Meek Mill has had no problem sharing his story on wax through his mixtapes and albums, but now the Philadelphia rapper is taking to print media.
Meek is slated to release Tony’s Story on both paperback and e-book on May 1. The release of the book comes shortly before his Dreamchasers 3 mixtape, which drops May 6.
Below is a synopsis of Tony’s Story, as well as the book’s cover (spotted at HipHopWired):
Tony and Ty had big dreams of getting rich. Although they grew up like brothers, once money and envy entered the equation, greed took over and loyalty went out the door.
After a deadly shooting, the streets of Philly were in an uproar and the lives of many people revolved around revenge. Gold digger Kee capitalized on the built-up tension; but before she could really enjoy the fruits of her labor, she was thrust into the middle of a street war with the cost being her life.
Trust was not an option and revenge was the only thing anyone had in common. Paulie wanted revenge for his cousin; LB wanted revenge for his brother. They both had blood in their eyes and murder in mind; names were called while gunners lurked in the shadows. It became bigger than the almighty dollar and no one was safe. Philly won’t be the same after you’re a witness to Tony Story.
Other Hip Hop artists to enter the print business recently include Lil Wayne, Prodigy, Common, and Pharrell.

these rappers can barely read and form a basic sentence on twitter but they wanna write books now?
who the fuck is gonna read that crap?
His 2 million followers will read “that crap”
you mean like his 2 million followers bought his album???
OH WAIT
LOL @ twitter followers
i was thinkin the same shit.. he cant even speel right on twitter whos he foolin tryin to get ppl think he actually wrote a full book lmao..not a damn person outside his camp is coppin this shit
Put himself on the cover though! hahahaha
yeah wtf is that shit? you ain’t tony meek
What’s with these illiterate celebrities writing books now? You know the whole book game is when even Snooki can put one out. I wonder who wrote the book to make it sound sense cause if Meek wrote it himself, it’d been stupid illiterate. Who’s gonna put out a book next, Waka Flocka? Gucci Mane? Lil B?
You don’t seem very literate yourself.
“the whole book game is when” is what???
“sound sense”
i hate when idiots like you try to call other people out when your just as stupid
The entire book will be set in uppercase letters so you can imagine Meek Mill shouting as he typed the story (like he does in his music lol)
Where’s your book Cassidy? Oh that’s right. You don’t even have a career anymore. Keep gettin that paper Meek.
The only one here who doesn’t have a career here is your hating ass. Cassidy accomplished bore than your stupid ass.
cassidy actually announced that he was putting out a book 2 or 3 months ago. long before meek did paid someone to write this for him.
“It’s a lot of questions that need 2 B answered! & they will B, in my Book “B.A.R.S” In stores March 30th”
dunno if it’s still comin this next week or not though
I’m kinda tired of hip-hop’s fascination with crime. Try some new subject matter.

What’s with these illiterate celebrities writing books now? You know the whole book game is fucked up when even Snooki can put one out. I wonder who wrote the book to make it sound sense cause if Meek wrote it himself, it’d been stupid illiterate. Who’s gonna put out a book next, Waka Flocka? Gucci Mane? Lil B?
^^The fuck?!
keep it up bruh. stupidity is a rare talent
LOL, who is this nigga’s editor or publisher? That cover says “Tony story” instead of “Tony’s story”. That story sound like a million other hood tales.
LOL THIS IS WHY YOU DONT HIRE YOUR BUM ASS FRIENDS WHO NEVER FINISHED SCHOOL TO WORK FOR YOU
and he’s off to ruin another form of media i’m sure he’ll do a fine job
dude don’t even have an indoor voice n he wants to write a book
lmfao you stupid!!! hahahahhahaha
He must have been influenced by HHDX niggas. You love to write novels and/or essays whenever you want to defend something.
“Cassidy accomplished bore”
I agree. Cassidy’s music is boring.
he should probably yell on every track to keep people listening
“cassidy actually announced that he was putting out a book 2 or 3 months ago. long before meek did paid someone to write this for him”
There’s zero demand for Cassidy so timber! with those book sales. At least Meek will get some curious fans checking his stuff out.
meek mills fans cant read tho
Funniest comment I’ve seen all day ^^^
^^Cosign
Damn!! You would think it was all white people leaving all of these negative ass comments. I think it will actually be an alright novel. Dude is creative with the Tony Stories in his raps, so with an editor and a publisher backing him, he will be alright.
the way you just wrote this comment. white people would think your white…get my ignorance?

