King Gordy Discography Torrent
When we think of the greatest, we think of Tupac Shakir and the Notorious B.I.G. Both of which, are artists King Gordy respects. The film City of Lies was pulled from it’s release date shortly after the release of the following video:
Gordy has worked side by side with living legends as well. Including Seven The General, Eminem, Potluck, Bizarre of D12, among other big names. Including, Tech N9ne on the controversial song, Horns.
With that said, there are people out there that have heard of a documentary series known as, Beef. King Gordy was one of the people featured in the first few seconds of the fourth installment to the series. He was also one of the ones that talked about the death of Proof.
King Gordy even played as Big-O in the Academy Award Winning film for best song in 2003, 8 Mile. Rabbit and others referred to him as the biggest name in Detroit. The iconic character is finally revealed to be King Gordy during a radio interview. This was the same scene that took place, during the Rabbit fight scene in the office next to the soundproof glass.
This is a freestyle on a fresh beat with King Gordy and D12. I think fans of the OG music will appreciate this!
King Gordy has discussed being apart of the project and working with the Rap God. Fun fact, Eminem also helped produce The Entity album.

D12 released a full length album titled, Devil’s Night. You may have purchased it on cassette back in 2001. What you may not know is that D12 made a return on October 30th, 2015. What was the name of the project?
Eminem featured in the intro and D12 kicked off the rest of the album. This mixtape featured Lazarus, Kidd Kidd, Young Buck, and the legend King Gordy. With a 93% on Datpiff.com, it just goes to show that lesser known doesn’t mean terrible.
It’s safe to say that King Gordy has gone above and beyond for the fans. After working with the biggest names in hip hop history, appreciating the legends no longer among us, he himself has become a king of hip hop. A crown that will never be vacated or taken by any other artist.

He is one-fourth of underground hip hop group the Fat Killahz (with Fatt Father, Marv Won and Bang Belushi) and one-half of rap duo Last American Rock Stars (with Bizarre of D12). He is currently signed to Twiztid's Majik Ninja Entertainment.
Early life[edit]
Alford was raised in Detroit, Michigan. His father worked for Chrysler and his mother worked for the school board.[1] His parents split when he was 13.[2] At the age of sixteen, Alford was arrested for selling drugs, and served nine months in a Wayne County jail.[3][4]
Career[edit]
He has started rapping on Detroit local underground hip hop scene in 2000 as a battle rapper. In 2001, along with Fatt Father, Marv Won and Shim-E-Bango, Gordy joined a four-piece Detroit-based underground hip hop act the Fat Killahz as the only singing emcee of the group. He signed with Bass Brothers' Web Entertainment, an independent label that released the first Eminem's full-length album, Infinite, and started work on a record.
Due to this term, Gordy has appeared in the film 8 Mile, in which he played the fictional rapper, 'Big O', the character was regularly mentioned by character Wink Harris as 'the fat man flipping burgers at Mickey D's'.[5] He dropped his debut solo album The Entity in 2003, which is notable also by its audio production handled by Eminem among other producers and rappers appeared on the record. In 2005, Gordy and the Fat Killahz released the group's debut Guess Who's Coming to Dinner? album via No Tyze Entertainment. Same year he made guest appearances on Bizarre's and Proof's debut albums.
From 2006 to 2009, Gordy released another five solo albums via Morbid Music LLC, which featured guest appearances only by the likes of the Fat Killahz and his childhood friend Bizarre of D12, with whom Gordy formed hip hop duo The Davidians in 2008. Gordy's second successful album Xerxes The God-King was released in 2010 and featured his second music video (since 'Nightmares' from The Entity), 'Sing For The Dead'.
In 2011, Gordy released a Detroit blues album, King Gordy Sings the Blues, a new Fat Killahz effort The E.P., and his first extended playJesus Christ's Mistress. The following year he nicknamed himself as Dark Lord Vader and dropped his second solo EP Hail Dark Lord Vader, which marked him his comeback into horrorcore. He has started to aggressively promote his harder image in social media, and Twitter suspended Gordy for various reasons as he mentions on the album.[citation needed]

On June 28, 2013, King Gordy challenged the rapping ability of Lupe Fiasco and other mainstream rappers (such as Mac Miller, Yelawolf, and Tyler The Creator) on Twitter. Lupe Fiasco then continued to fuel the fire by responding to King Gordy, the back and forth continued for over eight hours and both rappers explicitly expressed their respect for each other's craft, but insisted they would beat each other in a rap battle.[citation needed]
In late 2014, Gordy released a song titled 'Return Of The King', which is a diss track towards other rappers such as Lo Key and Tyler The Creator.
