Old Cash Dawgs, more popularly known by the shortened term O.C. Dawgs, is a Filipino hip hop trio consisting of Skusta Clee, Bullet D, and Jnske that was formed in 2012.[1] The collective is known for their numerous hit singles "Pauwi Nako", "Akala Ko Nung Una", "Kriminal",[2] and "Hayaan Mo Sila",[3] the collaborative trap track with Ex Battalion in 2017 that almost topped the now-defunct Billboard Philippines Top 20 chart.
History and career[edit]
Old Cash Dawgs was formed and founded in 2012 by Skusta Clee, who mostly writes the song hooks, followed by Bullet D and Jnske. Skusta Clee, the lead member of O.C. Dawgs, pioneered the Pinoy trap genre, which helped launch the country's mainstream trap movement. Despite being underground at first, O.C. Dawgs dominated Musical.ly in 2016 with the release of "Kriminal", the same year the group joined Ex Battalion.[1]
O.C. Dawgs have seen phenomenal success with "Pauwi Nako", which was released in 2018 under the Panty Droppaz League music label, and has amassed millions of streams on both Spotify and YouTube platforms.[4][5][6]
Controversies[edit]
Plagiarism[edit]
Ex Battalion members Skusta Clee and Flow G have been accused of plagiarism for releasing a promotional track entitled "Deym" identical to "Ddaeng" by BTS in September 2020. The contentious piece sparked heated debate, making #SkustaCleeisGoingtoJailParty a trending topic on Philippine Twitter.[7] A few weeks later, the group's management denied allegations claiming that the two pieces are 'inherently different' and that they used a generic triplet flow. The management also added that "parallel thinking among artists do happen and it cannot be avoided".[8]
