While in London, Drake performed a freestyle on the British rap platform Link Up TV – his first media freestyle since his 2009 Hot 97 Freestyle. It was released a week after his record-setting fifth studio album Scorpion.

Drake teased the release of this freestyle on his Instagram story prior to the release of the album:

On September 14th, 2019, the freestyle was released everywhere on streaming services with the arrival of Netflix’s Top Boy, in which Drake is an executive producer.
