A Chinese trap song about dumplings is perhaps not a combination of words you thought you would come across today, but let me assure you, it’s exactly what you need. “Bag That Bao” is an irresistibly catchy new track by Nitemrkt, a music group with roots in Beijing and Los Angeles that describes its musical genre as “laserwave 808 asian trap futurism.”

“Bag that bao,” or “包一包” in Chinese, is a spin on “let’s get this bread,” along the same lines as “yeet this wheat,” “obtain this grain,” and other carb-related euphemisms for earning money. Fittingly, the song’s lyrics — delivered in nearly equal parts English and Mandarin — use bao as both imagery and metaphor for staying on the grind, accumulating wealth, moving on up in the world. Bao is what they eat, but it’s also what slews of Chinese immigrants have built their livelihoods on, washing dishes and cooking in restaurants. It’s a song, in Nitemrkt’s words, “saluting the culture, confidence, and hustle”:

I’m steaming the bao then I’m baggin’ it I might pop up at your residence, yeah Rockin’ Off-White on my a-p-ron We do delivery caterin’ ...bring it right to you Skin so thin I can see right through you At the night market, burnin’ midnight oil Slap so hot it came wrapped in foil Pull up / Lambo / trunk like / Dumbo Hot pot / water / look like / gumbo Used to / struggle / now we only order combo

The music video sticks to similar themes, translating bao-as-object and bao-as-symbolism into a “heist film” about getting away with Louis Vuitton-embossed bags filled with bao. There are shengjian bao, barbecue pork-stuffed steamed bao, thin-skinned soup dumplings, carb cousins like sesame balls and sweet breads. It’s an earworm of a track, thumping with a strong bass, but also a craving-inducing visual feast that nods at the pleasure of stuffing one’s face in Chinatown, reveling in a bounty that tastes of home.
