Meek Mill at BET Music Matters

There were levels to this show, as A3C and BET brought the Music Matters showcase to Atlanta featuring an all-star line up and headliner Meek Mill at Terminal West on day two of the hip-hop festival.
Buttah Man, the host of BET Music Matters, introduced the talented line-up to the Terminal West stage, which included artists like Problem, Lecrae, Young Dro, Scotty ATL and of course, Meek Mill.
“This line up is hot, I think it’s a good combination of new artists, people who are on the verge and then you have somebody like Meek Mill who is on top of the game right now so we also have representation from all over the country so it really represents what A3C is all about. It’s a lot going on,” Buttah says, taking a break between sets backstage. He was an entertaining host that involved the crowd by letting a few artists near the front spit a verse into the mic and made fun of some of their favourite artists, joking that Kanye needs a hug and Drake needs to stop crying, which made the wait between sets less painful.
Bennie Bates, a young artist who recently signed to MA$E took the opportunity to attend the event in order to network and check out the artists on the bill. “A lot of artists popped off from BET Music Matters so it’s a real event where you can get your shine on,” he says.
Highlights of the night included a surprise performance of “F.D.B,” by Young Dro, wild sets from Lecrae, female emcee Rapsody, who brought out Scotty ATL, and a hype set by Problem, who performed his verse of “Function”. The venue was completely full with festivalgoers, who wanted a part in the iconic event series and cheered on each act.
Meek Mill, who headlined the event, came out dressed in black with his chains glimmering off the stage lights as a sea of camera phones snapped the Philly rapper spitting “I’m A Boss”, “House Party” and ending off with “Lil N*gga Snupe” before he left the stage. The house DJ began to play “Levels” when Meek turned around and came right back on stage saying, “How could I forget this one?” The crowd screamed along and artists like Problem and Young Dro were spotted in the crowd getting just as turnt as the fans. Meek’s set was very short, but the talented bill from top to bottom made the A3C BET Music Matters event a smash.
