Duppy Conqueror


In this song he says and speaks of being a duppy conqueror. The duppy is what they believe an evil spirit. What he and his band did in Jamaica before they had ever performed in front of an audience was perform in a cemetery, they thought that if they could perform in front of the duppy they couldn't fear performing in front of anyone else. Therefore, they were duppy conqueror's.
