Meek Mill still "doesn't feel free" following his release from prison, he has revealed in his first interview.
He also said he feels "responsibility" for others facing similar battles with the justice system.
The rapper told Lester Holt from NBC Nightly News: "I haven't felt free since I caught this case at 19 and I am 30 now."
"I haven't slept one minute since I been out of prison," the rapper said.
"It's actually like a culture shock, coming from a small cell back into the real world so I don't think my body has adjusted yet."
Meek Mill was released earlier this week after serving five months of a potential four-year sentence.
It was following a high profile campaign to free him backed by the likes of Jay-Z and comedian Kevin Hart.
Meek was arrested in March 2017 after a fight in an airport and again in August for reckless driving,
Although those charges were dropped, in November of the same year he was sentenced to two to four years in jail.
A judge said both arrests were a breach of his probation.
