Life Like by Lord Sko & Produced by Nef is A Street Narrative Over Premium Production

The streets don’t wait—and neither did this drop.
Life Like, the hard-hitting new collaboration between lyrical sharpshooter Lord Sko and Brooklyn-based producer/engineer Produced by Nef, is already turning heads in the boom bap scene.

This isn’t fast food music. It’s survival, ambition, and legacy written in ink and carved into boom bap. Built inside Time is Money Studio, the record marries razor-wire lyricism with cinematic production, reminding the culture that real hip-hop storytelling never dies, it evolves.

Behind the Record

Lord Sko calls Life Like a milestone:

“It’s one of those joints where the vision came together exactly how I saw it. That’s rare. Most times, your idea gets filtered through somebody else. But with Nef, everything clicked. What you hear is what I pictured from the jump.” – Lord Sko

The Studio Grind

Two sessions. One vision.
Verse and hook laid down first. A month on the road. Then back to Time is Money to finish what he started.

“I knew this record was gonna be special. Seeing it received the way it has—it’s motivation to keep pushing. The initial vision followed through on every level.” – Lord Sko

The Sound of Craft

Sko’s pen bleeds honesty and raw reality:

“I barely ever do my business with accomplices
Because nowadays nobody splits accomplishments with common sense.” – Lord Sko

Nef’s production? Hard drums, layered instrumentation, and mixes that snap like cold pavement under Timbs. Together, they’ve built something timeless, raw yet refined.
