SK8STAR SHARES “PETER PUSHER” SINGLE

LISTEN

THE BEAUTIFUL REBELLION EP – OUT NOW

LISTEN

“[Sk8star] tightens his wild experimentation on [Designer Junkie], an album that spotlights his increasingly distinct voice.” – Serge Selenou, Pitchfork

“Whether deploying his typical Lil GotIt-indebted flow, a delirious melodic falsetto, a gruffer tone that recalls Thug’s “Cartier Gucci Scarf,” or all three on the same track, Sk8star’s varied cadences keep things feeling fresh throughout.” – Vivian Medithi, The FADER

“Sk8star’s […] Designer Junkie, the best project to come out of this scene so far.” – Millan Verma, Pigeons & Planes

“underground star to watch” – Elaina Bernstein, Hypebeast

[Friday, October 9th, 2026]

Sk8star, the Macon-raised, Atlanta-based rapper and ØWay member, has shared his new single “Peter Pusher” –– out now. On “Peter Pusher”, Sk8star levitates over a blown-out beat from Project4play, rapping about life between flights. He lands back in Atlanta (“I just flew back to the A”) and is ready to leave again two days later (“I been here 48 hours / I might jump back on the plane”), capturing the fast-paced lifestyle he’s blazed through over the past two months while opening for LUCKI on the Bad* Influence Tour. In between, Sk8star checks his bank account and compares the ice on his neck to Frozone, the frozen superhero from The Incredibles (“My neck, I’m Frozone”).

Sk8star shares “Peter Pusher” at the close of the busiest year of his career. His debut project Designer Junkie landed February 11th to 2.5M first-week streams and a 7.2 from Pitchfork, and The FADER named him one of the 32 coolest artists of 2026 on June 3rd, days before “Double C” with Pz’ pulled 70.4k first-day streams and before his Lyrical Lemonade Summer Smash debut. He released The Beautiful Rebellion on August 12th with production from Richie Souf, Pi’erre Bourne and RokOnTheTrack, and two weeks later joined Young Thug‘s Slime Language 3, trading verses with BSlime, Tezzus and Rob49 on “ØWAYSL”. In September he shared the Skrpina-directed “Lo Mein” video, set on the streets of Tokyo, and closed out his run opening for LUCKI on the Bad* Influence Tour at The Warfield in San Francisco on September 28th before dropping his new single “Peter Pusher” – out now.

Sk8star, the Macon, Georgia native, has grown into one of rap’s most exciting prospects, earning the co-signs of Young Thug, LUCKI, Ken Carson, PlaqueBoyMax, Lil Gotit, and Pi’erre Bourne. A born performer who his mom deemed a “main character” early on, Sk8star discovered his signature flow at age nine the old-fashioned way: by freestyling over A$AP Rocky’s “Peso” instrumental at a cousin’s house. After experimenting with this raw register on early self-released EPs like 2021’s Superstar Status and 2022’s run of Mogul, B4 NWO, and new world order, Sk8star burst into the public eye with 2023’s Whole New Meaning, establishing him within the wider American underground as a key innovator within the new wave of Atlanta talent, alongside collaborators like Zukenee, Lil Gotit, and Diorvsyou. Rebel in the Room, REBELUTION, and PALE FEVER followed, before February’s Designer Junkie (2.5M first-week streams, 7.2 from Pitchfork) announced a powerful new talent in the American underground. Executive-produced by legendary beatmaker and personal mentor Richie Souf (Playboi Carti’s “JumpOutTheHouse”, Gunna’s “Top Off”), it embodies Sk8star’s ethos of “chaotic elegance”, equally influenced by punk-rock legends like The Sex Pistols and Vivienne Westwood as soul-bearing Southern rappers like Future. Sk8star continues to prove to the world that Atlanta is in good hands.
