Før August Alsinas gennembrudsalbum "Testimony" (omtalt i uge 7) udkom denne ep med den amerikanske r&b-sanger. På 8 numre er "Downtown..." med til definere August Alsinas lyd. Om nogen lyder han her som den nye Usher eller Trey Songz. Det handler mestendels om mad, sex og drinks - behov man ikke skal undervurdere, men for dem der ikke er hardcore fans, er der mere at komme efter på den reelle debut.

"Although he now has as much arrogance as anyone else on contemporary R&B radio, his lingering pain remains, punctuated by a handful of between-song monologues that are all the more chilling for being expressed in a matter-of-fact tone. The gritty realism in ballads like "Hell on Earth" and "Nobody Knows" hints at future greatness. He's singing about his life, not romanticizing it".
