Over the weekend A$AP Rocky made a stop in with the “LA Leakers,” so of course he had the chance to kick a couple bars of his own. Meek Mill‘s “Young & Gettin’ It” got flipped for this freestyle, but the end result is certainly a spirited effort from the Harlem, N.Y.-bred spitta. LongLiveA$AP keeps getting pushed back, so no reason not the peep the video below in the meantime.

Meek Mill and Kirko Bangz have a party on a yacht while counting their stacks to show that they are “Young & Gettin’ It”. Counting money on a beautiful yacht is what these two do in their spare time before hitting the casino to win even more money. This is the first single off Meek Mill‘s debut album Dreams & Nightmares,which drops tomorrow. Of course like every MMG video, this one was directed by DRE Films. Are you feeling the video? Do you plan to pick up that album tomorrow?

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).