“meek mills fans cant read tho”
They skim.
LMAOOOOOOO….that’s funny
idk its pretty easy imo to read picture book! but they wouldnt really understand the picture so either way theyre confused
“he should probably yell on every track to keep people listening”
Funny how his yelling bothers you yet 2pac yelled on alot of songs. So did DMX.
Compared to Meek, them niggas didn’t yell that much.
and they talk about more than riding through the city in a ghost with a rolex on his arm after making it from the bottom the top
2pac and meek should never be in the same sentence unless your asking who 2pac should never be compared to. 2pac was more than rap and more than a hiphop rapper..

Cassidy’s book isn’t even listed on Amazon. Meek’s is.
dont get it twisted.. meek aint write no novel. i bet this nigga never read a book in his life. first page of the book will say who really authored this bitch
the book is gonna be in all CAPS to reflect his yelling in the book…..
Meek Mil
Quit yelling
Books U ain’t selling
Battles U ain’t settling
U a rookie
Casss is a veteran
Step your game up
Quit lookin’ like a bitch
Theres more to a person
Than if they be rich
U’s a mark
Get blackballed on the yard
U soft as a grape
Pretending to be hard
Haha Cassidy really gassed him up
“TONY”? Jesus fucking Christ, now this is what I call creativity.

diz iz awsum! im finna lurn how 2 reed so i can by diz book
That was the epitome of lame, Art Brooks. And for the record Meek challenged Cassidy to a battle and nothing happened cause that fake hustla was too scared to put his money where his mouth was.
Cassidy did respond, you dumbass. He made Raid, the diss track against Meek.
Shut up fag breath
“meek aint write no novel”
Nobody’s saying he’s the next John Grisham.
he’s not even on dr seus level
I wonder if every word will be in all caps since he’s always yelling in his songs. Lol.
LOLLLLLL
“he’s not even on dr seus level”
Ok Mr. Novelist.
i wonder since this is a book about philly, gangsters and murder if there will be a chapter about how cassidy murked meek mills career
NOBODY MURKED HIS CAREER, IF SOMEBODY DOES, DEFINITLY IT’S NOT CASSIDY. HE FAILED TO GO PLATINUM IN THE ERA WHEN EVERY JACKASS HAD AT LEAST DOUBLE PLATINUM. HOW HE CAN MURK SOMEBODY, LOL. NOBODY GIVES A FUCK ABOUT CASSIDY RIGHT NOW, THAT’S WHY HE TOOK THE CHANCE AND RESPONDED TO MEEK. MEEK IS NOW THE KING OF PHILLY, HAS ONE OF THE BEST SELLING RAP ALBUMS OF THE PAST YEARS, BOOK AND NEW MIXTAPE COMING OUT. CASSIDY CAN’T EVEN RELEASE AN ALBUM RIGHT NOW, HIS LAST 2010 EFFORT DEBUTED ON NUMBER 145 (LOL).
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!
GOOD JOKE. NO, SERIOUSLY. KILL YOURSELF FOR ALL OF THE BULLSHIT LIES YOU SAID.
you know who else failed to go platinum in that same era you speak of when every jackass had at least double platinum? RICK ROSS! cass 1st album in 2004, ross in 2006. only 2 years between they’re debut albums.
“ONE OF THE BEST SELLING RAP ALBUMS OF THE PAST YEARS”
you couldnt be any farther from the truth with that statement
“you mean like his 2 million followers bought his album???”
His followers burned it for free. Some followers.
hes not even gonna be able to read his own book
Wale will read it to him.
“cass 1st album in 2004, ross in 2006. only 2 years between they’re debut albums”
I’d rather go gold several times, be relevant, and most importantly, still be around than go platinum, burn out and be best remembered for one stupid fucking song.
