With his latest mixtape Memphis Massacre 2, Memphis upstart Duke Deuce closes the circle between himself and the previous generation of iconic Memphis rappers. On the record’s remix of “Crunk Ain’t Dead,” Deuce’s breakout single, he links up with Three 6 Mafia legends Juicy J and Project Pat for a riotous, glorious posse cut. And elsewhere, the Quality Control signee establishes himself as a lithe, adaptable figure who rarely loses focus of his own idiosyncratic identity. True to that spirit, Duke Deuce’s FADER top five video, in which he counts down his top five occasions to gangsta walk, is chaotic and hilarious, perfectly in-tune with the ethos of Memphis Massacre 2; from the clip’s opening seconds, in which Deuce takes a swig of cognac, it’s an instantly memorable five minutes. Watch Duke Deuce’s FADER top five above.
