Happy Birthday Meek Mill! The “Dreams and Nightmares” rapper turns 35 years old today. Put some respect on Meek’s name, because he’s not just a rapper. The guy has an impressive list of non-rap related things he’s really good at.
Fascinating enough, Meek Mill started his music career as a battle rapper and later formed a short-lived rap group, The Bloodhoundz, before he embarked on his solo music career. In 2008, Atlanta rapper T.I. signed Meek Mill to his first record deal.
While most of us know him for his hit songs like “Trauma” and the aforementioned hit single “Dreams and Nightmares” (which no matter where you are has fans rapping bar-for-bar), we discovered Meek’s quite skilled at several random things. Meek can pop wheelies with the best of them in Philly, he’s nearly as skilled as Olympic gymnast Simone Biles and he’s even added actor to his growing resume.
