1Ski Mask has changed his moniker to 1Ski OG
The Dancehall Artiste sat with Billboard where he shared that originally, 1Ski Mask wasn't planned.
He stated that “I was just having fun and called myself that, it went viral and the name stuck with me at that time. Some artists already had the name overseas, so I was informed that for new releases I could no longer release under that name. I never wanted to stray from the name or change it completely, so I just removed the mask part.
The ‘OG’ is a shortening for ‘original,’ I wanted people to know it’s still the same original 1Ski Mask.”
A former social media comedian, 1Ski OG rose to prominence as 1Ski Mask with “Dawkniss,” a Falconn-assisted single that arrived in spring 2023.
To date, the song has amassed more than 1.5 million streams on Spotify alone, helping him score a deal with Against Da Grain/Epic Records by October 2024.
Now, he’s getting ready for a new project due later this year and launching his 1Ski OG era with a pair of new songs that he calls “more universal”: “Feel Like” and “Double Life.”
