Meek Mill and Lil Uzi Vert may find themselves the voice of Philly, to many hip-hops fans. They have collabed a few times in the past, including songs like Froze and F** That Check Up. It has been quite a while, but the two seem to have new music on the way. After a slew of photos and videos have been shared, we have a sneak peak of a music video from Meek and Uzi.

Being from Philly, both artists have a well known passion for bikes and doing crazy tricks. A video from Meek Mill’s Instagram shows Meek and Uzi riding on the same 4 Wheeler…on just the back to wheels. This video is insane because Meek is clearly standing up while driving, and Uzi literally keeps climbing all over the place like an animal. I do not know how Meek did not yell at him or how no one fell off, but they seemed to be having an amazing time, as Meek looks back at the camera grinning from ear to ear.

Aside from the bike ride videos, Meek also shared a photo dump of shots from the scene. There are dozens of crew members on the scene with a handful of different types of bikes. The second post shows Meek with some equipment, suggesting there was some filming going on. Meek is dressed in shiny silver Louis Vuitton sneakers, green Louis Vuitton monogrammed pants, and a long, orange trench.

In the music video snippet, Meek and Uzi are in the middle of the street, with their crew behind them on bikes, covering the road from side to side. Meek wears his orange and green suit, while Uzi wears a matching baseball jersey and basketball shorts, along with a red baseball cap. Meek shares an ongoing rhyme scheme about breaking rules, which is perfect giving his history with riding bikes in the street. Hopefully they had a permit for this one. Uzi is pretty much going ballistic in his verse, and dancing for the video. His best quotable so far: “Big a** Richard on my wrist, like a time bomb.”

The energy is certainly high here. Uzi himself has a lot of different styles and flows, and I can tell old Uzi from Philly is really shining through on this one. People are also definitely waiting on Meek to drop some heat, so I think this one right here could be it.
