Wins & Losses is the third studio album by Philadelphia rapper Meek Mill, released on July 21, 2017, through Maybach Music Group and Atlantic Records. Coming after a run of mixtapes and EPs, the album gave Meek room to address the experiences that had shaped his life, from personal setbacks and street struggles to fame, money and the pressure of staying successful.

Across 17 tracks, Meek moves between hard-hitting rap records and more reflective moments. Songs like “1942 Flows,” “We Ball” and “Young Black America” capture different sides of the project, while guest appearances from Young Thug, Future, Lil Uzi Vert, Rick Ross and others add variety without taking the spotlight away from Meek.

Years after its release, Wins & Losses remains an important part of Meek Mill’s catalogue. This Aswehiphop guide takes a closer look at the album, including its full tracklist, featured artists, standout songs, chart performance and where to stream it.

About Meek Mill’s Wins & Losses Album

There is a personal side to Wins & Losses that gives the album more weight than a collection of motivational rap songs. Meek Mill uses the project to look at what success means when the journey has involved difficult decisions, broken relationships, grief and the realities of growing up in Philadelphia.

He doesn’t spend the entire album celebrating what he has achieved. Instead, he also reflects on the people and experiences that shaped him along the way. That contrast gives records like “Heavy Heart,” “Issues” and “These Scars” their place in the album’s bigger picture.

The album also arrived during a period when public attention around Meek’s personal life and rap career was difficult to avoid. Rather than allowing those headlines to define the music, he uses the project to tell his own side of the story. Pitchfork’s review of Wins & Losses discusses how the rapper approaches those setbacks and turns them into some of the album’s most revealing moments.

Standout Songs on Wins & Losses

1942 Flows

“1942 Flows” is one of the album’s most memorable solo performances. Meek sounds focused as he looks back at his journey, addressing the doubts, pressure and ambition that have followed him throughout his career. The record gives listeners a clear sense of the mindset behind the album: success means more when you remember what it took to get there.

We Ball (feat. Young Thug)

On “We Ball,” Meek Mill and Young Thug take a more emotional approach. The song reflects on friends and loved ones who are no longer around, turning the record into a tribute to people whose absence is still felt. Young Thug’s contribution fits the mood, making this one of the project’s most heartfelt collaborations.

Whatever You Need (feat. Chris Brown & Ty Dolla $ign)

“Whatever You Need” gives the album a smoother change of pace. With Chris Brown and Ty Dolla $ign handling the melodic elements, Meek steps into a more radio-friendly sound without completely leaving his rap identity behind. The collaboration became one of the project’s key singles and offers a different side of the album.

Young Black America (feat. The-Dream)

“Young Black America” brings social issues into the conversation. Featuring The-Dream, the song looks beyond personal success to address the challenges facing Black communities. It is one of the album’s more reflective moments, giving Meek space to speak about issues larger than his own career.

These Scars (feat. Future & Guordan Banks)

On “These Scars,” Meek Mill joins Future and Guordan Banks for a record that connects luxury and achievement with the difficult experiences that came before them. The collaboration adds another emotional layer to the album, showing how the past can remain present even after someone’s circumstances change.

For another perspective on the project, Rolling Stone’s review of Wins & Losses looks at Meek’s performance and the direction he takes across the album.
