Days after the deaths of 37-year-old Alton Sterling who was shot dead by police in Baton Rouge, La. and 32-year-old Philando Castile who was shot and killed by a cop at a traffic stop in Falcon Heights, Minn.; Meek Mill has vowed that Dreamchasers 4 will be his last album depicting extreme violence.
The Philly emcee made the personal vow in a recent IG post:
“Once I found out I wasn’t born to fail and just fall victim to a fake ass life that don’t offer shit but a jail,death i carry myself with extreme confidence and I know my value… even tho that’s where we came from and all most of us has ever experienced in life! Wake up! Don’t question my raps because it’s a life we lived and suffered from, I have a right to express my myself! BY THE WAY ….AFTER DC4 I won’t continue to rap about extreme violence!!! But I will remain to let my people know in these terrible environments to adapt and survive at any cost because “US BLACK PEOPLE ARE STILL AT WAR WITH OURSELVES AND THE SYSTEM IN REAL LIFE! #grammarcheck I don’t talk the “AMERICAN ENGLISH” because I don’t believe in it…I never cared about writing or speaking that way! I dont dress that way …. I’m doing me better yet doing #us.”
DC4 is slated for release later this year. He recently wrapped a 90-day house arrest after violating his probation stemming from a 2009 drug and gun case.
