Last night, after multiple false starts and premature announcements, Meek Mill's long-awaited mixtape, DC4, dropped. The fourth installment in his Dreamchasers series is the first full-length project he's released since his sophomore album, Dreams Worth More Than Money, dropped last year.

The arrival of DC4 comes with much intrigue and suspense surrounding it, given the ongoing cold war between Meek and Drake, in addition to more recent bad blood with The Game and fellow Philly native, Beanie Sigel. Not to mention the fact that Meek has been all but musically silent since releasing the second installment of his 4/4 series in January, so new work from one of the more talented rappers currently approaching their prime is never a bad thing.

Although the Philly native is undoubtedly the headliner of the show on this tape, he also made sure to add even more star power in the form of his industry friends and allies. Featuring guest appearances from wifey Nicky Minaj, Young Thug, Quavo, Lil Uzi Vert, Tory Lanez, Pusha T, deceased former protege Lil Snupe and more, DC4 is looking like one of the more eventful rap releases of 2016. If you were one of the naysayers to count out the current King of Philly, Meek's performance on DC4 may force you to retract those statements or slander, as it's one of the finer efforts of the young rapper's career. After giving each track a focused listen, XXL highlights 20 of the hottest lyrics that will get some heavy replay value.
