Meek Mill Practices The Art Of Gangsterfied Storytelling On “Tony’s Story 2” (Listen) Posted by Danielle Harling on 10/25/12 | Filed under Meek Mill

With Meek Mill's debut album "Dreams & Nightmares" due out next week it was really only a matter of minutes before we were hit with one last leak from the project. This latest leak comes in the form of the Boi-1da-produced, narrative "Tony's Story 2." On the record, Meek tells a grim story of violence, heated rivalries and, well, more violence.

While Meek has never really struck me as one for storytelling, he does a pretty decent job on "Tony's Story 2." I could do without the weird, distant-sounding voice effect although I'm sure it was done in an attempt to tone down Meek's seemingly unavoidable yell-rapping. On the production end of the record, Boi-1da's boardwork on "Tony's Story 2" may be dope on its own, but for such a grim record it sounds just a little too happy.

"Tony's Story 2" may have leaked today, but you can expect to hear a few unreleased cuts when "Dreams & Nightmares" is released on October 30.
