Meek MillSpend the last money on blank CDs

Meek Mill spent scarce money burning CDs.

Before arenas and charting albums, Meek Mill was street battling and making mixtapes.

He recalled buying blank CDs and jewel cases, encouraging friends to burn copies and putting what little money they had into getting the music circulated.

That is what distribution looked like: one burned CD at a time.
