Meek Mill - Amen (Ft. Drake & Jeremih)
I was cruising through Queens while I was back home in NY this weekend blasting Hot 97 and heard this new track from Meek Mill. I immediately was feeling the ‘gospel’ type vibe with the chord progression and the organs, and then I was about to break my neck when they hook dropped. AMEN!
It had 1 milli views yesterday, and jumped to 2 milli this morning, get on this!
