42 Dugg & EST Gee Team For New Joint Project ‘Last Ones Left’
Last Ones Left, a collaboration project between 42 Dugg and EST Gee, is now available. The new release has cameos by BIG30, Tae Money, Reaper, as well as upcoming artists from both labels, including 42 Cheez, EST Zo, EST Red, and EST DeMike.
There are multiple collaborations between Dugg and Gee on the album, as well as solo tracks from both heavyweight and new music from the musicians in either camp.

EST Gee And 42 Dugg Warn Their Foes Not To Push Their Luck On ‘Thump Sh*t’
Last Ones Left, the joint project from CMG signees EST Gee and 42 Dugg, is out today, and the two Midwestern street rappers keep their momentum going with a new video for “Thump Sh*t.” Directed by Diesel Filmz, the video captures the frenetic, relentless energy of the track, which itself is a microcosm of the propulsive vibe on the album. The two rappers display their signature chemistry trading boasts and jabs as they warn foes not to push their luck, lest they get, well, thumped.
Dugg and Gee’s partnership has proven to be particularly prolific ever since they first paired up on EST Gee’s “5500 Degrees” along with Lil Baby and Rylo Rodriguez. Since then, they’ve repeatedly reunited to match wits on tracks like Dugg’s “Rose Gold” and CMG captain Yo Gotti’s “Cold Gangsta” before they were officially matched up to bang out their joint project.
After announcing the project at CMG’s press conference in February, they actually pushed it back to provide a longer runway for singles “Free The Shiners” and “Everybody Shooters Too” to gain traction. Now that the album’s out, don’t expect them to slow down anytime soon.

EST Gee Says He’s ‘Ready’ To Drop A Joint Project With Jack Harlow: ‘It’s Time Now’
Jack Harlow and EST Gee have maintained a solid relationship as they’ve both managed to carve out their own spaces in the mainstream rap world. Both acts hail from Lousiville, Kentucky and they’ve worked together on multiple occasions over the years. Their last collaboration was “The Department” from Gee’s 2021 mixtape I Still Don’t Feel Nun while their other records together include “Rotten” and “Route 66” from Harlow’s 2019 mixtape Confetti and his 2020 debut album That’s What They All Say respectively. During an upcoming interview with Apple Music, Gee spoke about his relationship with Harlow and teased more music from them in the future.
“That’s my guy, Jack. He really played a big part in my career, I feel like,” Gee said. “He just believed in me, you know what I’m saying? Like when people ain’t get it…I wasn’t around the right part of the industry yet. So like, I can’t go, I couldn’t go Jack’s way. But he tried to take me his way.” He continued, “So I love Jack, exactly. Jack’s the GOAT, the coldest. They see Jack, they can’t f*ck with Jack. They know they can’t f*ck with Jack, and Jack know they can’t f*ck with me. So we straight.”
Gee added, “He got a lot of songs he ain’t put out that’s cold. Jack could drop a tape with me and him. He is. I had to get my stuff together, but it’s time now. So it don’t look like he’s just doing his boy a favor. I’m ready now.”
Harlow is just a few weeks away from dropping his sophomore album Come Home The Kids Miss You. Gee on the other hand will drop Last Ones Left, his joint tape with 42 Dugg, in a few hours.

EST Gee And 42 Dugg’s Chemistry Is Impenetrable In Their Focused Video For ‘Everybody Shooters Too’
Over the last year or so EST Gee and 42 Dugg have grown to be two of rap’s newest and most promising names. Gee’s Bigger Than Life Or Death and Dugg’s Free Dem Boyz projects, which both arrived last year, helped to give them a strong boost in their respective careers. They’ve also collaborated on several occasions on tracks like “5500 Degrees” and “Rose Gold,” and it’s most likely a result of them both being signed to Yo Gotti’s Collective Music Group imprint. That connection aled to last month’s announcement of a joint album between Gee and Dugg, which is set to arrive sooner or later.
The rappers initially said their project, titled Last Ones Left, would touch down on February 18, but that day came and went without the project. However, the duo didn’t leave their fans high and dry and an example of that comes with their latest song, “Everybody Shooters Too.” The new track arrives with a focused video that captures Gee and Dugg rapping beside their crew as they flex their diamonds, cars, and high-end clothing.
The new song and video arrive after Gee and Dugg dropped off “Free The Shiners” to kick off the campaign for Last Ones Left.
You can watch the video for “Everybody Shooters Too” above.
