In Zukkoke Otokomichi, they translate things like 中ってこうぜ as "Let's ~" Why does
こうぜ mean let's? Is it just slang, or does it come from 行こう, just dropping the
行？

question
translation slang song-lyrics
「～てこうぜ」は何という意味ですか？
こうぜ is just how いこうぜ gets pronounced in lively "tough guy" kind of speech. It
is used in group activities such as sports where a team effort is essential.

Te-form of a verb + （い）こうぜ！ = "Let's all (verb), guys!"
