In February 2017, Papamitrou released two major songs on Don Q's project "Corner Stories[18][19]" named "Don Vito,[19][20][21]" & "It's All Love[22]" with a feature from Dave East.[23][24][25][26] He then released a song with Meek Mill on the Meekend II[27] mixtape called, "Young Nxxx Dreams,[28][29][30][31]" (ft. YFN Lucci & Barcelini).[32][33][34] On July 21, 2017, Meek Mill released the Wins & Losses[35] album worldwide with three major songs produced by Papamitrou.[36] He produced the intro called "Wins & Losses",[3][4] "Connect The Dots"[3][4][37] (ft. Yo Gotti & Rick Ross) and "These Scars"[3][4](ft. Future & Guordan Banks). The Wins and Losses Album debuted at No. 3[38][39][40][41] on the Billboard 200 Albums Chart with 102,000 units[42][43][44] in album sales on its first week. The album remained at No. 3 for the second week.[44][42][45] Papamitrou explained how he got involved with Meek Mill and the Dreamchasers in an interview[46] with My Mixtapez[47]
