Preach!

Hallelujah!

Maybach Music Group rapper Meek Mill wants everyone to go to church with him. However, his church is a little different than most. Conductor of the choir Jeremih’s smooth crooning complements the preaching of pastors Meek and Drake.

The Church of Meek invites all to be forgiven for their sins, imbibe their favorite alcoholic beverages, meet nice women, treat them cordially (cough, cough) and essentially do some all-around “balling out.” The three artists collide on this track for a surprisingly balanced attack. Though Drake usually steals the spotlight on his features, it seems hard to picture this song without Meek’s hook and Jeremih’s accompaniment.

The preaching happens over bouncy piano chords, boom-bap percussion and pipe organs blasting over the main chorus into the next verse. Drake and Meek spend the majority of their breath on braggadocio, and nobody doubts any of their statements.

The hot song comes with the arrival of Meek Mills’ newest mixtape, “Dreamchasers 2,” hosted by DJ Drama. The mixtape was offered free to the public and has the hip-hop community buzzing for Mills’ first studio album, “Dreams & Nightmares,” coming Aug. 28.
