More people are imprisoned in New York for technical parole violations than anywhere else.
In addition to the criminal justice system, Meek Mill emphasizes other social issues. The embattled rapper is passionate about making changes to outdated legal policies and discriminatory practices.
It was Saturday (June 5) when Meek published a tweet advocating the passage of a bill that would eliminate incarceration for most technical parole violations.
Legislators in New York State must pass the Less is More Act before they can leave town next week. In NYS, we need meaningful reforms now! The tweet was sent by Meek.
LessisMoreNY.org, a website dedicated to the bill, says there are about 35,000 people under active parole supervision in New York who could be incarcerated again at any time if they reoffend on a technical violation. “Not only does this result in harm to individuals and families without corresponding improvements to public safety, but it also drives up the population in state and local prisons, wasting taxpayer money.”
As a state, New York is home to the most inmates imprisoned for technical parole violations. The site lists a number of offenses, from failing to appear for a parole officer’s appointment to arriving late for curfew or testing positive for alcohol or another drug.
According to the current bill, incarceration would be limited for technical offenses if it is adopted into law. Additionally, it would enhance due process, provide speedy hearings, and provide credit for earned time under community supervision.
There are over 275 community and advocacy groups across New York as well as democratic members of congress that support the Less is More bill, which technically is titled Senate Bill S1144. Senator Brian A. Benjamin is the sponsor of the bill.
Meek is co-chair of Reform Alliance, a nonprofit that works toward creating safe communities by drastically reducing the number of people trapped in the criminal justice system. The group has had legislative success in California, Louisiana, and Michigan, so hopefully they will be able to add New York to the list soon.

Fourth World Records and Dave Chappelle partnered to release limited vinyl copies of his ‘8:46’ special.
In response to George Floyd’s murder, Dave Chappelle has teamed up with a record label to release limited edition vinyl copies of his special 8:46. Three reports indicate that Third World Records is distributing the rapper’s red, black, and green LPs.
A double album was released by Dave Chappelle, both named after the reported period of time Chauvin kneeled against George Floyd’s neck. Watching Side A takes about 30 minutes. In the B-Side, Amir Sulaiman reads both “My Insides Out” and “We Must Win.”
The vinyl features images from the show and George Floyd’s protests, as well as a moment of silence honoring him and other victims of police brutality and systemic racism. The book will be sold in limited quantities of 846 copies.
In addition to being available on Third Man’s website and in their Nashville and Detroit stores, Dave Chappelle’s limited edition 8:46 vinyl is currently available online. Orders for the black version of the album – due out on Oct. 29 – are now being taken.
Dave Chappelle’s high school in Washington, D.C., Duke Ellington School of the Arts, will receive the sales proceeds.
It was in Chappelle’s 8:46 special, in response to George Floyd’s tragic passing, that he grappled with the loss of another Black man, as well as the recurring incidents of police aggression. According to the press release, YouTube’s most popular video in 2014 was this one entitled 2020, which has garnered more than 30 million views, as well as 7.5 million views on the comic’s Instagram account.

Fans of Memphis rapper Yo Gotti can rejoice – his Collective Music Group label has teamed up with Interscope Records. CMG has plenty more hits to arrive by the end of the year, beginning with some heat from CMG’s CEO, as well as drops from EST Gee, 42 Dugg, and chart-topper Moneybagg Yo.
Yo Gotti and DaBaby are the perfect rap duo
Today Yo Gotti released a new single called “Drop”. DaBaby contributes a verse and beatsmith J provides the beat. It is a perfect film for post-quarantine strip clubs due to its production and subject matter:
He think we family, we not (We friends)
I be burnin’ up the top (Ugh)
I call her sis, she want the dick
We went half on a spot
We fuck on her friends together (Together)
She my homegirl, whatever (Whatever)
She got a nigga, she in love
But I be fuckin’ on her better (Uh)
Yeah, I’m her friend, friend (I am)
I wanna fuck her again, again
Introduce me as her brother friend
That’s big cap, we pretend, ‘tend
This hoes got so much game, you niggas be lame
Get out your feelings, you should be ashamed
Lil’ bitch from the hood
I took her to Wafi and got her a chain
Call her my twin, she with the gang
I am (I am), that nigga (That nigga)
Big old strap but the check bigger
Truck four wheels worth six figures
Beverly Hills residence, eight figures
Knew who I am, that’s two hundred (Two hundred)
Just touched a mill’, I been done it (Been done it)
Yo Gotti’s latest albums are receiving critical acclaim
He released the critically acclaimed I Am, The Art of Hustle, and I Still Am albums before Untrapped, his tenth studio album, and his fourth and final EP with Epic Records. This album has a wide range of features in addition to Ty Dolla $ign, Lil Baby, Lil Uzi Vert, Megan Thee Stallion, Rick Ross and others.
The debut of Yo Gotti’s music on the Billboard 200 chart was ranked in the top ten for the fourth straight week. One of his singles was Recession Proof, another was Stay Ur Distance, and another was Wish List. He also teamed up back-to-back with Jeezy on one track.
A year ago, King Von released his brand new project called Welcome To O’Block, which features 16 tracks and demonstrates assists from Polo G, Lil Durk, Prince Dre, Dreezy, Moneybagg Yo, and Fivio Foreign. This project was particularly successful for the Chicago emcee, as it ended up at the 5th position on the Billboard 200. Unfortunately, Von couldn’t be around for celebrating the latest achievement, as he was killed in Atlanta just one week following the release of Welcome ToO’Block, which ended his career when he was just starting off.
Until now, Welcome To O’Block released videos for “Why He Told,” “All These Niggas,” “How It Go,” “I Am What I Am,” “Gleesh Place,” “The Code,” “Wayne’s Story,” and “Armed & Dangerous.” Now, it is possible for fans to check out the video for “Mine Too,” produced by JishBeatz, Pooh Beatz, Turn Me Up Josh, and Hitmaka. In this video, the rapper can be seen talking about his upbringing, legal issues, and beefs with other artists.
The video was shot by Jerry Production, and showcases King Von with his crew outside a massive residence along with several high end cars. The high energy that he is popular for can be seen throughout the video, while a pretty woman can be seen on a nearby staircase. Needless to say, the video is very bittersweet.
