Meek continues to develop the success of his Dreamchasers “Tony Story” with the sequel “Tony Story, Pt.

Regardless of point of view, Meeks knows how to phrase, and stage events in a climatic fashion. One underrated facet of Meek’ style rests in his storytelling ability. The feature power of Nas, Wale, Trey Songz and John Legend easily overshadow Big Sean and Kirko Bangz given the song’s industry sound. “Lay UP” or “Maybach Curtains” could have easily replaced “Amen,” “Burn” and “Young & Getting’ It” as radio singles. It ruins the quality of songs like “Maybach Curtains” and “Lay Up,” whose star studded casts anchor the tracks. Given that he raps to the same cadence on almost every song, any one of his verses can be substituted for another with no notable difference. He’s readily defined by monetary braggadocio statements, badd yellow chicks, drugs, and a team of shooters ready to do dirt. Meek’s subject bank is painfully limited. “So for 100 keys, think what my click will do/ I’m talkin’ clappin toaster, bullets will hit ya roof/ They hit his body he went in shock, no Pikachu.”
Once again, thematically, Meek missed the mark, but displays a vicious flow. It seems like Meek fell in love with the title and felt obligated to include it on the album. The paradoxical title of “In God We Trust” leads listeners to believe it will be structured after his “dream” theme, but he proceeds to paint more pictures of destruction. His voice is already borderline and increasing the volume is far too intense. “Dreams and Nighmares” fails after angelic piano keys transitions to a devilish bass drop, and Meek begins shouting at maximum vocal capacities. Understandably so, Meek attempted to draw stark contrast between dreams and nightmares and sufficiently succeeds. He adequately displays how a young male from the hood has dreams fulfilled by rap successes before the track takes a drastic turn for the worse. The title track “Dreams and Nightmares” summarizes everything Meek discusses on records. Brief moments of ingenuity and conceptual strengths are heavily offset by lackluster efforts and predictable cadences. Meek Mill’s Dreams and Nightmares album falls closer to a nightmare than a dream.
