A wave of introspection runs through “Slow Down,” a track where M.I. Abaga leans into vulnerability. The song explores the tension between ambition and emotional fatigue, that moment when life’s pace becomes overwhelming, and slowing down feels like the only way to breathe again.
A lot of the magic in the song comes from the hook, handled by the mysterious “Julius Caesar.” His voice is smooth, haunting, and instantly memorable, the kind that sits in your mind long after the track ends. Because there’s no real artist with that name, fans have spent years guessing who he might be. M.I. himself teased the mystery in 2017 by reacting to a fan who brought it up, and that single moment kept the speculation alive.

[Prelude: Julius Ceaser]
Hey, eh

Slow it down girl, why ya run things?
The way you whine that thing make me want you
Let me upgrade you, let me brand you

[Chorus: Julius Ceasar]
I like the way she put it down on me

[Post-Chorus: Julius Ceasar]
She look like she’s a super model
Cover of a fashion magazine

She remind me of nights in Paris
She know she the finest girl I've seen
She look like a queen and she knows
[Verse 2: M.I Abaga]
