In the years that have followed his 2020 Almost An Adult mixtape, south-east London rapper Jords has not only harnessed the themes of diaspora and his translation of the Black British experience, but he’s employed these to explore his wants, needs and morals unapologetically. “It’s been a journey of stepping into myself, really looking into the mirror and asking myself what do I want to say, that’s been the reason behind the gap over the years. I needed to explore,” he says tenderly.
