Tup Dugg: Raw Truths from the Streets to the World Stage

About Me


 


My name is Tsk, known on the mic as Tup Dugg. Hailing from Port Harcourt, Nigeria, music has always been my escape and purpose. I'm obsessed with the craft, striving to create music that moves people and speaks truths. Now based in India, I've sharpened my sound, blending hard rap, trap soul, and Afro-urban bounce, delivering every line with raw purpose.


 


Musical Journey


 


My musical journey started in school, initially to gain confidence among peers. I've been making music since then, evolving from wanting to "be cool" to developing a deep passion for Rap. Now based in India, I've honed my craft, studying flows and production, and pushing my pen game to new levels, reflecting my versatile and global sound.


 


Signature Style


 


My style is raw, gritty, and straight from the trenches. I tell the truth through my music, drawing from real-life experiences of pain to power. My bold delivery and street-coded flow combine heavy rap energy with Afro-urban bounce. I don’t sugarcoat or play roles—what you hear is the unfiltered, unapologetic, real Dugg sound.


 


Notable Achievements


 


One of my proudest moments was releasing my debut EP, "Dugg Business," which stamped my name in the underground scene with versatile tracks like "Off Am," "Dugg Freestyle," and "Bonjour." I also dropped impactful singles like “Locked In,” which represents my current focus and control. From gaining streams and building a fanbase from Nigeria to India, I've made my mark as an independent artist with a global mindset, performing for diverse audiences and collaborating across borders while staying true to my voice.


 


Existing Projects







    • Singles: "Locked In," "Off Am"



 




    • EP – Dugg Business: "Off Am," "Dugg Freestyle," "Roller Chick," "Bonjour," "Tz Love"






Future Plans for My Brand


 


I’m building a brand and a movement. My plans include consistent single drops with strong visuals, releasing a second EP or mixtape, collaborating with artists in Nigeria, India, and the UK, developing a full visual identity, performing at live shows, launching Dugg Season merchandise, building a community of supporters, and sharing behind-the-scenes content. Eventually, I aim to launch a platform to support other raw talents.


 


Influences and Inspirations


 


My artistic influences are a mix of grit, melody, and storytelling. I grew up listening to Lil Wayne, Burna Boy, Drake, Skepta, and Odumodublack, who taught me to own my sound and speak my truth. Their energy, pen game, and confidence shaped my approach, though my delivery remains original—my story is uniquely mine.


 


Discography


 


I’m Tup Dugg, and my music reflects everything I’ve seen and survived, documenting the hustle, pain, wins, and reality of my life. Every track is a chapter:







    • “Locked In” (2025): My latest single, representing focus, discipline, and tunnel vision—real talk over a cold beat.



 




    • “Off Am” (2025): A raw, aggressive track born from a darker place, pure expression without filters.



 




    • “Dugg Business” EP (2025): My debut statement, featuring 5 tracks ("Off Am," "Dugg Freestyle," "Roller Chick," "Bonjour," "Tz Love") that showcase different sides of my mindset.






This is just the beginning of Dugg Season.


 


Upcoming Projects


 


I have amazing projects coming, including an EP slated for August (name TBD) with three tracks, and my first Afrobeat single titled “Amaka.” I have a lot in store for you all!
