    "Are U Still Down" is a song co-written[3] and performed by American contemporary R&B singer Jon B, issued as a single from his second studio album Cool Relax. It was commissioned as a double single with "They Don't Know" in some markets, including the United States.[5][1] The song features a rap by American hip hop musician 2Pac; and it was the final rap verse that 2Pac recorded before his death.[6]

    "Are U Still Down" was produced by Johnny J.[7] In 2004, as a way of honoring Tupac, Jon B. recorded "Are U Still Down, Part 2" with the original producer. Johnny J also had plans to release unreleased Tupac records. In the song, Tupac's lyrics are sampled from his song "Happy Home" [8] which was a part of his fourth posthumous album (seventh studio album overall) Until the End of Time, released on March 27, 2001.

    "Are U Still Down" peaked at number 29 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number two on the R&B chart in 1998.[9][10]
