Meek Mill Makes His Long-Awaited Return With A Surprise ‘Quarantine Pack’ EP And Video For ‘Pain Away’
With little to no warning, the Philly native delivered the new EP, which marks his first release in almost six months. …

The end of November will mark two years since Meek Mill graced fans with his last full-length release, Championships. Since then fans have been patiently — and at times impatiently — waiting for the release of his next body of work. However, in the last two years, fans have only received a few singles here and there as the Philly native shifted his attention to be more heavily-focused on other endeavors like the film world with his Charm City Kings movie and activism thanks to his REFORM Alliance with Jay-Z. However, fans of the rapper should have no fear as Meek has returned with a new EP, one he appropriately labeled the Quarantine Pack.
With the new EP comes a video for “Pain Away,” his long-awaited collaboration with Lil Durk. The visual starts off with Meek flexing his money in one hand as he carries a weapon in the other. The song’s premise focuses on the Dreamchasers rapper’s desire for money to wipe away his pains, despite knowing that isn’t a reality in life. As the setting shifts to nightfall, Lil Durk steps in with a verse of his own, one that lines up with Meek’s thoughts as the Chicago rapper details his past pains and losses while struggling to trust the new faces that come into his life.
The Quarantine Pack EP comes with four songs including “Pain Away” and boasts additional features from 42 Dugg and Vory.
You can watch the “Pain Away” video above.
Quarantine Pack is out now via Dreamchasers/Atlantic. Get it here.
Meek Mill is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Mick J. Clark shares a charming serenade with his recent release “My Friend Evonne”

“My Friend Evonne,” the newest single by singer-songwriter Mick J. Clark, pulled from his sixth album, ‘Pole Position,’ is a heartfelt tribute to friendship. It captures the unique, one-in-a-million kind of connection, the rare blend that embodies aspects of a soulmate, best friend, confidante, and lifelong partner, a relationship most of us only dream about.
The song radiates with overly sentimental warmth, layered in nostalgic charm and lyrical sincerity. From the first note, the gentle groove feels like slipping into a treasured memory. Clark’s deep and golden voice carries a kind of lived-in wisdom; it doesn’t just sing about love; it truly understands it.
Evonne, as depicted in the song, isn’t just the object of affection; she’s a magnetic muse, a vivid memory, and a mythical figure wrapped in genuine emotion, the spark that illuminates the entire song. Described as a princess and a devil, she takes on a cinematic quality in Clark’s world, one who’s impossible to replace, forget and even harder not to love. The beauty of the song lies in its simplicity: devoid of flashy production tricks or over-the-top dramatics, it emphasizes pure emotion, elite songwriting, and a melody that lingers like scent on a favorite shirt.
This authenticity is what keeps Mick J. Clark’s fanbase steadily growing. He writes from the heart, sings from the soul, and invites audiences into his narrative. “My Friend Evonne” isn’t just a song; it’s a sonic love letter with quite a triumphant chorus. And trust me, once you hear it, you’ll feel like you truly know Evonne.

Kate Neckel rides on emotions in new single “Wave Break”

Kate Neckel’s “Wave Break” bursts in with an invigorating splash of raw honesty. The song was recorded in a single spontaneous take from her NYC home and is a living, breathing moment. Once again, it is evident that Neckel’s boundary-shattering artistry also crosses disciplines.
“Wave Break” vibrates with unfiltered energy that can’t be faked. Just as she casts her visual art instinctively and quickly, her songwriting process is impulsive and in the moment. The effect is a track that feels more like a brushstroke on the canvas of your life than a studio-cut single. The imperfections are fingerprints and evidence of a real human being behind each note and breath.
What sets “Wave Break” apart is how closely it gets to a sense of place and presence. You can hear the hum of city life, apartment acoustics, and the urgency of inspiration coursing in real-time. It’s also intimate, gritty, and fiercely alive. Neckel’s voice glides along the track like the tide, flowing with feeling and then receding into reserve, and at no point does it lose its truthfulness.
As performer and producer, Neckel stamps every layer of the track with her artistic DNA. Even the single’s artwork, done by her hand, contributes to this immersive effect. “Wave Break” invites you to feel, see, and exist inside a moment of pure creative expression. “Wave Break” is a testament to her evolution from a visual artist to a storyteller and the power of the unfiltered when it comes to the art that matters most.
