"Down Bottom" is a song by American rapper Drag-On featuring Juvenile. It is the fourth single from American record label Ruff Ryders Entertainment's compilation album Ryde or Die Vol. 1 (1999). An official remix featuring American rapper Yung Wun was also released, and the remix was used for the music video.
Juvenile did not appear on the song when it was released as a single, although he appeared on the album version. Drag-On stated the reason in an interview with RapReviews: "Some real political stuff, I ain't know what was goin' on. I kinda blame me for not being in-tune (with the business) so that's why now I'm really sellin' my music, and plus I'm more in tune with the business side."[1]
In September 2023, it was revealed that at the time the song was created, Drag-On engaged in a rap battle with rapper Pitbull. Drag-On rapped a verse from "Down Bottom", which had not yet been released. Pitbull alleged that Drag-On was disqualified for using previously-written rhymes, making Pitbull the winner.[2]
