Jorden Kyle Lanier Thorpe (born December 29, 1989),[1] better known by his stage name Pardison Fontaine, is an American rapper and songwriter from Newburgh, New York. He is best known for his 2018 single "Backin' It Up" (featuring Cardi B), which peaked at number 40 on the US Billboard Hot 100, received platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and led him to sign with Atlantic Records. The label released his debut studio album, Under8ed (2019), which failed to chart.
Along with his recording career, Thorpe has been credited as co-writer on songs for other artists, such as Kanye West ("Yikes", "Ghost Town", and "All Mine"), Cardi B ("Bodak Yellow", "I Like It", "Wild Side", "WAP", and "Up"), and Megan Thee Stallion ("Savage Remix" and "WAP").[2] At the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards, Thorpe won Best Rap Song for his contributions to the latter's single, "Savage Remix".[3]
