Philadelphia’s own Meek Mill has returned with a surprise 4-track EP titled Indie Pack Vol. 01, and while the project is short, it carries the intensity and hunger his fans know him for.
The release arrived with multiple music videos, giving the drop a cinematic feel that mirrors the energy of the songs.
The EP unfolds almost like a snapshot of where Meek is today—reflective, battle-tested, and still pushing forward. The lone feature comes from fellow Philly artist Fridayy, whose soulful voice elevates the emotionally charged track “4th of July.” The two link up seamlessly, with Fridayy’s melodic hook setting the stage for Meek to unload verses about freedom, pressure, and the cost of independence.
Meek continues that momentum across the rest of the tape. On “How Far We Came,” he zooms out and looks at his journey, acknowledging the weight of everything he’s overcome—from the early days grinding in Philadelphia to navigating fame and personal setbacks. It’s the kind of track that feels like it was written late at night, meant for listeners who’ve had to climb their way out of something.
With “Save Yourself,” Meek leans into themes of survival and self-preservation. The song plays like a message to anyone who’s ever had to cut ties, rebuild, or learn how to stand alone. His delivery is sharp and urgent, almost as if he’s talking directly to someone close to him—or to a younger version of himself.
The project closes with “Free Smoke,” a record that brings back classic Meek energy: rapid-fire flows, chest-pounding confidence, and a tone that suggests he still has something to prove. It’s a reminder that no matter how much his life has changed, that raw spark from his early mixtape days is still there.
Altogether, the EP feels like a quick but powerful chapter in Meek Mill’s ongoing story—one that captures his mindset, his growth, and his continued hunger to deliver music with meaning.
