(Radio.com) On November 6, A judge sentenced Meek Mill to two to four years in prison for a probation violation, leading hip-hop artists and activists to protest in the streets of Philadelphia.

Meek is now appealing the sentence and requesting "the recusal of Judge Brinkley from considering and ruling on that motion and from any further adjudicatory role in this case."

"Judge Brinkley has repeatedly offered inappropriate personal and professional advice to the defendant," Mill's attorney Brian Mcmonagle told Billboard. Read more here.
