Bumping, hard-hitting, and distinctively old school, Lord Sko’s boom bap gangster rap thematic anthem ‘Jumpshot’ is a masterclass in flow, delivery and hot topic bars. The backing instrumental serves as a storytelling backdrop, the kind of cinematic string driven arrangement that lets you focus on the story being narrated before you. Lord Sko doesn’t skip a beat, a delectable interplay of flow switches with a constant delivery of one liners that constantly make you rewind and replay the wisdom behind the wordplay. He’s got a fiery energy to the delivery, but somehow still doing so in a laidback enough fashion to give it a swagger in the feeling.
Old school rap repackaged and delivered for today. A fadeaway jumpshot to remember.
