In 2007, Jacquees was introduced to his manager, Orlando Grind, by Dexx Lee. After years of performing in local talent shows, Orlando soon introduced him to Russell "Block" Spencer, founder and CEO of Block Entertainment. When Jacquees started going to the studio he merely blended with the team and wasn't given the opportunity to express his true talents. "When you see work being done around you but not for you, you tend to get discouraged," says Jacquees. At that time, Block's focus was only rap, not R&B. It wasn't until summer of 2009 when Block witnessed how talented Jacquees was and shifted his vision. Jacquees began to work closely with Block Entertainment recording and gaining more exposure with the release of his first single "Krazy" featuring Grand Hustle's own, T.I.
Jacquees has recorded with label mates, Gorilla Zoe and Scotty, T.I.P, and an upcoming Atlanta rapper, J-Real. Jacquees dreams to work with established artist Lil Wayne, Drake, Justin Bieber, Bow Wow, Lil' Chuckee, Chris Brown, and many more. "All of these artists started out at the age I am and are successful in the industry. I look up to them and dream that I will be just as successful as they are," Jacquees explains. "Only better!"
"It's truly a blessing to have the opportunity to work with the artist and producers I have already worked with," says Jacquees. "I pray to God every night that I continue on this journey and achieve what I've always dreamed of doing. With God on my side, I know this is only the beginning and there is more to come." With that in mind, Jacquees will achieve any and everything he wants out of the music industry.

Jacquees Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you want me to call you?
Girl, I want you, like an alcoholic
I'm so drunk, I'm so drowned
Put you in a cup, let me pour 'dat up!
That Cali weed, roll it up, roll it up!
Now I've been thinking 'bout the things
That we gon' do tonight
Wanna go first? Take off!
If I bring you to the plate, will you play ball?
I'm a hit it hard like a paintball
A soldier I'm 'bout to go AWOL (you want it)
She wanna play? I'm a let her ride, ride, ride it!
All day, I'm a let her try, try, try, yeah!
Get ready! On your mark, get set, go! (set go!)
When I'm swimming in it I'm a do the breast stroke
Let's go!
She told me, sing another love song please
She got her hands on me
Like "baby, I need Jacquees"
Girl, it ain't nothing in this world for free
I gotta put it down before I wear the crown
(I won't turn it down, down) no!
(I won't turn it down, down) no!
(I won't turn it down, down) no!
Baby, turn up! With this AK, I'm ready to bust now
I won't turn it down! Oh no!
Look, they say you are what you eat
Fuck that! You are who you feed
A list, the pussy the greatest
When I'm going raw dog, nigga, fuck a plan B!
Understand me? I got her singing them high notes
She holding my Grammy
A nigga like a laundry mat
When I'm eating them panties
Come from the A, but she live in Miami
All the bitches in Hollywood, get this molly wood
Week days be jumpin'
But the weekend, bring the freaks in
I need a bitch straight up outta Bompton
Bees up, what up 5?
White vita and them all red 5's
Kill the pussy, I deal the pussy
And girl I'm 'bout to make that ass come alive!
How you make it do that?
Gon' and ride this wave bitch, like a du-rag
Zero to sixty through your neighborhood
Shout out to the homies with blue flags
This new jag, got new tags!
On top nigga, where you at?
You wanna tell me how to act, huh?
Nigga, this my movie!
She wanna play
I'm a let her ride, ride, ride it!
All day, I'm a let her try, try, try it!
Get ready, on your mark, get set go!
When I'm swimming in that, I'm a do the breast stroke
She told me, sing another love song please
She got her hands on me
Like "baby, I need Jacquees"
Girl, it ain't nothing in this world for free
I gotta put it down before wear the crown
(I won't turn it down, down) no!
(I won't turn it down, down) no!
(I won't turn it down, down) no!
Baby, turn up! With this AK, I'm ready to bust now but,
I won't turn it down!
If you give it up, that's when we gon' fall in love
Give it up, that's when we gon' fall in love (yeah!)
Give it up, that's when we gon' fall in love (yeah!)
Give it up, give it up (yeah!)
The lyrics to Jacquees feat. Chris Brown's song Won't Turn it Down are sexually suggestive, and revolve around the idea of wanting to engage in sexual activities with a woman. The song starts with Jacquees asking for the woman's number, with the implication that he wants to call her for the purpose of meeting up and engaging in sexual activities. The use of the metaphor "I want you like an alcoholic" compares his desire for her to the way an alcoholic needs alcohol. He also mentions being drunk and "drowned", suggesting that his desire for her has overwhelmed him.
Throughout the song, Jacquees and Chris Brown take turns describing sexual acts they want to engage in with the woman. They discuss the use of drugs and alcohol, with references to Cali weed and molly, as well as BDSM-like activities, such as "games I'm a play with you tonight" and "hit it hard like a paintball". They both express their desire to engage in sexual activities with the woman and to pleasure her. The repeated refrain "I won't turn it down" reinforces their persistent desire.
The song can be interpreted as an anthem for sexual liberation and exploration, with a focus on mutual satisfaction and pleasure. However, it can also be seen as objectifying and disrespectful toward women, treating them as objects to be used solely for sexual gratification.
