Meek Lion is not your average hip-hop artist focusing on shallow, plastic entertainment: He is first and foremost a devote Christian, a father and a veteran who burns for giving back to his community. His career as a hip-hop artist and producer is his way to praise the lord and share a positive message with a new generation of listeners. There is something extremely powerful in coming-of-age stories. These are the stories that can truly change your life, and make you realize how to live in the best possible way, knowing what is really important in our existence. Meek Lion, born Jimmy Riley, actually went through a lot of hardships and ups and downs within his lifetime, coming from a  very tough upbringing in a section 8 housing project known as "Hickory Hills". Here is were Meek Lion tragically learned the cruelty of life, having witness somebody being shot. At that time, he was only 6.  Meek Lion later joined the military and served in Afghanistan (deployed in 2010). After the experience, he finally saw the light and decided to give his life to Christ - as well as using his God-given talent for rap music to share a positive message to the people.  In much the same way his life has changed because of the love and bliss of Christ, anybody could find a better way through faith!
