Korean rapper Keith Ape just scored a high-octane "It G Ma" remix from A$AP Ferg, Waka Flocka Flame, Father and Korean-American rapper Dumbfounded. The new remix comes with a wild accompanying video.

Keith Ape dropped “It G Ma,” featuring fellow rappers from his Underwater Squad, last year. The single immediately drew comparisons to OG Maco’s “U Guessed It."

In an interview earlier this year, Maco said he hates the song and thinks it’s guilty of racism and cultural appropriation. In any case, the song, video (which currently has almost 10 million YouTube views) and the Underwater Squad have began a movement of Korean rap that's heavily influenced by Atlanta trap music.

Waka Flocka and Father, who, like Maco, both hail from Atlanta, seem to rock with Keith Ape. As do Harlem's A$AP Ferg and Dumbfounded, from Koreatown in L.A..

Those four rappers, and Keith Ape, all show up in the manic VHS-style video that dropped with the remix. The video has them way turnt-up, mobbing through Korean bodegas, warehouse basements and green-screened exploding cities. Edited in between the aggressive back-and-forth verses are old Nintendo graphics, the hologrammed face of the BAPE monkey and trauma-inducing flickering lights.

Waka goes first, followed by Dumbfounded, Keith, Father and Ferg, respectively.

Here’s the original version.

The track and video are released via Skrillex'OWSLA label and Keith Ape's CXSHXNLY. We don't know Skrillex got his hands on the release, but he's toured with A$AP Ferg in the past.

Can Korean rap take off in the U.S.A.?
