Th-th Freshness: Santi x 36 = Durrrty, we go hard.

Doughy New England boy though I may be, I fucking love Three 6 Mafia. I do. They're the closest thing hip hop has to Bauhaus, and alongside Bone Thug, have carved out a spiffy niche of consistently danceable goth-rap. (Sidebar: Sucks for Bizzy.) Profound music? Of course not. But Three 6's spooky and admittedly immature world calls to mind Autumn nights of tussin, cloves, and Call of Cthulhu in the best way possible.

If you were one of those bewailing M.I.A. being relegated to hook girl status on this fall's "Swagga Like Us", I implore you to give a listen to DJ Paul and Juicy J's take on Santi's contribution to Jay Z's "Brooklyn (Go Hard)". In laying their Castlevania synths (and a solid Project Pat verse) over a Philly girl's love song to the jerk borough, a Tennessee crew somehow reassures us all that when the zombies take BK- and they will- at least you've already got your soundtrack in tow.
