Skeng (Kevon Douglas) is a Jamaican dancehall deejay from Spanish Town/St Catherine whose 2021 single 'Gvnman Shift' and the Tommy Lee Sparta combination 'Protocol' established him within a hard-edged, trap-influenced dancehall style; the 2022 remix of 'Likkle Miss' with Nicki Minaj extended his reach internationally.
