You're probably more familiar with Maybach Music Group signee Meek Mill than you think: His Dreamchasers series has generated some of the hottest radio joints in recent years and even resurrected an old-school rapper or two. The single "Tupac Back" catapulted Mill to high-powered fame, and he went on to create such smash hits as "House Party." Meek's verses are the ones that stand out on the Self-Made Vol. 1 compilation album with his fellow Maybach Music crew members. Recent banger "Amen," a collaboration with Drake, is the perfect lead single for his tour, which kicks off in Denver with this show at the Fillmore.
