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 song "My Gun" by Skillibeng appears to glorify violence and aggression. The lyrics describe the singer's willingness to use his firearm to kill people, with lines such as "Kill man fi fun" and "Demand yuh soul". He boasts about his firepower, boasting about having an M16 and a "Philippines" (presumably a type of gun) at his disposal. The lyrics also suggest that Skillibeng is associated with a gang or group called EastSyde nation, which he declares is not to be messed with. In addition, the song repeatedly emphasizes the importance of not leaving his gun behind, suggesting a constant readiness for violence.
The lyrics of "My Gun" reflect a larger cultural trend in Jamaican music in which guns and violence are frequently glorified. Such lyrics are often criticized for perpetuating harmful attitudes towards violence and weapons, especially in a country where gun crime is a significant problem. Critics argue that songs like "My Gun" contribute to a culture of fear and aggression, promoting a cycle of gun violence that harms communities.
