"Rap Freaks" is a song by American rapper Yung Miami, released on October 29, 2021. It was produced by Don D and King Wizard.
Background
[edit | edit source]In an interview with Billboard, Yung Miami stated the song is "showing love to all the rappers right now, it's nothing personal. I [named] a bunch of the guys who are on top, that's hot, that's poppin'. Nothing is personal, nothing is literal, I'm just having fun." According to her, she was inspired to write the song by a legacy of rappers creating sexually suggestive tracks with name-dropping. She additionally said of "Rap Freaks", "I've been thinking long and hard on it. I hope everyone just takes it as a song. I feel like I'm not being disrespectful to nobody or dissing nobody. It's just a fun song I wanted to do and recreate what some of the legends did before me. I'm just being an artist."[1]
