From the Vault: Aspiring Clarkston rapper Shinin' teams up with up-and-coming Stone Mountain singer Omar Valentino for this Eastside anthem. After being told about a young musician in the area that's gaining a lot of buzz, Shinin' seeks out Valentino near Pine Lake and the pair start making music immediately. 

Shinin' sees the potential right away and takes Valentino to an official recording studio to track some of their better works. The pair met at The Hit Committee studio, in Chamblee, where Valentino played a JayTrill beat and the rest was history.

Word spread quickly throughout the Eastside. The song was recorded before there was time to write anything yet. Experience has shown that this type of serendipity usually leads to some of the best songs, and it was true for this one. The people liked "Down" so much that they began clamoring for a music video while there was still a buzz. The young Valentino is still in school at Stone Mountain High School at the time, so Shinin' gets him out of class to shoot the accompanying music video.
