As he continued to develop his distinctive sound, he received more recognition and after the release of his project ‘slowitdownn’ Slowthai’s career started to gain momentum, with the budding rapper getting hundreds of thousands of plays on Soundcloud.

He released his first single in 2016, ‘Jiggle’ an energetic track that helped him burst onto the scene, he later stated that it was a joke track. In the following years he released more material including the track ‘Murder’ and EP ‘I Wish I Knew’. It was in 2018, that Slowthai truly hit his stride, with several successful singles such as ‘Polaroid’ and ‘North Nights’ as well as releasing the EP RUNT through Method Records. With his unique tracks attracting attention, Slowthai went on to make a guest appearance on Flume’s mixtape, rapping on the track ‘High Beams’ which raced to the top ten of the New Zealand Singles Chart.
