Layin' da Smack Down is the third solo studio album by American rapper Project Pat. It was released on August 6, 2002, via Hypnotize Minds/Loud/Columbia Records. Recorded at Hypnotized Minds Studio in Memphis, it was produced by DJ Paul and Juicy J. It features a sole guest appearance from Juvenile and cameos by Hypnotize Camp Posse members. The album marks the final Hypnotize Minds album to be released through Loud Records, as Loud was sold off to Sony around the time of Project Pat's album release. Due to the rapper's incarceration at the time, promotion for the album was very limited. However, it debuted at number 12 on the Billboard 200 with over 70,000 copies sold in its first week of release in the US. There were two singles released from the album: "Back Clap" and "Choose U"/"County Jail". An accompanying music video was filmed for "Make Dat Azz Clap". In January 2024, the clean version of the track "Choose U" reached number 5 on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 chart.
