiffs of the world. That’s cool. More importantly, although, Meek sounds rejuvenated, bringing among the frantic urgency that he had in his mixtape days. Stream Flamerz 5 beneath.
