About

Rat Boy (real name Jordan Cardy) creates homegrown raps with a rock edge that paint a lyrical dissertation of suburban Britain. It’s a place in which stepping onto public transport is akin to entering a battlefield: a land of wannabe gangsters, muggings and sportswear casualties. The Chelmsford resident encapsulates his environment in songs which flow with wit and caustic disparagement. He’s firmly within the storytelling lineage of Britain’s great lyricists who represent some of his greatest influences: Ian Dury, The Clash, Squeeze, Blur and The Streets. He writes everything himself, eschewing co-writes, and does his own artwork, as well. Having only recently left the UK for the first time, he's coming to China for a tour with a stop at MAO Livehouse.
