Philadelphia's Meek Mill has achieved an elusive balance of street credibility and mainstream appeal in his ascent to rap stardom. Buoyed by the churchy feel and gritty reality of the lead single “Amen,” last year's debut album Dreams and Nightmares reached number two on the pop charts. The rapper has a way with wordplay as well as storytelling, so much so that he plans to release a novel soon. Miami's Ace Hood, who is known for crafting hustler anthems and is currently garnering heavy club and radio rotation with his Future-assisted song “Bugatti,” will be Mill's support act on a run of shows appropriately called the Dreams Come True tour. It hits S.F. this week.
