Song of the Day: Meek Mill, “Traumatized”

Today’s song is from Meek Mill. “Traumatized.” Shout out to Philly’s own Meek Mill who would have closed 2012 on a much better note had he not been grounded by a judge for a parole violation. I felt bad that he had to miss out on a bunch of tour dates; maybe he will think […]
