MEEK MILL MET VIRGINIA’s GOVERNOR RALPH NORTHAM TO SIGN PROBATION LAWS INTO ACTION

Meek Mill’s Reform Alliance team efforts to push for reforms in outdated probation laws paid as they travelled to Richmond Virginia to meet the State’s Governor during the signing of a reform deal on probation laws. On Thursday 10th, in Richmond Virginia, it was a new dawn for the incarcerated as the signing of the probation law will reform draconian policies of the past.

Meek THEURBANSPOTLIGHT.COM

Himself an ex-convict, he said it is a way of giving back after the help he received to get free when he was jailed some years go. According to him, the current probation laws are outdated and restrictive to a point that they aimlessly limit the normal functioning of convicted felons in the community. He indicated that convicted felons deserve a second chance to take their shot in free life.

Meek Mill attributed the better probation deal he got in 2012 to his success in reuniting with family and the community. He acknowledged to be not perfect but the probation deal helped him become productive and provide for his family while at the same time creating jobs for others.  As a result, he made an initiative to push the department of justice to reform some of the laws he found outdated. He said some convicts are in worse situations than him and helpless and that inspired him to influence change.

Governor Northam   agreed to sign, “House Bill 2038 limiting the amount of active incarceration a court can impose as a result of a revocation hearing for a probation violation.” According to the new law, any convict is expected to serve a maximum of five years’ probation term since release. In a press conference after the signing, Governor Northam explained that the justice system has a responsibility to exercise fairness in proportion to crimes committed.

Meek Mill was arrested in 2017 for violating his probation and was sentenced to a jail term of between two to four years in prison. In July 2019, his appeal bore fruits asthe Supreme Court of Pennsylvania overturned his 2008 conviction.

Could be the Launch of History in Toronto an indication of Drakes new business Focus?

Drake has launched a Live Performance Entertainment Venue in Toronto Canada named History. His move could be an indication of a shift in his business strategy to explore the Live Entertainment sector as part of his plan to expand his portfolio. The Hip hop artist has partnered with Live nation Canada in the construction of the 2,500 capacity venue to provide an alternative platform for artists to both perform and connect with their fans. Drake made an announcement on the venture on Tuesday, June 8 on Instagram where he shared his inspiration to open such a venue in his hometown.   According to him, performers need to connect with their fans during live performances something which is not possible in huge concert venues where the fans are far away from the performing artists. He said the new venue will be much smaller compared to usual high capacity  entertainment Arena’s which doesn’t provide the much needed emotional artist/ fans connection and interaction.

Drake THEURBANSPOTLIGHT.COM

From the launch he didn’t make it clear whether this was giving back to his home turf or he had concrete plans to invest and expand his Entertainment Business Empire by opening many similar venues both in the U.S and Canada. According to Economists, Live Performances seems a viable business opportunity and the Artist is likely to be testing the waters in his hometown before expanding into other Cities. If that happens, Drake could provide enormous opportunity to young and upcoming artists with a platform to perform, showcase, horn their skills and also earn from their talents without having to compete with established artists in the mainstream hip hop circles.

According to Live Nations C.E.O and President Michael Rapino, partnering with Drake has contributed in the project’s success as construction is expected to end later this year. “History” has been under construction for three years now and is expected to be complete later this summer. The Venue w
