"Back to the Crib" is a song by American rapper Juelz Santana, intended as the second single for his unreleased third album Born to Lose, Built to Win.[1] It features American singer-songwriter Chris Brown, marking their second collaboration following the latter's debut single "Run It!" in 2005. The song was produced by Polow Da Don.[2]
After Chris Brown's publicised abuse case with singer Rihanna, Def Jam president L.A. Reid wanted Trey Songz to perform the chorus instead of Brown; however, Juelz Santana stuck with keeping Brown's vocals for its final release.[3]
The music video directed by Clifton Bell was released December 14, 2009. Trav, Red Cafe, Tony Yayo, Lloyd Banks, DJ Envy, and Jim Jones appeared in the video. Popular models including his future wife Kimbella Vanderhee and Rosa Acosta also made appearances in the video.
