"Throw Some D's" is a song by American rapper Rich Boy, released by Zone 4 and Interscope Records on August 15, 2006 as the lead single from his self-titled debut studio album (2006). The song was produced by Butta and co-produced by Zone 4 label head Polow da Don, who co-wrote and guest appears on the song. Its production samples the 1979 song "I Call Your Name" by R&B group Switch, which is mainly heard in the song's intro.

"Throw Some D's" peaked at number six on the Billboard Hot 100 and received platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It has yielded the furthest commercial success for both Rich Boy and Polow da Don, becoming both artists' only entry on the chart as performers.[1] The song ranked number 37 on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Best Songs of 2007.[2]
