Artist Close-Up: Phora Will Be Yours Truly Forever
I got to listen to Rapper Phora’s upcoming album, Yours Truly Forever, and I am incredibly excited for his future. The young rapper is building a bridge between music that sells and music that speaks. Not every song on the radio, that sells, is one with purpose and commentary for humanity. This does not take away our love for these tracks, but there are moments when we need to go beyond the movement of our body to move our souls again. Phora might be our response to such a need.

Yours Truly Forever Phora etches out the levels of thoughtfulness that a person, especially a young man, can have towards his life. Yes, there are times when you just want to party and get the girl, “To The Moon” and “I Think I Love You”. Yet, even in those times, there can still be a level of care in your approach and dignity in your person. No matter what situation, Phora scopes the struggles to hold on to the respect and strength you should have for yourself when your life feels too dark to be your own light. “Numb” & “Sinner Pt. 2” are just a few of the albums’ tracks that allow Phora to add tension to his naturally eased flow. For him, there is no such thing as spitting or spewing a rhyme. If anything, Phora spreads his verses like ocean water over sand; immersing himself into every grain of emotion without ever losing his freshness as an entity. In essence, Phora knows how to keep his cool, which makes sense, since the aim of his music/ person is to keep his character.

I truly look forward to Phora’s work. He reminds listeners that a beat is only a platform, but the lyrics of a song are its statement. Hip Hop will always have some of the best rhythms of any genre, which is why Yours Truly Forever does not disappoint in making you groove. Yet, Phora is here to make you smile, cry, and, especially, think on the experiences a young man has to go through to keep his sanity and spirit. I am happy to say, after hearing him speak upon the album and share so candidly and kindly his story with others, that Phora has the heart to make many more music-tales to move your soul.
