"Lock 'Em In Da Trunk" is a 1993 underground Memphis classic by DJ Zirk that helped define the city's signature dark, bass-heavy sound. Featuring aggressive verses from Kingpin Skinny Pimp, the track became a local anthem known for its eerie atmosphere and "trunk-rattling" 808 production. Despite once being banned from the radio for its controversial lyrics, it remains a foundational influence on Southern hip-hop and is one of the most sampled songs in the genre.
