Becoming a major player in dancehall with debut single "Brick Pan Brick," Jamaican musician Skillibeng built an international audience in the early 2020s with his trap-focused approach to the genre. Encouraging hustling with its money-centric verses, the multi-million-streamed track found immediate success in Warmington's home country. From there, Skillibeng had a relentless release schedule, dropping 43 singles in 2020 along with his debut album The Prodigy, the album debuted on the US Current Reggae Albums Chart and peaked at number 16. Among the highlights were his second major hit, "Mr. Universe," the Quenga collaboration "Not," and his third smash hit, "Crocodile Teeth," which got a remix by Nicki Minaj. In 2021, Skillibeng continued the rapid release pattern with 38 more singles, second album The Prodigy: Ladies Only, and third album Crocodile Teeth LP. As well as hits like "Coke" and the "Crocodile Teeth [Remix]," the artist took promising new directions alongside collaborators including Sleepy Hallow ("2 Sauce [Remix]"), Unknown T ("Wollan"), and Popcaan/Rich the Kid ("Rocket Launcher.") ~ David Crone.
Warmington was also the winner of Best Caribbean Music Act at the Mobo Awards of 2022.

The first thing that stands out about Skillibeng's song Bad Everyday is the violent nature of the lyrics. The song is essentially a platform for the artist to boast about his violent tendencies, and how his gang, E-Syde, is feared and respected in their community. He talks about using various weapons, such as submachine guns and AKs, to "dismantle yuh face anywhere" and "trample dem head". Skillibeng also uses the song to address anyone who might doubt his credibility or challenge his gang, warning them that he will not hesitate to "chop off dem head" and "kill ah fucker now".
