Since the early 1990’s, the music scene in Cleveland, OH hasn’t been the same. The city has long searched for it’s distinct sound. Well it wasn’t until late 2003 that an eastside rapper/producer by the name of Meca, acronym for (My Entourage Conquers All), released his first EP titled “L.O.L”- no not Laugh Out Loud… but Live Off Lics, which was derived from his lifestyle of robberies and breaking & enterings. Unfortunately, around this time the city of Cleveland was so big on Houston’s “chopped & screwed” music that Meca really didn’t receive much love in the streets. So in return, he did what any natural street hustler would do… started persuing better drug connects!

Even when Meca wasn’t rapping he was always making beats. He was so musically inclined that he couldn’t give up completely. It wasn’t until early 2005 that a group named the “Gutta League” was formed, consisting of 3 of his brothers and 2 other guys from his hood. The group had an amazing buzz around the notorious Kinsman Ave. area, which led to opening acts for rappers 8ball & MJG, and more.

Well as they say, “good things don’t last long”, the Gutta League movement was cut short due to inexperienced leadership and lack of persistence. The artist then pretty much went thier way and Meca, being the dedicated go-getter he was, couldn’t give up.

In 2006 he started his own recording label called “BeatLab Entertainment” and put together several mixtapes which featured some of the area’s hottest and well-known MC’s, in hopes to spread the Cleveland love and broaden his recognition. Meca knows that breaking into the music industry is a costly struggle. So while he keeps hitting the streets over the head with some of the most uniquely commercial “gangster music” around, he still remains one of the most well known and respected hustlers throughout the streets of Cleveland.
