Meek Mill Vows to Stop Rapping About Extreme Violence [Video]

In the wake of police killings around the country and taking inspiration from the Black Lives Matter movement, Meek Mill says that he’ll no longer “rap about extreme violence” after the release of his Dreamchasers 4 mixtape.

“AFTER DC4 I won’t continue to rap about extreme violence!!!” Meek captioned a photo on Instagram. “But I will remain to let my people know in these terrible environments to adapt and survive at any cost because US BLACK PEOPLE ARE STILL AT WAR WITH OURSELVES AND THE SYSTEM IN REAL LIFE!”
