UPDATE: And so it begins. Just yesterday, a video surfaced of Meek on the Pink Print Tour taking shots at a fellow Philly rapper Ar-Ab and as expected, Ab followed up but not on Twitter or just talking in a video, he brought some bars to the table. Ab goes in over Drake’s ‘Back To Back’ and he definitely takes some very personal shots at Meek. It looks like the attention–for now at least– has swayed from Meek v. Drake to Meek V. Ar-Ab. Check the post to hear the freestyle!
