"It's Goin' Down" is the first single from Yung Joc's debut album New Joc City, and is produced by and features Nitti. The song is part of the snap genre, popular in hip-hop music from the Southern United States. In the video, people are seen snapping their fingers but no one is shown doing the dance. Instead, people are shown doing Yung Joc's dance the "Joc-in" which is also called "The Motorcycle". WWE's JTG has been seen doing this dance during his entrance and in matches. It was voted the #1 song of 2006 on MTV2's Sucker Free Countdown. It also was voted number 1 on BET's 106 & Park. It is also #1 on BET's Top 100 Songs of 2006. It was nominated at the 2007 Grammy awards for best rap song but lost to Money Maker by Ludacris. 3 remixes were made for this song: one featuring Cam'ron, Rick Ross, Slim Thug, & Jody Breeze, one featuring Trae & the other by Lil Wayne, Rick Ross & Currency.
