Dancehall Star 1Ski OG Is Back With Two New Songs — And a New Stage Name

After exploding onto the scene in 2023, Jamaican dancehall artist 1Ski OG talks to Billboard about his new name and his plans for 2025.

“When I came up with the name 1Ski Mask, it wasn’t planned,” he exclusively tells Billboard over Zoom while visiting family back home in Manchester, Jamaica. The new songs build on the trap dancehall foundation he established upon his debut, but the melodic flourishes of their respective soundscapes signal a push into a more expansive sound. With a new name, new music, and a clear, intentional focus behind the next stage of his career, 1Ski OG is ready not just to reintroduce himself, but also establish himself as one of the leading Caribbean artists of his class.
