Fresh off parting ways with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation Management, which had overseen the Philadelphia rapper’s career since 2012, Meek Mill is gearing up to drop new music.
Meek took to Twitter on Wednesday to announce his intention to release “10 tapes independently” starting in September, with some new music arriving on Aug. 18, the anniversary of Mill’s father’s death.
“10 tapes independently starting September,” he tweeted. “New music dropping August 18 the day my dad died is when I start wylinnnnnnn again! I’m not dropping albums on Friday either!”
Meek reshared the tweet on his Instagram page, captioning the post, “Fuck it ima take the risk…a million behind every project! All sponsors connected to me or my brand tap in immediately I need y’all for this riskkkk ima take!”
The announcement arrives just a couple weeks after Meek split from Roc Nation, where he signed a management deal in 2012. He addressed the news on Twitter, explaining he’s “personally handling” his own business but is still tied to the Roc family.
“All I seen today was meek and roc part ways,” Mill wrote. “I’m personally handling my own business so I can take risk and grow. We came to that agreement together. I have a label deal with roc for my artist and I got reform super tied with them and many other investments wit jigga.”
The rapper added, “And roc nation is my family don’t mix my post aimed at Atlantic mixed up with roc or MMG. They ain’t stop nothing I’m doing we made about a 100m together des mike and Hov saved my life b4 And put a lot of energy into it I’m not behind on my favors in life wit my people I’m good.”
