Pardison Fontaine

Pardison Fontaine, born Jordan Kyle Lanier Thorpe on December 29, 1989, is an American rapper and songwriter from Newburgh, New York. Before establishing himself as a solo artist, he built a reputation as a sought-after songwriter, co-writing material for major names including Cardi B, Kanye West, Ne-Yo, and Adele, which gave him deep insight into pop and hip-hop songcraft before he stepped into the spotlight himself.

His breakout moment as a performer came with «Backin' It Up» featuring Cardi B, which climbed into the US Billboard Hot 100 and introduced his sharp, punchline-driven flow to a wide audience. He followed this with his debut album «UNDER8ED», released in November 2019, which showcased his versatility across braggadocious anthems and R&B-tinged rap. Tracks like «Peach» with Yung Miami of City Girls and «Shea Butter», which samples Ol' Dirty Bastard's «Shimmy Shimmy Ya», further cemented his knack for blending nostalgic hip-hop textures with contemporary energy.

Pardison Fontaine's sound sits at the intersection of hard-hitting rap and smooth R&B hooks, reflecting his dual identity as both performer and behind-the-scenes hitmaker. His songwriting credits alongside his own catalog make him a distinctive figure in modern hip-hop, respected both for his charisma on the mic and his craftsmanship off it.
