Late last month, Memphis Tennessee talent Z-Dougie took on hometown heroes Three 6 Mafia and their turn of the century track, "Who Run It." Bringing his so-called "ghetto shenanigans" style to the already hard hip-hop instrumental, Z-Dougie's new drops take the now 21-year-old track from krunk to killer. While he takes a moment to bring the beat up to a boil, keeping much of the original intensity intact for the first minute, Dougie does indeed flip the script with a pair of seizure-inducing drops rife with bone-breaking bass, odious effects and guttural growls. The putrescent power of these drops is undeniable, even though we've no evidence of their exploits in a club setting. That said, it takes almost no imagination at all to picture a crowd crippled by screw-faces when these two hit them. Even without the majority of the track's intimidating lyrical content, Z-Dougie manages to maintain the menacing quality of this Memphis anthem. Instead, Z-Dougie makes good on the Mafia's mission to be more than just words, showing he's not "afraid to pop the steel." And pop off Z-Dougie does with this filthy and ferocious flip, which you can cop for free, as a birthday present to himself, via Hypeddit here.
