Westside Gunn Goes Bar for Bar With Doechii on Surprise ‘Egypt' Remix
Westside Gunn has dropped off a surprise remix of 'Egypt' featuring some fiery bars from Doechii. On Friday (May 2), Gunn unleashed the unexpected collaboration on the world, which made sense considering Doechii was technically on the original 'Egypt' — or at least, her voice was. In the version of the track that appeared on Westside Gunn's The Heels Have Eyes EP back in April, he sampled a snippet of Doechii's Apple Music interview with Ebro Darden. 'One hundred percent/ You know, recently I've been into a lot of MF DOOM (OK)/ Rest in peace (Yup)/ I've been into a lot of MF DOOM, um/ Westside Gunn (Mhm), love him, he's so talented (Super)/ So incredible,' she said to Darden in September.

'Westside Gunn just sampled me so pretty much kiss the blackest part of my a– and choke on a side ways d–k! He snapped omg,' she wrote on April 21 on X. The Swamp Princess also shared an Instagram Story of her listening to the sample on 'Egypt' and hollering and vibing out to the track once the beat drops. After dropping off the new version, which has Doechii spitting some serious heat around the 1:40 mark, the Griselda rapper continued to celebrate Doechii on X. 'I wanna Thank @officialdoechii for this Body Bag!!!!' he wrote. 'She's ALWAYS gave me my [flowers emoji] and I'm forever grateful and humble, u didn't have to bless me like this fresh from the Grammy win I REALLY [love heart emoji] this record it's so FUN!!!!'
