| simply works harder and harder every day. | | | | |
| This type of dedication should take him a | | | | 10. "BADD" |
| long way as long as bad luck doesn't get in | | | | |

| | | | |
| Its Goin Down: | | | | 12. "Its Official" |
| | | | |
| This is the song that did it all. Yung Joc's | | | | (Retrieved from |
| first single off his soon to be released | | | | |
| album "New Joc City," "Its Goin Down," has | | | | Joc-In |
| garnered him more attention than any hit | | | | |
| single in a long time. Before his album has | | | | You know that dance that Yung Joc and his |
| even released, Joc has topped numerous | | | | boys are doing during the "Its Goin Down" |
| countdowns. BET has had Joc on the top for | | | | video? Well Joc has labled that dance |
| some time now, and the Billboard Hot Top 100 | | | | "Joc-in" and it is spreading like wild fire. |
| for Hip Hop and R&B has recently put "Its | | | | The first major instance of the spread is |
| Goin Down" at the top of their chart. | | | | when Tom Cruise did the Joc-in dance. You |
| | | | know you have gone mainstream when Tom Cruise |
| Looking Deeper into Its Goin Down: | | | | is copying you. There is an animation |
| | | | located at Yung Joc TV that has been spread |
| Lets start off with the very first thing you | | | | all over myspace. In general this type of |
| hear when you pop on "Its Goin Down," "This a | | | | marketing strategy is what puts Yung Joc at |
| nitty beat (boing)." That lyric right there | | | | the top of the game. Whenever a new rapper |
| is telling all the fans that the beat to this | | | | is coming out they need something that can be |
| song was produced by Nitty. Nitty helped | | | | associated with them. Not only does Yung Joc |
| Yung Joc with the song, and the referenced to | | | | have Joc-in, but he also has P. Diddy behind |
| Nitty's work is made a few times throughout | | | | him. |
| the song. Moving along to Joc's first words | | | | |
| you hear, "Niggaz in my face, Damn near er' | | | | Joc's future |
| day, Askin a million questions like Joc where | | | | |
| ya stay, Tell 'em collegepark, Where they | | | | In reality there are tons of rappers who come |
| chop cars." Right there is a shout out to | | | | out with a hit single and then fall on their |
| College Park Georgia, where Joc resides. Now | | | | face. In regards to Yung Joc, I simply do |
| onto the famous chorus: "Meet me in the trap | | | | not see a drastic downfall coming any time |
| its goin down, Meet me in the mall its goin | | | | soon. For one, he has a business mind to go |
| down, Meet me in the club its goin down, Any | | | | with his musical talent. Often the most |
| where ya meet me guaranteed to go down." | | | | successful rappers are businessmen who know |
| That right there is what made Yung Joc | | | | how to get their name out there. Couple that |
| explode single handedly. That chorus is | | | | with the fact that Yung Joc has P. Diddy |
| being repeated 1000's of times each and every | | | | behind him, and he would really need |
| day. People are changing their vocabulary | | | | something horrific to happen for Yung Joc to |
| just to spit that line. I see people posting | | | | be a one-and-done artist. Yung Joc could use |
| those lyrics on their friend's myspace for no | | | | another nice single or two to establish his |
| reason other than the fact that the chorus is | | | | dominance in the rap game, and then from |
| hot. In the business everyone says you need | | | | there I see him flourishing for the rest of |
| a hook to be successful, and the hook to "Its | | | | his career. I am already anxiously awaiting |
| Goin Down" is absolutely perfect. | | | | his next album, even though his first album |
| | | | has yet to drop! |
