MTV’s back with the fourth episode of their “This Is How I Made It” series and this time it features MMG’s Meek Mill. Take a look inside the life of Meek Mill and listen to his journey to the top as you did in his debut “Dreams & Nightmares“.
Meek Mill brings alone G.O.O.D Music signee 2 Chainz and DJ Sam Sneaker for the freak inspired track “Freak Show” off of the MC’s freshman album “Dreams and Nightmares”. Simply because we know 2 Chainz loves them strippers as well as his “big booty hoes”, we have already come to love and expect what freaky lyrics the artist might come up with when teaming up with Meek Mill. Throwing a hot feature in there by DJ Sam Sneaker, you might just have yourself another sexually geared anthem. Check out “Freak Show” after the jump…
