Meek Mill and Rick Ross Cover the New Issue of XXL

Meek Mill and Rick Ross are on the cover of the Spring 2015 issue of XXL Magazine, on stands now. With his highly anticipated sophomore album, Dreams Worth More Than Money, on the way and a much-publicized new relationship with Nicki Minaj filling up the tabloids, Meek is one of the hottest rappers in the game right now, and his label Bawse Rick Ross has plenty more in store. In the issue, Meek confirms and discusses his relationship with Nicki and speaks on the jail bid that pushed the album back, his status as Philly’s great hip-hop hope and the details on DWMTM. Rozay breaks down his new health kick which has resulted in some serious weight loss, goes in deeper about his highlight-filled 2014 and explains why 2015 will be the biggest year for the Maybach Music Empire yet.

The new issue is also packed full of features and interviews with some of the best and brightest in the game. We spoke to Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch about his love of hip-hop, spent three days traveling through the American South with Boosie Badazz one year after his release from prison, mobbed around New York with Rae Sremmurd and went to Strange Music’s Kansas City headquarters, where Murs interviewed Tech N9ne. We also sat down with Action Bronson to talk in-depth about his debut album Mr. Wonderful and went in with Raekwon about his status as an OG with more than 20 years in the game under his belt.
