The last time I sat down with Lucas “Skibs the Kid” Scibetta, in the summer of 2013, he was an 18-year-old, backwards-baseball-cap-wearing rapper and fresh Hong Kong International School graduate, still riding high on the success of his viral 2012 hit, “Hong Kong Kids”.
His G.O.D. clothing line had just launched, and his local notoriety was such that in December, he would open for Pharrell Williams at the inaugural Blohk Party music festival in West Kowloon.
Our catch-up nearly 13 years later takes place over the recent Easter weekend. Scibetta, now a mature student at New York’s Columbia University, is on the cusp of turning 31.
