Meek Mill is gearing up to release his new Rick Ross-assisted single “Kobe and Shaq” soon – and fans will get it even sooner if they achieve just one directive.
Taking to his Instagram with the single’s cover art on Monday (September 25), the Philly native promised that he’d drop the track before its intended release date of Friday (September 29) if the post reached 20k comments.

As of this writing, the post has amassed over half of its goal as it approaches 12k comments in three hours. You can check it out below.
Fans knew something between the pair had been in the works, as last month, Meek Mill shared footage of himself in the studio with Rick Ross.
Taking to Instagram, Meek uploaded a three-slide carousel featuring him and Rozay hanging out at Miami’s state-of-the-art House of Hits recording facility.
Both rappers appeared to be their own hypemen as unreleased music blasted out of the surrounding speakers. There was no shortage of slick bars and melodic production with both tracks that were played.
“MEEK X ROZAY SOUNDS…. I know I know it’s gonna drop [face with steam from nose emoji],” Meek Mill promised in the post’s caption.
Fans and peers of both Meek and Ross flooded the comments section, requesting that they release their new offerings immediately.

One fan cut right to the chase, writing: “I’m reporting your page since you wanna keep playing. Get tf off IG and log into iTunes N-gga.” Another replied: “Every time y’all link I get hype. Two of the realist. [fire emoji].”
An additional fan even called out Meek Mill for his ways of teasing new music, saying: “One thing meek gone do is drop snippets of songs we never gonna get [face with spiral eyes emoji].”

Both the “What’s Free” rapper and MMG head honcho have been on good terms over the last few months.
Back in March, Meek Mill gave Rick Ross his props for conducting good business through Maybach Music Group. “Rozay kept it solid wit my contract when I came to him with the business [diamond emoji] MMG X DC,” he wrote on Twitter.

Around that same time, Rozay and Meek reunited in the studio for a listening session. Both rappers posted videos and photos of their studio session on social media, with one clip containing a snippet of a previous collaboration between the pair.
At the time, Rozay hinted at the track arriving “very soon,” while Meek captioned his Instagram post by calling their in-studio reconciliation “perfect timing.”
