End your weekend with a party tonight by heading down to Union Transfer for local hip hop star Meek Mill’s 25th Birthday Bash. Starting the festivities will be Philly’s own DJ Drama, best known for his mixtape productions which have included the Gangsta Grillz series and Dedication 2, as well as being the official DJ for rapper T.I. After Drama warms up the crowd, the birthday boy himself Meek Mill will take the stage. Since his debut on the Philly hip hop scene with the Flamerz mixtapes, Mill has been widely regarded as the city’s next great rap artist due to the gritty rhymes and impressive wordplay of his lyrics. His latest mixtape, Dream Chasers 2, is due out May 7th, so fans can look forward to hearing a lot of new tracks in addition to fan favorites at tonight’s show/party.
