January 10th, 2025 — Following a viral trend on TikTok, Trip Lee’s hit single “Lay Down” has received two brand-new remixes, now available on all major platforms.

Listen to the “Lay Down (Remix Pack)” here.

The Dallas-born rapper, author, preacher, husband, and father continues to make waves in the music world, over three years into his return to hip-hop. Since releasing his seventh studio album, The End, in 2022, Trip Lee has shown no signs of slowing down. His most recent LP, The Epilogue, features the original “Lay Down,” which gained renewed attention after becoming a favorite in the anime community on TikTok.

The viral buzz began when users started incorporating the song’s intro into their videos, mistaking the unique sample for an existing track and prompting countless inquiries about its origin. In reality, the intro was an original creation by Trip Lee and producer Mashell. The song saw over a 200% increase in streaming following the excitement on TikTok quickly rising to the hottest song in his catalog. Embracing the unexpected surge of interest, Trip responded by crafting two fresh takes on the song. These remixes, packaged as the “Lay Down (Remix Pack),” include “Lay Down (Safe & Sound)” and “Lay Down (Part II).”

When the original “Lay Down” debuted in 2023, Trip Lee shared a TikTok post revealing the creative process behind the song’s sample and its deeply personal meaning. The new remixes offer fans an expanded perspective on the track’s themes and artistry:

  • “Lay Down (Safe & Sound)” elevates the iconic sample by extending the intro into a sweeping piano melody. The serene soundscape pairs perfectly with Trip’s introspective lyrics, exploring themes of darkness, resilience, and finding strength in identity through Christ.
  • “Lay Down (Part II)” brings a fresh production twist with Mashell incorporating elements of Jersey Club into the track. The remix includes two brand-new verses, showcasing Trip’s lyrical prowess and providing fans with more layers to unpack and enjoy.

Reflecting on the song’s viral success and the journey to creating the remixes, Trip Lee shared:

“It’s been incredible to see how ‘Lay Down’ has resonated with people all over the world. It really became something much bigger than I imagined, and revisiting it to create these remixes was both a challenge and a joy. I hope these new versions continue to inspire and connect with listeners.”

Trip Lee's storied career began over a decade ago after a chance meeting with Lecrae and the Reach Records team at a show. 8 full length albums later and over 5 years of planting and pastoring churches, all while dealing with chronic fatigue, Trip is a walking example of the power of hope and resilience. His ability to merge deep spiritual truths with modern sounds has solidified his place as a trailblazer in hip-hop. The “Lay Down (Remix Pack)” is yet another testament to his artistic versatility and connection with his audience.
