I had the chance to chop it up with Meek Mill backstage after his recent performance at Showbox Market and here’s the video we put together.  Meek discussed how he takes the energy from his studio records to the stage, the inspiration behind his hit single “House Party,” his “Dreamchasers 2” mixtape breaking download records, his official upcoming major label debut album, his favorite Philadelphia MC’s, and more.

Big shout to Meek, his MMG family, WMG, Detooz Films, and Le Fresh Perspective for helping coordinate.

Meek and Drizzy team up for the visuals to the current single off Dreamchasers 2, which is rumored to have been downloaded over 6 million times.  Who knows if that number is close to accurate, but any way you slice it, Meek is winning right now.  He’ll be in Seattle on Wednesday and word is, he’ll be dropping by the studio for an interview.  MMG don’t stop.

Maybach Music Group’s Stalley stopped by Sound Session while in Seattle on tour on 6/10/12. We chopped it up about various topics, including his “Savage Journey To The American Dream” mixtape, linking up and receiving advice from Rick Ross, how he plays the “every man” role in the MMG crew, his upcoming major label debut album, and more.

Big shout to Stalley and Dan for coming through the studio, plus Detooz Films for filming and editing the footage.

Now…say it with me:  M-m-m-m-m-maaaaaaybach music!
