In a surprise collaboration that bridges generations and sounds, Westside Gunn and Doechii have dropped a remix of “Egypt” — and it’s already making waves across the hip-hop world. Blending Griselda grit with Doechii’s sharp lyrical flair, the track opens with a reflective clip from her interview with DJ Ebro, where she shouts out two of her biggest inspirations: the late MF DOOM and Gunn himself.
“Lately I’ve been into a lot of MF DOOM, rest in peace,” she says in the intro. “Westside Gunn — he’s so talented.” The stage is then set for a potent back-and-forth over a textured beat crafted by Cee Gee Incorporated, with both MCs trading vivid bars and unfiltered energy.
Doechii’s Bars Earn Gunn’s Respect
Shortly after the remix dropped, Westside Gunn took to social media to show love to the rising star. Fresh off her Grammy win, Doechii’s decision to hop on the remix was something Gunn didn’t take for granted.
“I wanna thank @officialdoechii for this Body Bag!!!!” he wrote. “She’s ALWAYS gave me my [flowers] and I’m forever grateful and humble. U didn’t have to bless me like this fresh from the Grammy win. I REALLY [love] this record—it’s so FUN!!!!”
The Buffalo rapper went on to praise her lyrical prowess and work ethic, revealing she recorded her verse just one day after hearing the track. “A true Emcee and she deserves everything she got,” Gunn added. “Let’s keep pushing ART & CULTURE and let’s push this to the masses!!!!!!!!”
“Egypt” Remix: A Blend of Legacy and Fresh Perspective
The original “Egypt” stands out as a meditative yet raw record from Westside Gunn’s deeply personal album 11, which dropped earlier this year. The project is a tribute to two close friends: Big Dump, who passed away in April, and Sly Green, currently serving a life sentence in prison.
“I do wanna say this—it’s hard for me to listen to it, I’ve cried every single time I’ve played it,” Gunn shared following the album’s release. “I made it all in one day just back to back after speaking to SLY from prison… this was from my heart.”
In a press release, he called 11 “the most personal project I’ve ever made,” describing it as “the reality for Westside Gunn.” That raw honesty and emotional weight flow into the “Egypt” remix, made all the more powerful by Doechii’s fearless presence.
A Win for Hip-Hop’s Evolution
Doechii’s feature on the “Egypt” remix is more than just a co-sign—it’s a clear sign of her growing influence as one of hip-hop’s most dynamic new voices. It also reaffirms Gunn’s role as both a curator and protector of culture, bridging the underground and mainstream while refusing to compromise on artistic integrity.
With the remix already generating buzz, and fans embracing its emotional depth and lyrical force, this collaboration is poised to stand as one of 2025’s most talked-about hip-hop moments.
