"Check" is a song by American rapper Meek Mill from his second studio album, Dreams Worth More Than Money (2015). The song was produced by Metro Boomin and Southside, who served as co-writers with Mill. After Mill shared a preview on April 30, 2015, it was released as the album's lead single on June 1, through Maybach Music Group. A club number, it is reliant on three synth notes. In the lyrics of the song, Mill raps about heavy spending at nightclubs and his rise to the top.
"Check" received widespread acclaim from music critics, who mostly highlighted Mill's energy. Some praised the production, while a few critics saw the performance as among Mill's best. The song peaked at numbers 5 and 37 on the US Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 and Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs charts, respectively. It was certified gold in the United States by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). An accompanying music video was filmed in Philadelphia during June 2015, although a pistol-whipping on set led to it being shelved until February 21, 2017. In the video, Mill tries to make more money with his friends in the city and they also pass it around.
