Philly’s own Meek Mill made a trip to Atlanta’s Velvet Room to celebrate the birthday of DJ Drama. While at the party, Meek took to the mic to preview one of his new joints, “It’s Levels To This Shit.” Dreamchasers III on the way.

In between questions, the two reminisce on some of N.O.R.E.’s older hits like “Oh No” and “N.O.R.E.” Part two after the jump. SoulCultureUK.
