As much as I try not to duplicate or post similar songs within days of one another, sometimes you just have to throw your hands up and say, "this deserves your attention, NOW!" Such is the case with this bangalicious banger of the same Keri Hilson track we featured yesterday.
Today, we have the OFFICIAL club remix of Knock You Down from Cali-boys, Electrolightz. And what makes it even better is the removal of the Ne-Yo drop, and the addition of Rye Rye!
Hells bells, this is what we like to hear! This mix is a total fist pumper and B'More's finest cracks skulls with her distinct tongue and flavor.
I dare you to say you don't like this. Go on. Try me. - Sheenabeaston.com
It's been five months since the single dropped, and, in the tradition of every Top 40 track these days, an overabundance of shitty remixes have been made. This Electrolightz remix is far above the pile of suck ... Rye Rye's verse probably has something to do with it as well as the fact that Ne-Yo's contribution has been axed. - Pandatoes.blogspot.com
