In a recent interview, Meek revealed Dreams Worth More Than Money songs which did not make the final cut would come out soon.

“As soon as I came home from jail [it was] album right here, done. Right back in the street,” Meek said in an interview. “I had a different album before I went to jail. I always see people on Instagram like ‘where them other songs at?’. We still gonna use them. They’re coming soon.” (Revolt TV)

San Diego Chargers’ Melvin Ingram recently talked to SOHH about his respect for Meek and intent to buy the new LP.

“One of my favorite rappers is Meek Mill. I feel like I gravitate a lot more to his music because I feel like I understand where he’s coming from. I would never try to say I mold myself after nobody. Of course I’m going to be on the lookout for [Dreams Worth More Than Money] because I feel like Meek’s whole album is going to be heat. I’m going to grab that. I mess with the whole [Maybach Music Group] movement. I’ve been on Meek’s music for a minute. I’ve been rocking with him for a minute.” (SOHH)
