MxNxSTxR, the side project of Ty Dolla $ign, and trailblazing producer/DJ and electronic music tastemaker Destructo have teamed up for a powerhouse collaboration, ‘What You Need’ feat. Thundercat & Channel Tres. The new track is out across all platforms via Empire.
About ‘What You Need’
‘What You Need’ delivers the long-awaited follow-up to MxNxSTxR and Destructo’s 2022 ‘All Of Me.’ The R&B-infused disco-funk jam is a co-production between DESTRUCTO and MxNxSTxR, creating a fresh set of intoxicating melodies and basslines for the place where the two artists share their passion: the dancefloor.
Anyone familiar with ‘Oh Sheit, It’s X’ knows Thundercat thrives on a dance track. Here, Thunder delivers falsetto and thick slabs of bass to a rush of French touch, perfect for under a disco ball or under the sun. Offsetting the heat of the dancefloor or summer sun like a cool breeze comes Channel Tres, his effortlessness and poise made evident with a smooth verse. It all comes together so seamlessly, because everyone here is an expert at what they do.
An Intertwined History
All four artists share overlapping histories with each other across the 2020s, and ‘What You Need’ is years in the making. The idea was born at a writing session in MxNxSTxR’s studio during the Pandemic lockdowns in LA 2020, followed by 2022’s ‘All of Me,’ the first taste of their project for fans, which amassed over 555,000 plays worldwide. Ty Dolla $ign has appeared on Destructo’s iconic HARD music festivals and Friendship cruises over the years, with MxNxSTxR making his seafaring debut earlier this year. Among the four LA artists are various collabs over the years. Thundercat tapped Ty Dolla for the track ‘Fair Chance‘ from his GRAMMY-winning album, It Is What It Is, and more recently collaborated with Channel Tres on the track ‘Candy Paint‘ from his debut album Head Rush (2024). That same year, Ty and Channel also teamed up for ‘Holy Moly.’ Destructo and Ty’s collaborative efforts stretch back to 2016 with ‘4 Real,‘ a standout track also featuring ILOVEMAKONNEN from Destructo’s Renegade EP.
