Meek Mill is bringing 'Dream Chasers Nights' to South Philly
The North Philly rapper and friends will perform at the Xfinity Mobile Arena in November.
Meek Mill is playing a hometown show in South Philly.
The Dreams and Nightmares rapper last performed in the city in a late-night appearance with The Roots for “One Philly: Unity Concert for America.” He is now bringing a Meek Mill & Friends show to town during Thanksgiving week.
“Dream Chasers Nights” is an extension of the rapper’s Dream Chasers brand, sharing a name with both his record label and the Dream Chasers Sports and Entertainment Summit for young entrepreneurs that he hosted at the Liacouras Center in September.
The concert, announced Monday, will take place Nov. 24 at Xfinity Mobile Arena in South Philly and will mark the rapper’s third area showcase this year, including a date at Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City in June.
This summer, the North Philly rapper, born Robert Rihmeek Williams, released “Nightmares to Dreams,” flipping the script on his signature song. The new song was released with a music video featuring an unlikely guest star: Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, with whom. Mill has worked on prison reform issues through his organization Reform Alliance.
“‘Nightmares to Dreams’ is about coming from North Philly, surviving everything that came with that, chasing a dream, and then using what I built to create opportunities and make change for other people,” the rapper said about the song in a written statement to The Inquirer.
This past weekend, the rapper followed that up with another new single, “Wanna Be Free,” a hard-hitting track that teams him with G Herbo. There’s no word yet on whether that Chicago rapper with be joining Meek as one of his friends at the arena in South Philly in November. Special guests have yet to be announced.
Tickets for “Dream Chasers Nights” will be available via an artist presale that begins 9 a.m. on Oct. 20, ahead of a general on-sale date of 10 a.m., Friday, Oct. 23, on Ticketmaster.com.
