Skillibeng Lines Up Collabs With Lil Baby, Bobby Shmurda
Dancehall star Skillibeng has reportedly lined up more international collaborations, this time with American rappers Lil Baby and Bobby Shmurda.
Shmurda, whose father is Jamaican, appears set to deliver a second official remix of Skillibeng’s crossover hit Crocodile Teeth, after Nicki Minaj’s version was released on May 14 and later entered the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 100.
The recently freed rapper shared a snippet of the upcoming track that promises to be another ballistic affair.
“Unnu nuh fi shiesty/ First ting unnu nuh hard like me/ me nuh call no man, mi ah god, from I peep/ everything get shot when I squeeze,” he raps in an Instagram clip re-shared by one of Crocodile Teeth‘s producers earlier this week.
Woah rapper Lil Baby and the Mr. Universe deejay are also reportedly working on a new collaboration after a photo surfaced today of the two entertainers on a video call along with Claims Records producer/CEO Gutty Bling.
ZipFM reached out to Gutty Bling, who confirmed that the two artists were in fact discussing a collaboration on the call. The radio station said they were told that Skillibeng’s verse was already done, while Lil Baby received his verse and loves it.
Lil Baby just released a collaborative album The Voice of The Heroes with fellow rapper, Lil Durk today.
It seems Skilli and Lil Baby have been in talks about the upcoming project for some time now. Just last month, Lil Baby posted a clip from another Skillibeng hit, Coke, on his IG stories and was sure to tag the Brik Pon Brik artist in the post.
Similarly, in early April, Bobby Shmurda showed Skillibeng some love on IG as he was vibing to one of the St. Thomas native’s latest Trap Dancehall/Hip Hop fusion tracks — 2Gyal.
The EastSyde Records deejay has become Dancehall’s hottest commodity for collabs with international stars. Prior to Nicki Minaj jumping on the Crocodile Teeth remix, Skillibeng teamed up with rappers Rich The Kid and Jay Critch on Real Boss, and shot the music video in Port Antonio, Jamaica in April.
The month before, he dropped Blow Up, with Ghanaian artist Shatta Wale.
He also appeared with rapper Young M.A on the track Money Counter in April, which was co-produced by Claims Records.
