A recent trend in the R&B game has seen behind-the-scenes veterans (writers and producers) emerging with records that feature only their singing.  Following in the footsteps of Ne-Yo, Johnta Austin, Ryan Leslie, Dallas Austin, and Sean Garrett, 22-year old Armél is ready to become the next triple-threat artist in line.  As he demonstrates the art of smooth conversation around the ladies, things progress faster than expected as Armél proclaims “I Took It Down.”  With a guest feature by Juelz Santana, and L.T. Hutton’s low bass beat, Armel might find himself skipping to the front of the line sooner than expected.  Armél’s upcoming untitled album has no current release date.

I am feeling this beat right here. I can't wait for the Juelz-Lil Wayne album to drop! I think Armel has a smooth voice on here and the track is really nicely put together. Juelz comes correct on this track and simply helps it all out! Good Work here!

HHmmm okay the beat was hot, and the lyrics were a lil catchy but they mixed like beer and chocolate chip cookies, The beat was a way too childish/cartoonish for lyrics that insinuate sexuality this way kinda pedofilish/ R. Kelly-ish they way it mixed

Definitely hit the spot for me, the 'carnival-esque' beat made it light-hearted and gave it a summer track feel. Probably could have used Juelz more throughout the track, instead of letting him lay it down towards the end of the track. Not sure if Armel has what it takes to take on the likes of Ne-Yo, but give him a couple more singles and we'll see.

i like the attempt to make a different/creative beat but that ice cream truck melody is working my nerves after about 15 seconds...ive never really gotten into juelz...his rhymes are elementary at best

Something about this song reminds me of the carnival or the amusement park. It sounds like a beat that should be in the Wizard of Oz. Lewkiss I just read your comment and you are feeling me about the "carnival" theme. I don't see this track doing any damage on the radio. This is strictly an album filler.

The production is catchy and the collaboration between Armel and Juelz is solid. Kid has got himself a nice future. (PS. Juelz is such an underrated MC, who agrees/disagrees?)

Luv the lyrics- take me down baby (im a gurl).
But the beat if they took out the second half of that "kiddie-land" beat kept the baseline and symbols it would be hittin its just that second cords of that "do-dado-dado" too much. Buh Juelz killed it as i expected

This beat grows on you, at first your like what's with the clown music but it slowly blend in very nicely. It a solid track and both Armel and Juelz did there thing. Juelz has always been good on R&B track cause he keep it hard for the fellas but likeable to the ladies.

I really like the beat. Lyrics arent bad pretty catchy. But Juelz is a very underrated rapper. His lyrics are better than a lot of people out there, but what i think is his strongest asset is his delivery.

pretty good song, good lyrics, could use a better hook...i definitely think ill be giving juelz a little more props, he just needs to quit thinking he's better than he really is. just an average rapper, and is only hot because NY has no one else to look forward too.
