The name Slowthai originates from his childhood nickname; slow ty due to his slow speech and drawled tone.

In 2017, Slowthai partnered up with indie record label Bone Soda to release his I WISH I KNEW EP, Murder and T N Biscuits. Later in the same year, Slowthai signed his recording contract with Method Records and since has released his RUNT EP and debut studio album, Nothing Great About Britain which charted at number 9 on the Official Charts on the week of release.

In addition to being included in the BBC's Sound of 2019 poll and NME's NME 100 list, Slowthai has also received acclaim from publications such as DIY, Vevo and Metro as well as having his debut album nominated for a Mercury Music Prize.

Slowthai contributed additional vocals on the song "What's Good" from Tyler, The Creator's album Igor. He also featured on "Heaven Belongs To You" from Brockhampton's album Ginger and later joined their HBTY North American tour in 2019 as the special guest.

In January 2020, Slowthai was featured alongside UK punk band Slaves on Gorillaz's single "Momentary Bliss". The single was the first "episode" of their Song Machine project.

On 12 February 2020, after winning the Hero of the Year award at the NME Awards, Slowthai dropped his microphone into the crowd, which was then thrown back at him along with a drink. Slowthai then threw his own drink and jumped into the crowd. Although viewers complained of his comments to Canadian comedian Katherine Ryan, Ryan said Slowthai "didn't make me uncomfortable". He has since apologised to Ryan.

On 15 September 2020, Slowthai released the single "Feel Away" featuring James Blake and Mount Kimbie. The song was said to be a tribute to his brother, for the anniversary of his death. On 19 November, Slowthai released the single "nhs" alongside a tracklist for his album Tyron, releasing 5 February 2021.

On 18 December 2020, Slowthai released "Thoughts" as a single, along with a lyric video that featured local police responding to a complaint of a social gathering.

On 5 January 2021, Slowthai released "Mazza", a single featuring A$AP Rocky.

On 9 February 2021, Slowthai released "Cancelled", a single featuring Skepta.

On 12 February 2021, Slowthai released the album Tyron, which has features including Skepta, Dominic Fike, James Blake, A$AP Rocky and Denzel Curry.
