After originally starting the mixtapes in 2017, legendary producer Knxwledge announced he’s ending his Meek Mill remix series. He spent 6 volumes remixing & adding lo-fi beats to classic Meek Mill freestyles from before the same. However, Knxwledge has now been hit with copyright strikes due to using Meek’s old vocals without permission. We’re not yet sure if Meek himself made the decision or if it was a decision from his label/team. Regardless, it’s very sad news as many fans of both the rapper and producer who fell in love with the classic series. As of right now, there are still some of these remixes available to listen to on Youtube.
After Knxwledge announced he’s ending his Meek Mill remix series in an Instagram post, he continued by explaining the purpose of creating the remixes on his Instagram Story. According to him, the main purpose was never about stealing from Meek Mill or trying to gain clout off of them. “Never thinking these would get plays I did them [because] the verses moved me I grew up on all these videos lived and went to school in Philly [with] heads from Germantown south west all around Philly,” he said at first.
He then added stating, “I always thought worst case scenario @meekmill could just use them as interludes or something. Not tryna gain fame off of any time I just wanted them to hear my pain g.”
