Shordie Shordie took his songwriting to the next level as he began to put out his first solo music, eventually releasing his debut solo mixtape Captain Hook—a nickname Shordie earned as the irresistible melody man of his former trio—at the close of 2018. Already a megastar in his region, it was only a matter of time before Shordie’s one-of-a-kind sound attracted and enthralled a national audience, captivating listeners from coast to coast. The project’s closing track, “Bitchuary (Betchua)” quickly took on a life of its own, making history two times over. With “Bitchuary (Betchua)”, Shordie Shordie became the first Baltimore artist to go platinum—and then the first Baltimore artist to go double platinum soon thereafter.
