From the moment Skeng broke into the dancehall space in 2021, he showed no signs of slowing down.
While the demanding dancehall industry requires consistency, the Spanish Town native demonstrates it from his breakout singles, 'Brrp' to 'Gvnman Shift,' as he continues to deliver viral hits time after time.
Skeng is building his international reputation, especially after being adored by American Rapper Nicki Minaj, who swears by his undeniable energy. The pair recently won a prestigious 'Collaboration Of The Year' award for the 'Likkle Miss Remix' at the inaugural Caribbean Music Awards.
According to speculations, another collaboration is just a matter of time, slated to be featured on her much-anticipated 'Pink Friday 2' album.
The 22-year-old Deejay released several mesmerizing singles this year that captivated the audience, including "Smoot Wid It" (which garnered 6.5 million views), 'Shalalala,' on the popular Big Bunx collection, which also amassed a significant number of views on YouTube, as well as 'Seh Feh' (Featuring Jah Vinci), 'Fever,' and more. He recently enriched his catalog with a mesmerizing collaboration, 'Loyal Gyal,' featuring dancehall star Valiant.
The deejay had a very busy schedule this year, with shows in Canada, the entire Caribbean, Paris (a visit that also inspired a viral single), and a recent short tour in the UK, performing in front of a fully packed arena.
