Jordan McCann was in prison when the song that put him on the UK rap music radar was released. Titled ‘Lifestyle’, the four minute song saw Jordan rap about his life of crime and mentioned the people he grew up with in Salford.
“I got everybody in the cell and we barricaded the pad and had a listening party. We just stayed there until they got all the extra staff to rush in the cell and get every one of us, because we were so hyped," he recalls.
“All of us got in trouble, they took our tellies, everything, so we had nothing in our cells, but then I heard the song playing on Unity Radio, and that was the most surreal moment. It gives me goosebumps, I was looking out and every man is at his window shouting me, on four levels, that was the maddest feeling because I’m on radio bro, it was mad.”
