History

On October 26, 2012, Meek Mill announced the launch of his own record label imprint, Dream Chasers Records, with the flagship artists Louie V. Gutta, Lee Mazin and Goldie. In April 2013, he also signed 17-year-old Louisiana rapper Lil Snupe moments after hearing his demo. The label has since released mixtapes by Louie V. Gutta and Lil Snupe.
On June 20, 2013, Lil Snupe was murdered at an apartment building in Winnfield, Louisiana, by two gunshots to the chest. A warrant was issued for 36-year-old Tony Holden in connection with the shooting. Holden was on the run from police for four days before turning himself in to authorities.
In late 2014, Mill signed his cousin and rapper Omelly to the imprint. On May 29, 2016, Mill signed producer Nikolas Papamitrou to the label. Producer Dougie On The Beat was signed to the label in 2018. On March 20, 2019, Mill signed Chicago rapper Calboy to the imprint. On December 12, 2019, Meek Mill signed Austin rapper Baby Cartier Eye to the imprint.
On July 24, 2019, Meek Mill announced the official launch of Dream Chasers Records as a joint venture with Roc Nation. Mill spoke on the deal saying "Creating a record label has always been the next step in my journey as a businessman and I appreciate Roc Nation and Jay-Z’s support on this new venture. I want to take my experiences in the music industry, use them to find young, hungry talent and open doors for the next generation of artists." The label will also handle its own operations, creative strategy, marketing and business affairs. Jay-Z spoke on the joint venture saying "Everything he has done leading up to this point shows he is ready to the next generation. We look at the big picture — this is way beyond signing artists and having hot records." As president of the label, Mill will oversee a team in a corporate New York office and also help operate a recording studio for the label’s artists.
