Clavish released the single "Sold Out Dates" in March which marked his first UK debut at number 93.[9] This was later followed by the song "Greece" which peaked at number 70.[10] Building on the momentum from the two previous singles, Clavish released "Public Figure" which peaked at number 66, marking his highest charting song at the time.[11] The song also received a co-sign from Drake's OVO Sound Radio.[12] This was later followed by the D-Block Europe-assisted "Rocket Science" in November which earned Clavish his first top-ten single, peaking at number 9 on the UK Singles Chart.[5] The single was accompanied by the announcement of Clavish's debut mixtape, Rap Game Awful.[13] The mixtape was supported by the singles "Traumatised" and "No Difference" and released on 13 January 2023, debuting at number 4 on the UK Albums Chart.[6]

On 29 June 2023, Clavish appeared as a feature on D-Block Europe's highly anticipated "Pakistan", the second cut on their sixth commercial mixtape, DBE World.[14] The track debuted at number 10 on the UK Official Charts marking his second appearance in the top ten following his previous D-Block Europe-assisted "Rocket Science".[15]

While teasing his upcoming mixtape, Chapter 16 for months, on September 7, 2023, Clavish released the project's lead single, "Tip Toes" with Aitch.[16] Clavish later appeared alongside K-Trap and Headie One for their top forty charting single, "Tripple Threat" which appeared on the duo's mixtape, Strength to Strength.[17] The mixtape's second single, "Top 2" was released on October 19.[18] This was followed by its third single, "IDK" on February 15, 2024,[19] and the Fredo-accompanied "Uh Uh" on March 7,[20][21] alongside the mixtape's official announcement.[22] The mixtape's fifth single, "10th Floor" with Potter Payper was released on April 18.[23][24] Just weeks later, the sixth single with D-Block Europe, "Most Definitely" was released on May 9.[25] Just a day prior to the mixtape's release, on May 16, Clavish released the final two singles, "Last Night in Paris" and "Vartry Road".[26]
