Meek Mill Will Reunite With Former Enemy Drake On His New Album
With just hours to go up until
Meek Mill delivers his new album
Championships, he's ramped up excitement by sharing the assignments star-studded tracklist.
The most notable visitor? None other than Meek's former nemesis
Drake, who features on a cut called "Going Bad." This marks Meek and Drake's first teamwork since their ugly 2015 feud, which they
squashed back in September with a surprise efficiency in Boston. Looks like that reconciliation really was legit.
Elsewhere on the
Championships roster, Jay-Z and Rick Ross team up with Meek for "What's Free," and Cardi B joins the party with "On Me." Given that Cardi and Meek share a Nicki Minaj connection — he dated her and she's feuding with her — that'll certainly be an attention-grabbing collab. Other visitors on the album include Young Thug, Future, 21 Savage, and Ella Mai, who appears on a track called "24/7" that
reportedly interpolates Beyoncé's "Me, Myself and I." Check out the entire tracklist below.
Before revealing his new tracklist on Thursday (November 29), Meek sat down with Ebro Darden at Beats 1 to detail the inspiration beyond
Championships.
"I feel like I'm at a championship stage in my life. I call it beating poverty, beating racism, beating the system, beating gun violence and beating the streets," he explained. "I don't think an album should sound like one thing. I recorded a lot of my music in New York, so my shit is East Coast-inspired. I feel like the game needs a East Coast sound."
Championships marks Meek's first full-length album since his
release from prison in April. Earlier this week, he
announced a 16-date U.S. Tour, dubbed The Motivation Tour, which kicks off in February 2019. Clearly, the Philly MC is prepared to celebrate his wins.
