Dey Know
"Dey Know" (sometimes called "They Know") is the first single from Shawty Lo's debut solo album, Units in the City. The track was produced by Balist ("Ballistic) Beats, and samples "Mandrill's "Children of the Sun".
Remixes
There is an official remix, the Dirty South Remix, featuring Ludacris, Young Jeezy, Plies, & Lil' Wayne. The second official remix features Young Jeezy, E-40, Plies, & Gorilla Zoe. The first remix is notable for having Lil Wayne rap through an auto-tune, which alters one's voice and makes it sound synthesized. This technique was made popular in hip-hop and R&B by T-Pain, and was used in many of Wayne's verses and songs from 2008 and 2009, this being one of the first. There is also an NY Remix with Maino, Lil' Kim & Busta Rhymes. Camp 22, Rasheeda, Buckeey and Crime Mob appeared in the video.
Also, Memphis rapper Yo Gotti has a remix to the song on his Cocaine Muzik mixtape.
Rick Ross, Young Jeezy, Paul Wall, Papoose and Bun B have also made separate freestyles
Kardinal Offishall & Rock City also have a version.
