Sk8star, born J. Corey King, is a prominent figure in the contemporary Atlanta underground rap scene.
His sound is a potent evolution of trap, characterized by its aggressive energy, distorted low-end, and futuristic synth work. Moving from Birmingham, UK to Atlanta at a young age, he carries a unique perspective that blends international influences with the foundational sounds of Georgia's hip-hop capital. Since his debut in 2020, he has maintained a prolific release schedule, culminating in high-profile projects like 'Designer Junkie' and '2 Sexy'. His work is often associated with the 'rage' and 'pluggnb' adjacent movements, though he maintains a harder, more traditional trap edge than many of his peers. Critically, he is seen as a rising force who bridges the gap between mainstream Atlanta trap and the more experimental sounds of the internet underground. His collaborations with established acts like Lil Gotit signal his growing influence and acceptance within the city's elite hip-hop circles.
