Releasing his debut mixtape Captain Hook in late 2018, Shordie crafted nine tracks of experimental trap ballads that deal with themes of romance gone wrong. The record’s lead single, ‘(Betchua) Bitchuary’ gave the rapper his mainstream breakthrough: going viral across America, the track hit 100k views in a matter of weeks, leading to opening slots for Ja Rule and Shoreline Mafia and endorsements from famous names across US pop culture: DJ Mustard, 03Greedo, Slim Jimmi and Todd Gurley have all voiced their approval. As Shordie’s online following grows exponentially – the video for ‘(Betchua) Bitchuary’ has reached 19m views and counting – he continues to work on his forthcoming project while taking his electrifying live performances across the US and beyond.
Baltimore-based hip-hop artist Shordie Shordie is cut from the same cloth as Lil Uzi Vert: eccentric, flamboyant and unapologetically unique, his persona is as vibrant and magnetic as his music. An inventive lyricist with a talent for crafting hooks that stick in the memory for months at a time, he’s earned the nickname Captain Hook, a testament to his unrivalled melodic abilities. Prior to its release, his debut project of the same name was eagerly anticipated by a broad and devoted online fanbase that follows his every move: regularly uploading teaser snippets of tracks, he built an electrifying hype surrounding the project that speaks to his swiftly growing popularity.
