Lord Sko is one of the most exciting rising stars that's bringing back the old-school New York hip-hop style back and doing it right.

Lord Sko has the energy of a 90s hip-hop star even though he's just 20 years of age. He's like Joey Bada$$ and other artists in that vein that have been looking to successfully revive that aesthetic. Sko is definitely one of the best at this thanks to his luxurious production choices and nonchalant delivery. He's been steadily rising over the last two years thanks to his second LP UNITED PALACE back in 2023. PIFF is the first since then and this one definitely competes with his previous body of work. This tape focuses on the joys of smoking, his lifestyle, all while showing respect to the aforementioned production of the 90s decade.

The Washington Heights native had this to say about the meaning behind PIFF. "PIFF is a colorful exploration of the elevated mind. "Inspired by my many cannabis infused exploits as a young adult in New York City, PIFF is both very personal to my own experiences and designed to be relatable to the average stoner." That definitely shines through and with a lot of personality and well-structured songs. Lord Sko is also showing how much motion he's got with the vets and with his younger peers. Conway the Machine, Curren$y, and Grand Puba are some of the "old heads." Then, there's MAVI and POLO PERKS <3 <3 <3 to round out the cast. A special shout-out goes to Statik Selektah and Harry Fraud for producing a majority of the record at a high level. Spin PIFF below.

Zachary Horvath is one of the Music Freelance News Writers at HotNewHipHop and has held that title since August 2023. Prior to this position, he held another freelance gig covering local high school football, girls and boys varsity basketball, in addition to recapping Cleveland Cavaliers games remotely. He's taken the previous experience and used it to become a jack of all trades at HotNewHipHop. Zach has thoroughly enjoyed tackling some of the trending topics in sports, with a larger focus on hip-hop and pop culture. Some of those include Bronny James's draft stock, a multitude of angles swirling around the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef, as well as Diddy's arrest and lawsuits. Separate from the headlines that everyone wants to hear about, he was fortunate enough to help spread Zaytoven's current thoughts at the time around mid-December in 2023. Even though being able to give his expertise on these stories is fulfilling, being able to share his passion for releases trumps that ever so slightly. Having the chance to express his excitement indirectly about what he thinks our readers should be checking out/revisiting grows his passion for writing that much more.
