New York rapper Lord Sko has shared a new single, titled “Yellow Tape”. The Washington Heights native has positioned himself as the true-school hip-hop revivalist that every hip-hop head should have on their radar. A student of the genre’s rich culture, his innate storytelling abilities and smooth flow creates a sound that is both nostalgic and refreshing. After the release of his well-received album MUSEUM, which featured MARCO PLUS, Wiseboy Jeremy, and more, Sko returns with a lush, stylish track in “Yellow Tape” that recalls the charm of 90’s East Coast hip-hop with a modern twist- while putting his lyrical abilities on full display.
The laid-back, summery grooves of “Yellow Tape” give it a carefree swagger, bolstered by Sko’s charismatic, silky flows. Gritty but lush, “Yellow Tape” captures the classic appeal of NYC hip-hop while keeping its sound rooted firmly in 2023.
“Yellow Tape” gives us more reason to be excited about what Sko has in store this year, as he continues to rise out of NYC’s fertile scene. Give “Yellow Tape” a listen below.
