Seven years ago, rapper Meek Mill was released from prison following an outcry that turned into a social movement around probation and parole reform. Now he’s the face of REFORM Alliance, a nonprofit he co-founded alongside his friends Jay-Z and Fanatics CEO and founder, Michael Rubin. “I never thought I would become like the face of reform,” Mill told NBC News on Saturday ahead of the nonprofit’s fundraiser at the Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City. “I come from the other side of America. We always talk about it, but just climbing through poverty, climbing through being sent in and out of prison.”
