Tru Faith & Dub Conspiracy was a collaboration between two UK garage groups, Tru Faith (consisting of members George D, Maxim Elmalki & Nial Montgomery), and Dub Conspiracy (Andrew Hunter & Ian McKenzie). They are best known for their sole UK chart hit single, a cover of the Adina Howard song "Freak like Me", with British singer Imaani on vocals. Their version reached No. 12 on the UK Singles Chart in September 2000, and spent 5 weeks on the chart,[1] as well as reaching number one on the UK Dance Singles Chart.[2]

Tru Faith & Dub Conspiracy initially released a remix of Adina Howard's "Freak like Me" titled "Freek Me" on About 2 Records, backed with a remix of Beenie Man and Chevelle Franklyn's "Dancehall Queen".[3] Both tracks were later officially released as cover versions on the Positiva and Incentive labels respectively, with vocals by Imaani on "Freak like Me" and by Shèna and Tittla[4] on "Dynamite (Dancehall Queen)" (released under artist name Dinamyte[5]). A set of remixes of "Dancehall Queen" by BM Dubs was also released.[6]
