One of the most heartfelt tracks on Meek Mill’s debut album “Dreams and Nightmares” finally gets a visual. The intro to the album delves into the journey that Meek faced to get to where he’s at now, and they were able to capture some of the essence of that in the video. The Alex Nazari directed video shows off both the dream and nightmare side in the video to really hone in on meaning of the track. Meek is currently working on the third installment of his “Dreamchasers” mixtape series which should be coming very soon. Check out the video below.

If this track sounds a bit familiar it’s because it is. The original track is featured on Meek Mill‘s Dreams & Nightmares but featuring Wale. Jay Z contributed a verse but it didn’t make it on the album so now we have the remix. The track is definitely dope. Trey supplies the sexy and smoothness for the track, while Ross and Meek represent for MMG. Plus, a verse from Jay is like a unicorn: what’s not to like?  Hear it for yourself below.

Philadelphia, PA native Meek Mill, is much more than just “The Mixtape Champ Of The Streets.” He’s one of the current saviors of hardcore street rap music. Meek gained his street buzz with his series of mixtapes including the many editions of The Real Me, Flamers and Dreamchasers. He gained his popularity, though, with appearances off his record label’s 2011 debut collaboration album, Maybach Music Group – Self Made Vol. 1. The Maybach Music Group founder Rick Ross featured album singles, “Tupac Back” and “Ima Boss”, which established Meek Mill‘s name as hip hop’s next up and coming superstar from the east coast. This puts Meek alongside Dr. Dre‘s Aftermath Records signee Kendrick Lamar from the west coast. To keep the momentum going,  Meek Mill kept the summer hot with the release of his album’s first and second singles, “Amen” and “Burn.” Now Meek returns with his third single titled, “Young & Gettin’ It”, from his debut upcoming album titled Dreams & Nightmares. The Jahlil Beatz produced track features Kirko Bangz, and is a braggadocious song about a young man that’s all about handling his business, while getting money to enjoy the finer things in life. So, the next time, you think about Philly, don’t think about “The City Of Brotherly Love”, “The Home Of Cheesesteaks” or “The Home Of Soul Legends.” Think about some of the dopest emcees (in the rap game), Beans (Beanie Sigel), Cass (Cassidy) and Meek (Meek Mill).
