Chicago-based music producer and rapper Meedak is “Built Different”

A music production savvy and lyrical poet, Meedak’s journey has been one of constant growth and evolution. While he started just as a beat maker and engineer, he has expanded his vision and portfolio into a lyrical maestro who is vividly painting lived experiences, deep emotions, and worldviews over infectious beats that pay homage to the golden age of rap while being futuristically accessible. Meedak is more than just a producer—he’s a curator of feeling and culture. His music doesn’t just move you—it transports you. For anyone out there who had given up on rap, he is your hope as he restores the lost glory of this kind of music that we grew up with.

“Built Different” is rap music par excellence, a track built around boom bap influence and backed by an attention-grabbing story that is as inspiring as it is captivating. The beat is nostalgic— the delivery leaves nothing to be desired!

Showcasing his lyrical worth as much as his evolution, Meedak takes a listener through his own journey that has been marked by growth, resilience, and a never-say-die attitude. This is the mark of an artist who has always been looking ahead, trying to better himself in all aspects of his life, and triumphing over adversity every step of the way.

Meedak has got the voice for it: laid-back and still commanding, and one that perfectly matches the vibe of the track as he tells his story, exuding deep emotions meant to inspire anyone navigating their journey to greatness.

“Built Different” is the showcase of a confident, mature, and resilient artist who demands more from himself than anyone else. His charisma is palpable, and the confidence he exudes here is infectious—making a listener gravitate more towards his side of the story. And you know what? That’s what hip-hop music is supposed to do.

A true sculptor of authentic hip-hop music, Meedak has started on the right note, seeing that this is his very first single that he has produced and rapped on himself.

For now, we survive on the promise that Meedak will be following up this single with more epic, story-fueled, and meticulously crafted productions that will contribute to shaping the image of hip-hop and introduce him to an even bigger audience.

As the stage awaits, it is only right that we play “Built Different” one more time!
