There is no doubt Dancehall new-gen titan; Skillibeng is fired up about someone or something. In another brawling gun tune, entitled Who, he dishes a relentless series of threats with his masterful lyrical traphall style that only he does best.

The new single was released yesterday, the same day his adversary’s counteraction track, Pull Up dropped. Now what is looking like an official feud between Skilli and his rival, Intence, we find the unfolding of a scorching revolutionized Dancehall war.

This would be the fourth round of what fans are calling subliminal diss tracks exchanged by the two deejays in the last few weeks. Going back to Intence’s September release Grimey, a tuneful play on Def Loaf’s 2014 hit Try Me, he talks about “Di AK ah play in a sm’bady body.” Skillibeng returned with his vicious Crocodile Teeth, to find him strapped and loaded with croc-teeth looking ammo clips and baiting his enemy: “Say you bad, pu**sy run up and see … shot ricochet people face.”

Then came Top Ranking/Bad Man Thing on October 16, allegedly aimed at the YengBadness deejay, who returned with Nuh Talk Long on the same day for round 2. An anxious, trigger-happy Intence arrived on the scene with Gun Eediat last week to ruffle Skilli’s feathers, moving him to unleash Bad Every Day on October 21.

Now here we are at the end of the first quarter and in his attempt of a huge comeback, Intence’s music video for Pull Up, the Skillibeng counteraction, may have literally been ‘pulled’ for breaches of the Jamaican Defence Force (JDF) digital combat uniform (DCU) regulations since the artiste was fully decked out in their military attire for his lyrical showdown. This has left a hindered audio release but with a little more kick.

Still avoiding to name an opponent, Intence however discloses an image, as he talks about lacing bullets in a ‘cane-row headed’ victim, which pretty much points a direct finger on the ever plaited, EastSyde Records prodigy. Not one to let threats fly without consequences, Skillibeng rhetorically asks Intence “Who” exactly is “badder dan me?” now in his latest track.

Cleverly resolving the big topic on the table, the Brik Pan Brik deejay unbridles his savage skillset as if finessing an assassin’s resumé. “Who badder dan mi? Me murder you faster dan the butcher weh assault pig, boy haffi drop and spin. Rifle a claat, EastSyde neva shot and miss. Born haunted, shot in a yuh heart pass diss…anyweh yuh rasscla*t live, send yuh marrow in a di air, send yuh parts pon fridge.”

In more out-of-this-world lyrics, Skilli examples his attacks further, “Diss Beng then you not going live, skin a peel and is not orange. If yuh know what a collage is, a suh shot mark him,” he says, leaving the fans to compare him to wickedest lyricist of them all.

“You’s a next version a the world boss💯💯 lyrically sick. Gaza me seh but respect you music💯💯💯,” Fitzroy Morris commented on YouTube comparing him to Vybz Kartel.

Clearly siding with the EastSyde camp, others chimed in on the current beef with Intence. “Mi just want unuh guh listen intense song an tell mi if him lyrics dem a flow suh wicked, a E-syde mi thing deh ute yuhz👀.” Then another added, “Skillibeng a lead them, them lost already 😂.”

In the music video, Skillibeng puffs-up his boss man image, donning a tuxedo with flaying bow tie as he unleashes his rhymes in a lofty executive office. Portraits of his targets hang in the backdrop with their locations identified; all this while a kidnapping is taking place. In other scenes, the deejay shows off his daredevil abilities, stunt riding and drifting donuts at a distant dirt quarry on his ATV in effortless form.
