Drai’s resident Meek Mill is partnering with Amazon for a docu-series which will take a deep look at the trials and tribulations that the rapper has gone through in his storied career. Meek first unveiled the teaser to #FreeMeek on his sold-out show at the Met in Philadelphia, which was during his hometown’s ‘Meek Mill Weekend.’ “Free Meek is an upcoming documentary series that will follow Meek and his fight for exoneration while exposing flaws in the criminal justice system,” Amazon wrote. “The series will give viewers unprecedented access to the star’s life, career, and criminal justice odyssey, while demonstrating the negative effects long tail probation is having on urban communities of color.” The six-part docu-series – executive produced by Jay-Z, Eli Holzman, Aaron Saidman, and Paul and Isaac Solotaroff – will premiere later this year. Watch the teaser below.

Based on the teaser, King James looks to have been heavily involved in the album’s process as 2 Chainz recruited the Lakers frontman to A&R the project. Fans of James have joked about ‘A&R Bron’ since he would post himself enjoying new releases before they came out, but this time 2 Chainz has actually gone through with it and felt LeBron was qualified to take on the job. Rap or Go to the League will be 2 Chainz’s followup to his 2017 record Pretty Girls Like Trap Music. Last year he released two EPs: The Play Don’t Care Who Makes It and Hot Wings Are a Girl’s Best Friend.
