Meek talked about his time in jail, saying, "I was 18, just turned [into] an adult when I went to jail." He explained his case, "I caught a case and had 57 charges. Young guys that get caught with a gun — they're gonna automatically charge you up. All I did was walk outside with a gun."
"In jail you ain't got nothing to do but sit in there and think all day," he said. "I just [didn't] wanna die, I [didn't] wanna get shot or get life in jail because that's the usual script. I ended up going about 20-something months and realized that wasn't the place I wanted to be."
"I really put my life into rapping," he explained. "They let me out on house arrest and the judge gave me permission to go to the studio, and that taught me another lesson because every day [I was] going straight to the studio for 12 hours straight and I started putting up six songs a day for three months straight — that's what gave me my little jump start."
