With his new solo album Wins & Losses due later this year, the lead up to Meek Mill’s third studio LP is off and running. In the month of May alone, the MMG rapper has released the Meekend Music EP, music videos for “Litty” and “Left Hollywood,” plus the Honorable C.N.O.T.E.-produced “Glow Up.”

The Philly street spitter now tones it down a bit, putting the aggressive raps to the side on “Whatever You Need.” Catered to the ladies, the sexy new offering features the powerful R&B tandem of Chris Brown and Ty Dolla $ign. Produced by DJ Mustard, the song samples Tony! Toni! Toné!’s “Whatever You Want,” which Ludacris later used on his “Splash Waterfalls” remix with Raphael Saadiq in 2004.
