Meekz announces new mixtape ‘Mr Can’t Stop Won’t Stop’, the long-awaited follow-up to the landmark project that helped cement him as one of the defining voices in British rap. Landing 26th June, the mixtape sees the Gorton-raised rap masked avenger revisit the world that made him iconic – but on an even bigger, more cinematic scale.
Alongside the announcement comes new single ‘Can’t Stop Won’t Stop 2’, a statement of intent from an artist operating at a level few in UK rap can touch. Over emotive keys and thunderous production, Meekz delivers a reminder of exactly why he remains such a towering force within the genre. “Can’t stop, won’t stop” isn’t just a mantra – it’s the philosophy that has defined his journey through grief, survival and success. “We are not the same,” he declares, as the track builds into a cold, triumphant showcase of Meekz at his sharpest. “Rap changed me as a person.”
The accompanying visual expands Meekz’s cinematic universe once again. If the original ‘Can’t Stop Won’t Stop’ video – now sitting at over 21 million views – became one of the most iconic visuals in UK rap history, this sequel raises the stakes even higher. Tanks storm through muddy trenches, engines roar across battlefields and Meekz stands centre-frame commanding the chaos. It’s blockbuster-level world-building that continues to separate him from everybody else in the game.
Driven by resilience, ambition and authenticity, Meekz has built a catalogue rooted in real-life experience – inspired by personal loss, friends lost to violence and prison, and a relentless refusal to give up. That honesty continues across ‘Mr Can’t Stop Won’t Stop’ a project that feels both deeply personal and culturally huge. The artwork for the mixtape was created during a late-night painting session with artist Slawn, the pair passing the brush between them until a single image emerged – a reflection of where Meekz sits now, at the intersection of music, art and fashion.
Already co-signed by Dave and Central Cee, with70M+ streams in 2024, two Official Charts Top 12 projects and standout moments spanning Wireless Festival, Reading and Leeds Festival, Glastonbury Festival and the Brit Awards, Meekz continues to push UK rap into new territory – with vision, scale and creativity that remains entirely unmatched.
