KSI has said he was shocked that both Rick Ross and Lil Baby wanted to be involved with the song. [8] Speaking on Lil Baby's involvement, KSI said, "I didn't expect Lil Baby to want to hop on [the song]. The beat is very different to what he normally hops on. But he came in, did his thing and just killed it." [8] Lil Baby reaffirmed this, saying, "[The song's] a different vibe from what I usually rap on. It was outside the box for me." [9] Regarding the involvement of Rick Ross, KSI said, "It's insane. To manage to get him to come through. It's ridiculous... It's a dream come true." [9] Speaking on being part of the collaboration, Rick Ross said, "It's really exciting... [KSI's] a young hustler. This younger generation really tuned into him. So I'm happy to be a part of it." [9] KSI affirmed, "It's definitely an honour to have [Rick Ross and Lil Baby] on [the song]. And it's gassed me up. It's shown me that I'm able to rap with these guys. I can make sick songs and I can have sick features." [10]

"Down Like That"
A 27-second sample of S-X's chorus, in which he sings about a failed relationship with a partner who has let him down.

"Down Like That" is a hip hop track. [11] [12] The instrumental uses a pre-generated loop, to which S-X added a bassline, keyboard notes, hi-hats, snare drum kicks and 808s. [1] S-X performs the chorus, in which he sings about a failed relationship with a partner who has let him down, with lyrics including, "I was nothing but loyal to you right from the start" and "you changed up on me as soon as things were getting hard". He delivers the first half of the chorus in a modal vocal register, before adopting a falsetto vocal register for the second half, which is preceded by a dubstep-inspired beat drop. [13] [14] [15] KSI has described the chorus as having "an emo-ish vibe". [3] KSI raps the first verse, in which he alludes to his forthcoming boxing rematch against Paul, with lyrics including, "I want that knockdown" and "emitting pain 'til your nothing". [13] [16] [17] The song has been called a "fight night anthem" due to its association with the rematch. [18] Rick Ross raps the second verse, which is immediately followed by Lil Baby rapping the third verse, with both rappers delivering some boastful lyrics. [13] [15]

Release and promotion

On 7 October 2019, KSI told Footasylum, "I'm [going to] be releasing a new single called 'Down Like That' with some big big [ sic ] features [who] no one is going to [expect]. I'm going to beat Logan and two days [later] I'm going to be filming [the] music video." [19] "Down Like That" was released for digital download and streaming by RBC Records and BMG on 8 November 2019 as the lead single from KSI's upcoming debut studio album. [20] The song stood as KSI's first release through the record label after signing with them in the October of that year. [21] The song's cover art depicts KSI as a cartoon comic book character, flying downwards through a blue sky and white clouds. [20] An audio video was released to KSI's YouTube channel on the same day as the song's release. [22]

On 9 November 2019, "Down Like That" was performed live by Rick Ross, Lil Baby and S-X at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, United States, before the commencement of KSI's boxing rematch against Paul, which KSI went on to win via split decision. [23] [24] The trio performed the song standing inside the boxing ring, while KSI made his entrance and walked towards the ring. [25] Reflecting on the live performance, KSI recalled, "As soon as I heard the track, I was on fire. I was pumped." [9] KSI said, "It [was] sick to have them perform it as my ring walk [music]. It was groundbreaking stuff; historical stuff."[ citation needed ] He continued, "It was huge. At the time, I was so focused [on the fight] that I didn't really take it in. It was only after the fight that I was like, 'I had Rick Ross and Lil Baby literally performing live!'" [7] Explaining the decision to have the featured artists perform the song at the rematch, KSI said, "I wanted to make a statement and get inside Logan's head." [11] He continued, "I wanted him to realise the scale and the level that I was going [in] at. I wanted him to understand that we're at a different level compared to the last fight and he's not ready. He definitely felt it." [12] KSI and S-X performed "Down Like That" at the beginning of The KSI Show. [26] The pair also performed "Down Like That" at the KISS Haunted House Party 2020, [27] BBC Radio 1's "Out Out! Live", held at the Wembley Arena, London, [28] and numerous festivals including Reading and Leeds Festivals 2021, [29] TRNSMT 2021 [30] and Parklife 2021. [31]

Critical reception

"Down Like That" was met with generally positive reviews from music critics. Many were "shocked" by the song's "impressive lineup" of featured artists. [32] In his review for HotNewHipHop, Mitch Findlay called it a "decent, if not entirely spectacular" track. He wrote that "KSI sounds comfortable on the instrumental". Findlay observed that Rick Ross' verse is "brief and admittedly phoned-in", but said that his "presence and gravitas are statements in themselves". Findlay continued, "Lil Baby fares no better, capable though not exerting himself in the slightest." [15] Anthony Fantano of The Needle Drop found the song "listenable", but similarly acknowledged that "it's just not very groundbreaking [and] not very memorable". [33]

Richard Smirke of Billboard called "Down Like That" a "catchy" and "hard-hitting" track. [11] Mark Savage of BBC News found the song "bone-chilling" and Louise Griffin of Metro called the song "brutal". [17] [34] Writing for Euphoria, Tom Fogden compared "Down Like That" to "a lot of commercial rap coming out of the US" due to its "infectious chorus" and "heavyweight features". [35] Link Up TV's Sam Rasmin praised S-X's "signature vocals" which create an "infectious" chorus. Rasmin proclaimed, "There is no doubt that this [song] will be doing numbers." [36] GRM Daily's Courtney Wynter liked how the four artists "combine their contrasting styles" and noted that "the energetic tone of the track reflects the triumphant mood surrounding [KSI's] win [against Paul]". [37] In their review of "Down Like That", the staff of unCrazed remarked that the song "changes the dynamics of hip-hop by creating a whole new genre of music" and called it "original, inspirational and congenial". They awarded the song a rating of five stars out of five. [38]

Music videos

The music video for "Down Like That" was directed by Nayip Ramos. [38] It was filmed in a warehouse in Los Angeles on 11 November 2019. [38] Speaking about the decision to film the music video after the rematch, KSI said, "It would have been very awkward if I had lost [the fight]. Very very awkward. I don't think [the music video shoot] would have happened if I'm being honest." [9] The day after it was shot, KSI teased the music video's release by posting a photo of the four artists that was taken on the set of the shoot to his social media pages. [39] [40] The music video premiered on KSI's YouTube channel on 22 November 2019 at 16:00 GMT. [41] A behind-the-scenes video of the shoot was released to the channel four days later. [42]

The music video opens with a brief message that reads, "On November 9th KSI beat Logan Paul in what was dubbed the biggest event in internet history. Two days later on November 11th he was on set filming his music video. Here is the result." [38] The opening scenes show KSI falling from a dark thunderous sky, before he crashes through a ceiling and lands on rubble concrete. [38] The remainder of the music video's cinematic imagery places the four artists in a dystopian comic book setting, centered in a world full of destruction, amongst motorcycles, burned out cars and glistening, bright-orange trash can fires. [9] [38] [43] The staff of Entertainment Tonight described the setting as "a Mad Max -inspired, apocalyptic warehouse with a dusty, grunge aesthetic". [9] Speaking about the music video, KSI said, "We just wanted it to look cool as hell. Nothing too crazy. But something that people will watch and be like, 'Yeah, this is sick.'" [9] The staff of NME called it a "blockbuster video" and Courtney Wynter of GRM Daily similarly called it a "big set of visuals". [3] [37] An alternative music video, titled "Down Like That (KSI vs Logan Paul 2 Edition)", which uses footage from KSI's boxing rematch against Paul to accompany the audio track, was released to KSI's YouTube channel on 4 December 2019.
