Watch a preview below! Music mogul Jay-Z and hip-hop artist Meek Mill are getting into business together with the announcement of Mill's new record label: Dream Chasers. The label is a joint venture with Jay-Z's Roc Nation and marks the beginning of a new chapter for the 32-year-old emcee on the business side of the music industry. Mill became a symbol for criminal justice reform in 2017 when a Philadelphia judge sentenced him to two to four years in prison for minor probation violations. He would go on to spend months behind bars before a court ordered him to be released in April 2018. Last Tuesday, Mill's lawyers asked a Pennsylvania appeals court to grant Mill a new trial.
