About “Duppy Freestyle”
“Duppy Freestyle” takes shots at G.O.O.D Music artists Pusha T and Kanye West. The word “duppy” is Jamaican patois for “ghost.” Kanye is set to release an album with Kid Cudi on June 8th titled Kids See Ghosts.
The song was released the same day as Pusha T’s DAYTONA—in response to his track “Infrared,” which brought up Drake’s alleged ghostwriter Quentin Miller:
It was written like Nas but it came from Quentin
Skepta made the original “Duppy Freestyle” when he dissed fellow U.K grime artist Megaman in 2006.
The track is produced by long-time faithful Boi-1da and first-time collaborator Jahaan Sweet, as confirmed by the latter in a tweet.
