Lord Sko, aka Josh Fersko, is a native of Manhattan's Washington
Heights. Already a veteran at just 20 years old, having dropped 2
full-length projects, the prodigious lyrical talent continues to
sharpen his sword on the upcoming PIFF, a sure-shot stoner classic.
The upcoming album finds the young rapper expanding his classic NYC
sound, with help from producers like Statik Selektah, Harry Fraud, A
Lau, and his right-hand man Arlo Walker.
Young Sko fell in love with rap music when he was still in middle
school. Back then, hip-hop was in the fondly- remembered blog era. Sko
(who refers to himself as "the rap Jeff Hardy") felt himself drawn to
the stoner side of blog rap, including Wiz Khalifa, Odd Future, Action
Bronson, and Curren$y, who would later become a collaborator. After
practicing his craft for two years, Sko decided at age 17 to share his
skill with the world, teaming up with then-16-year-old Arlo Walker to
create the 2022 album Museum. In 2023, Sko followed up that auspicious
debut with the even-more- polished United Palace, named after the
historic concert hall located in his uptown neighborhood.
With PIFF on deck this Spring, a collaboration with Statik Selektah in
the bag, and a forthcoming National tour this year, the future looks
bright for Lord Sko. Stay tuned for more.
