Down In the DM

About this song

The song was produced by Florida-based musicians Ben Billions and Schife Karbeen, and it has a minimalist, bass-heavy sound built on synths and 808 drums. It follows in the tradition of Zapp's "Computer Love," Three 6 Mafia's "2-Way Freak," and Trey Songz's "LOL :)." It first appeared on Yo Gotti's independent mixtape The Return in September 2015 and was released by Epic Records as a single on October 25, 2015. Rick Ross later remixed it on October 31 as part of his #RenzelRemixes series, and Yo Gotti released his own remix on February 3, 2016, featuring a new verse from Nicki Minaj.
