Guide Review - Yung Joc - It's Goin' Down (Bad Boy/Atlantic)

Yung Joc's cheesy raps coupled with the formulaic production ensures that "It's Goin' Down" will go anywhere but up. It lacks the funky bounce of "The Mighty O" or the dramatic grip of "What You Know." In fact, Nitti's implied kicks and spaced out snares gives "Goin' Down" a sonic resemblance with "Laffy Taffy." This is more likely to put you to sleep than make you get up and do the "Joc".
