Records, and also released for digital download on DatPiff. It was released on May 7, 2012, by Maybach Music Group and Warner Bros. HeвЂ™s a livewire, and we need livewires.Dreamchasers 2 is the ninth mixtape by American rapper Meek Mill (hosted by DJ Drama). And when Dreamchasers 2 is at its strongest, itвЂ™s another clear sign that Meek is an absolutely vicious and vital young voice, the sort of guy who can bring a sorely needed rapidfire determination to what remains of the rap mainstream. So: Mistakes are made, but theyвЂ™re the sort of mistakes that you can correct by selectively deleting tracks from your iTunes.

And as great as вЂњHouse PartyвЂќ was, it absolutely cannot survive a Mac Miller verse on the remix. The shrill fuck-song вЂњFace DownвЂќ is almost as bad. After the shockingly strong вЂњBurn,вЂќ Big Sean shows up again on the execrable Lisa Lisa-flipping sex jam вЂњTake U HomeвЂќ and promptly returns to his old intolerable self the Wale guest verse doesnвЂ™t help either. When he gets contemplative here, he veers toward puffily vague B.O.B.-style inspirational rap a little too far removed from the specific concrete memories of the first Dreamchasers tape. ItвЂ™s too long, and some of the second-half tracks are just awful. вЂњAmenвЂќ proves that Meek has what it takes to make the transition.Дreamchasers 2 is not, for the most part, as satisfying a listen as its predecessor. Plenty of rappers lose their charm and charisma in that moment. ItвЂ™s a small taste of what I like to call the Life After Death leap - the treacherous moment where a young rapper goes from talking about needing money to talking about having money. Like Drake, Meek sounds regal and contented in a way that he never has before. вЂњAmenвЂќ is a smooth and celebratory track, an airy revel in all the good things coming MeekвЂ™s way lately. But another highlight - the one everyone seems to be picking out - is the Drake/Jerimih collab вЂњAmen,вЂќ the one that shows a direction where Meek can push his talent if he loses his taste for making breakneck-yammer bangers. Those tracks are throwbacks to the brilliant urgency of the first Dreamchasers, and I hope Meek can keep that same sensibility strong as his star continues to rise. On the breathless вЂњBurn,вЂќ Meek and producer Jahlil Beats manage the impossible trick of making Big Sean sound good. вЂњIntroвЂќ and вЂњ FlexinвЂќ and especially the pure-gold Kendrick Lamar collab вЂњA1 EverythingвЂќ weld MeekвЂ™s all-out blackout flow to beats as sproingy and propulsive as his delivery. Early taste вЂњ Lean Wit ItвЂќ is vengefully hard and merciless corner-boy rap with the sort of purposeful tension that nobody else can pull off quite like Meek. Most of the best moments of Dreamchasers 2 recapture that same hunger.

On that tape, all of MeekвЂ™s underdog determination was on full raw display, kinetically freaking its way through elastic bangers like вЂњ House PartyвЂќ and genuinely affecting memory-lane tracks like вЂњMiddle Of Da Summer.вЂќ On that first Dreamchasers, Meek was hungry. And even though Wale ended up selling more albums than anyone had thought possible, Meek was the real breakout, his goofy-energetic nasal machine-gun flow ricocheting all over massive street-rap stompers like вЂњ Tupac BackвЂќ and вЂњ IвЂ™m A Boss.вЂќ It took me a while to come around on his first Dreamchasers tape, released toward the end of last summer, but it eventually emerged as one of my favorite of the year. Most of RossвЂ™s Maybach Music roster still consists of blog-approved rap-underdog types whoвЂ™d never done much commercially before Ross got ahold of them: Wale, Pill, Stalley.

But he came into his own when Rick Ross, in the midst of a Maybach Music signing spree, snapped him up. MeekвЂ™s been running around PhillyвЂ™s unusually active underground rap scene for years, banging up against all the furiously talented State Property and Major Figgas veterans who dominate the city. That can be a good thing and a bad thing, but in this case itвЂ™s mostly a good one.

And Dreamchasers 2, more or less, sounds like the work of a rap star. Meek, who spent years as a fired-up underdog, is now a rap star. I can only remember it happening once before, with Wiz KhalifaвЂ™s Taylor Allderdice earlier this year.

In rapвЂ™s current mixtape-based climate, crashing DatPiff is the rough equivalent of what going platinum in a week used to be. For at least an hour after Meek Mill released his Dreamchasers 2 tape on Monday, the mixtape download site DatPiff was overloaded with traffic and basically couldnвЂ™t function at all.
