hit up

Ask for cash

Hit up is to contact someone, usually to ask for something or make a request: Hit me up if you need anything, She hit up her parents for money.

The phrase implies casual, often transactional communication—you hit up a friend for a favor, a dealer for drugs, or someone you're interested in romantically.

I'll hit you up later means I'll be in touch.
