His mother, Kathy Williams, raised Meek and his sister, Nasheema, by taking on multiple jobs, including hairdressing and working in retail.</p>

<p>As a quiet and introverted child, Meek found solace in music, influenced by his uncle, DJ Grandmaster Nell, who was active in the Philadelphia hip-hop scene. Drawing inspiration from local artists such as Chic Raw and Vodka, Meek developed a passion for rap at an early age.</p>

<h2>Rise in Hip-Hop and Formation of Dream Chasers</h2>  
<p>Meek launched his rap career by participating in local rap battles and writing verses in his notebooks. With a group of friends, he formed a rap collective known as BloodHoundz.

<p>He later founded his own record label, Dream Chasers Records, solidifying his entrepreneurial presence in the music industry. Among his most notable works are the albums <i>Dreams and Nightmares</i> and <i>Dreams Worth More Than Money</i>, both of which achieved commercial success.</p>

<h2>Stage Name and Brand Identity</h2>
