SK8STAR DROPS NEW VIDEO SINGLE "QUAGOO"
Fresh off a sold-out headlining show at Avondale Music Hall in Chicago, new-gen Atlanta rapper Sk8star has just shared his highly anticipated new single, "Quagoo" –– out now, alongside an accompanying music video. First previewed on PlaqueBoyMax's Song Wars stream and receiving a 10/10 rating from heavyweight producer Southside, "Quagoo" is an extension of the punk-rap sound established on Sk8star's breakthrough February mixtape Designer Junkie (7.2 from Pitchfork).
The accompanying video, directed by Darko, is a dark, tasteful visual that accompanies his distinct sound. Executive produced by legendary ATL hitmaker Richie Souf (Playboi Carti's "JumpOutTheHouse", Gunna's "Top Off"), the release of Designer Junkie quickly pushed Sk8star past 2 million weekly streams, while also fuelling sold-out release shows in both New York and Atlanta.
Designer Junkie captured Sk8star's signature ethos of chaotic elegance by drawing influence from Punk-Rock legends like The Sex Pistols and Vivienne Westwood as much as soul-bearing Southern rappers like Future and Young Thug –– the latter of whom Sk8star now counts as a co-sign and supporter. After a breakout year in 2025 with the release of notable singles and collaborations like "ShawtyRokk" (feat. LilGotit), "2 Sexy" (which received praise from The FADER for its "falsetto flows" and "melodic instincts") as well as his fifth project, PALE FEVER, the new release of Designer Junkie puts an exclamation mark on Sk8star's climb up the modern rap landscape.
The 23-year-old Macon, Georgia native has grown into one of rap's most exciting prospects, earning the co-signs of fellow notable peers such as Young Thug, PlaqueBoyMax, and Lil Gotit. His impressive outputs began dropping at the start of the decade in 2020, with the inevitable elevation steadily following ever since.
2023's Whole New Meaning EP saw Sk8star's initial recognition flourish, followed by the consistent growth that came alongside his next 3 projects, Rebel in the Room, REBELUTION, and most recently, PALE FEVER. Atlanta's prominent new age star continues to rise amongst his peers, looking to continue his expansion outside of the underground and into the national spotlight.
