Lord Sko"Stubborn," The NYC Prodigy, Teams Up With His Producer Arlo Walker For A Stoner Anthem

Lord Sko is bringing back the golden age of hip-hop, putting a modern spin on the stoner classics that raised him. Today, the Washington Heights native shares, "Stubborn," his new single and music video.

Tapping his right-hand man Arlo Walker for the production, Sko shows off his lyrical prowess, spitting about having wisdom beyond his years and living life without worries.

The Background:

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 forthcoming 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-polished United Palace, named after the historic concert hall located in his uptown neighborhood.

With PIFF on deck, a collaboration with Statik Selektah in the bag, and a forthcoming National tour in 2025, the future looks bright for Lord Sko. Stay tuned for more.
