Laws - Hold You Down (Remix)
Artist: Laws
Featuring: Emilio Rojas , Big K.R.I.T
Producer: DJ Khalil
Album: 4:57 Mixtape
Label: Unsigned
It’s been about five months since Laws dropped his breakthrough 4:57 Mixtape, but when you’ve cooked up a musical meal that delicious, you can eat off it for months. Or, in the case of Hold You Down, simply reheat…I mean remix it. For Hold You Down’s second go around the original bouncing beat from DJ Khalil remains untouched, but lyrically it’s a brave new world, with Laws dropping two new dope verses (though I could have done without the Solar murder reference), The Natural Emilio Rojas jumping on board to absolutely annihilate his section, and Booth favorite and recent Def Jam signee Big K.R.I.T. bringing in some southern style. Did I mention Rojas killed it? “You ain’t never shuttin nothing down, you’re like Guantanamo Bay.” Damn. Still haven’t downloaded 4:57? I highly suggest you start playing catch up right now and get on board before you get left behind. And of course keep it locked for the latest from Laws – with the ink dry on his Warner Bros. contract it’s only a matter of time before we start hearing major label releases from the man.

 I gave the original version of this DOPE record a 4.... and this is better (but not quite on that classic level). Everyone comes with the heat and though the beat remains untouched (or shall we shall un-remixed), there was no need - because its flame.

Absolutely great track. KRIT does a damn good job, and Laws is always on point, but Rojas' verse is one of the better guest verses I've heard in a minute. Period. Just absolutely sick.

I never heard of Emilio Rojas before this, im for sure going to be looking out for this dude. His flows something new and its just super dope, it reminds me a little bit of Talib Kweli in the beginning of his verse. Krit and Laws did theyre thing but Rojas is what stood out for me in this track. Banger!

Innsane verses! Laws has blossomed into a great artist, Rojas really stood out and Krit brought what the south is really about on here.

Emilio Rojas is ALWAYS on point. I've heard some classic flows from him, this one included. Good showing by everyone. I feel like these guys are all right on the cusp of making it out the underground.

Emilio's verse was crazy, production disappointed me considerably. Everyone else's verses were subpar considering there record for putting out good quality tracks. My expectations were a little high considering the guest features.

Beat = FIRE! Verses were all on point. Laws flow is so smooth too, and fits really well on this track. Simple catchy hook. Great song.

Original version was a classic to me. But damn! Rojas with such a vicious verse, and K.R.I.T. (who's mix-album I'm still slappin')adds that Southern element I didn't necessarily think would fit, but did very well. And then of course there's Laws, who has me juiced about whatever his next project will be!

HUGE fan of Emilio Rojas, this was even a suprise though he absolutely RIPPED this shit up!!! Laws was crazy too, loved his mixtape, he's got big things coming ahead, Big KRIT has got a krazy flow, he didn't use too much hear but it didn't need it in my opinion. Crazy song.

Rojas destroys this beat. His verse in unreal. KRIT holds his own, and Laws closes the song with a decent verse. The hook is good. But, this one is all about Rojas.
