“MEEK MILL LAUNCHES DREAM CHASERS LABEL; JOINT VENTURE WITH ROC NATION”

Meek Mill launches Dream Chasers Records, a joint venture label with #RocNation. Meek Mill will serve as the President of Dream Chasers, where he will oversee the label and build a staff that will spearhead talent acquisition and development, label operations, creative strategy, marketing and legal, among other positions.

“Creating a record label has always been the next step in my journey as a businessman and I appreciate #RocNation and JAY-Z’s support on this new venture,” Mill said. “I want to take my experiences in the music industry, use them to find young, hungry talent and open doors for the next generation of artists.”

Meek says working with Jay on a project of this caliber is something he’s always dreamed of, and his admiration for Jay is something he’s never had for any other artist, business man or entrepreneur.

“It’s like a dream to me,” Meek says. “There aren’t to many people I admire on a music level, a business level, and on a man level. So doing business with HOV I always tell him its a regular day for him but it’s a dream come true for me.”

Dream Chasers will be Meek’s label, under the umbrella of Roc Nation’s influence. Meek and Jay say the collaboration just feels right, as they have experienced a lot of the same struggles.

“We come from the same neighborhoods, went through the same things,” Jay says. “We’ve been through some of the same struggles, and like I said that responsibility is not lost on us.”

“Like he said, we come from the same ghettos of America,” Meek continues. “I always felt like I had a responsibility to lead the culture as much as I can. I always say Jay Z and others that come before me we’re like the son plow for people like myself. They made it easier for us to walk through the snow storm. I want to continue to be the snow plow for those coming after me.”
