Jordy's ascent to prominence can be attributed to his storytelling prowess. Evolving into one of the most revered voices in the UK Rap scene, he proudly carries the title of every rapper's rapper.

In 2022, Jordy continued his musical journey with the release of 'KMT,' a Rap-heavy 6-track EP that served as a powerful follow-up to 'SMH.' This project showcased his exceptional penmanship, clever punchlines, and dynamic flow, solidifying his position as one of the best lyricists in the UK scene. Additionally, he collaborated with his cousin, the emerging rapper Elt Cheekz, on a joint mixtape titled 'IF I COULDN'T RAP, I WOULDN'T RAP.'
